I am happy to allow some seed to ripen and share this autumn. Also I am happy to divide. I am going to the Malvern Autumn Show on the Sunday, so if you are going there, we could meet up, and I could bring you some.Stasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616094223215469144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-53477268331289420372015-08-15T09:31:37.498+01:002015-08-15T09:31:37.498+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616094223215469144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-35574005412191389052015-08-14T23:09:38.642+01:002015-08-14T23:09:38.642+01:00Oh that lysimachea is most attractive in both colo...Oh that lysimachea is most attractive in both colour and shape Noelle and sits so well in your vase.

Your very short hair really suited you and it was beautifully cut, and I loved the turquoise streak. If there are any of the plants which you would like portions of, email or phone me, I am more than happy to share. Most of them will be moved and also restricted in their size to make room for other types next year.Stasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616094223215469144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-67458670400366478802015-08-12T10:12:36.183+01:002015-08-12T10:12:36.183+01:00Its a great little herbaceous perennial plant, the...Its a great little herbaceous perennial plant, the green foliage has a very interesting structure, with whorls of small green leaves along the stems. It is fully hardy, and looks as if it will give a good flowering twice during the summer. It tolerates dry conditions too! I had not heard of Pentas, but have looked it up and can see what you mean from the flower heads. Of course, here we could only grow it during the summer.Stasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616094223215469144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-43269473756826051472015-08-11T21:46:25.577+01:002015-08-11T21:46:25.577+01:00Oh - thanks for your kind comments Noelle - I am b...Oh - thanks for your kind comments Noelle - I am blushing to the very roots of my (very short) hair... ;) What a wonderful selection you have put in your vase and it is so very strange to have seen them only a few hours before they were plucked! I especially love the lysimachia but the achillea is gorgeous too and I need to look into that astilbe as I noticed some stunning varieties at a garden we went to recently, unlike any astilbes I had come across before. If you can cut a bloom from each of the plants on one side of your garden and come up with such a lovely vase it says something about your garden and your choice of plants!! Thanks so much for sharing the vase and your company and the lunch and Kenilworth castle beforehand :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-20092978425165457032015-08-11T18:56:53.057+01:002015-08-11T18:56:53.057+01:00It's a lovely collection.

This one is really worth having, and have moved it across several gardens. The seed heads are worth keeping for winter interest too.

I'm not really much for Astilbe but that one is gorgeous and adds such height. I hadn't thought of using Tanna in a bouquet, it is a nice accent.
