Plants for August


There is still plenty of colour in our garden although it's late August. Here are a few of my favourite plants for August that always give a good show of colour when lots of other plants have been and gone ...

Sunflowers - always a welcome sign of late summer.



Different varieties of Salvia giving a good show and attracting  the bees still. 


Agapanthus just about to burst into flower.

Verbena is always one of my favourites for late summer, both tall and small varieties. 


Lower growing verbena



Crocosia hiding behind the verbena gives a hot orange colour to the side border.  


Rudbeckia in full bloom, adding an autumnal glow.
