What’s looking good in August

I went out into the garden this morning not expecting to see much to photograph and was surprised at the number of plants looking really good.

Often August is a quiet time in the garden but with plants such as Japanese anemone, Rudbeckia, Buddleja and Hibiscus you can guarantee a good display of colour. Take a look below:

Rose mallow Hibiscus syriacus 'Oiseau Bleu'	Anemone 'September Charm' Japanese anemone
Rudbeckia laciniata 'Herbstsonne' coneflower	Lysimachia clethroides - Loostrife
Rose campion (Lychnis coronaria)	Hypericum 'magical red star'
Buddleja  'Pink Delight' butterfly bush	Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' Japanese anemone
