This change often begins with the first flush of flower from crocosmias, along with achillea and heleniums, and followed by rudbeckia, helianthus and lobelia Queen Victoria. |
Anthemis, Michaelmas daisies, heleniums, shasta daisies and rudbeckias all have a longer and more showy flowering period if rejuvenated from year to year. |
Ideal plants are crocosmia, ligularia and heleniums, which peak in late summer and look best in the afternoon sun. |
Suitable specimens are heleniums, sedums, rudbeckias, echinaceas, solidagos and phlox. |
Blackflies' favourites include nasturtiums, heleniums and beans while greenflies' top priorities are roses and some varieties of honeysuckle. |
Admittedly, you may find it uneasy among pinks and magentas, but surrounded with hot orange potentillas and tawny heleniums, the roses come into their own. |
