Some Plants at Hidcote

2 comments

Having shown some general views of this wonderful garden, here a few of the plants there that are interesting at this time of year.

Actaea berries

A hydrangea without blowsy flowers

Podophyllum seed pod

Magnolia seedpods

Yucca in flower

A double-flowered form of pomegranate

Probably the best plant of willow gentian I have ever come across

A pale yellow aconitum, obviously enjoying its position

Inula – I do like these daisies and must find room for one in my own garden

Saxifraga growing in a dry stone wall

Commelina colestis (I think)

Ligularia growing beside the stream

And a couple of non-hardy ones to finish with. This is a justicia – the flowers are very distinctive

The climber rhodochiton atrosanguineum

A few ideas there to add interest late in the season.
