Thanks... I'll look for those...
I want to plant more campanulas in my gardens...
..just hoping the slugs and snails don't like them too much...:o(
Please tell me the name of the pale blue variety...
Re. your above comment... are you saying that all small campanulas should be in dampish soil at all times ? Thanks.

This is lovely....is it easily available, please ?
Now on GoYpedia Campanulas. :o)

I think we would all aspire to this - what an entrance!

Thanks Andrew |Tell them I will move in on Saturday if thats ok?

your front garden is lovely

That a front garden to be proud of, Andrew its lovely.

I love it too !
Is this your front garden Andrew? The planting is brill, love all the colours and different leaf shapes

I love this !
The planting looks interesting and full, the paths planting leads your eyes up and the 2 topiarised pillars look great.
I want this frontage !!!

Will make a note of that , ours is evergreen and it looks as if it has had it's day, did not realize they were short lived, especially evergreen varieties.

Found it, Andrew - thanks. I might well be ordering that Dianella!

Found it, Andrew! I still have it on my wish-list after reading the article and seeing yours. :-))

Blimey its a stunner is.nt it.

What a Amazing Leaf :)

looking at your plant, I really must find one, it's a beauty:))

Andrew is this an evergreen variety?

Yes a beauty.

One you dont see very often, very unusual.

Our garden could cope with that, as it is a dwarf form.

Wow I thought mine was good, yours is stunning Andrew, will try mulching this year, we have lost ours in the past.

How about a nice scratch and sniff button..........

One of my favourites too Andrew; I lost one last winter even though I covered it with fleece.I planted another in the spring and hope to get it through this winter. You should see them down in Cornwall, they grow huge!

Crikey, that puts mine to shame - absolutely beautiful. I think it's so cold here it gets going very late.

A favourite of Christopher Lloyd, read his books.

I wish there was a button to click on for 'smell'!

Mmmm, that's very nice.
Must read up on it.

Wow, stunning! Do you cut it down in winter or does the weather do that for you? They get straggly if left don't they?

Lovely colour and structure ! :
Nice one, Andrew..:o)

Nice to see how a border chages throughout a season it all looks nice and tidy as well.I find my geraniums give me long lasting colour especially Mavis Simpson and Bill Wallis.

I love Christopher LLoyds books, have put one on my Christmas list and Sarah Raven and Will Giles latest one.

Thanks for a very interesting blog chock full of details and great ideas. The pictures (and of course your garden) are beautiful! Best of luck choosing other plants for fall interest. May I recommend a book a friend told me about and I bought? "A Garden For All Seasons" ~ Create a year-round beautiful garden, by Pippa Greenwood, copyright 2002, published by Headline Book Publishing. I had to order it through mail order, but you may be able to find it at a local book shop. I know I have a similar problem (4 season interest in the garden), so I am going to re-read her book! Thanks again~~ Lisa :)
