This container included cultivars of summer bedding plants including Petunia, Brachyscome and Lobelia erinus which produced great colour combinations that complimented each other and the house paintwork.

These trailing cultivars of the tender perennial Petunia have been bred to continue to flower throughout the growing season. The plants are used for seasonal displays such as these hanging baskets performing successfully in a range of weather conditions including the cool and windy summer environment of Kirkwall high street in Orkney.

The annual Lobelia erinus (trailing lobelia) is a traditional summer bedding plant and is often seen in hanging baskets. Here it looks wonderful cascading from this container in a semi shaded courtyard. There is a Petunia in the centre of the display.

Pretty in pink! Making a statement in front of this cottage were containers of petunias, one cultivar is probably Petunia 'Shihi Brilliant' (Surfinia Series). This vigorous trailing plant is grown as a summer season tender perennial for containers. The purple flowering cultivars seem to have the strongest scent.

A cool green plant association with the foliage of Solenostemon (coleus) and the flowers of Nicotiana alata ‘Lime Green’ (tobacco plant). Solenostemon (coleus) is a tender perennial grown for the foliage with insignificant pale blue flower spikes produced in the summer. Nicotiana are grown as annuals and being moth pollinated have flowers which are strongly scented in the evening.

Now starting to tire, but still holding on to a reasonable amount of flower; today’s #oneadayplant Tagetes patula (French Marigold) variety is ‘Red Cherry’ at a guess. . I have a love/hate relationship with bedding marigold species and varieties. I really can’t abide the large flowered forms (Often African Marigold varieties). I’m not a big fan of most French Marigolds either. I do really like the some of the simple, single flowered Tagetes tenuifolia varieties though. I think it is me struggling with orange and yellow flowers in general. A lot is very quickly way too much for me. . I know a lot of people love them and I can see why. They flower really well in bright, vibrant colours over a long period. I can just about tolerate the plant pictured, but I really don’t love it. . Like so many bedding plants, recent breeding has been to make every form very compact. I hate this. Who wants a plant that only gets to 20cm (7”) high and wide? Surely double that is easily accommodated in most situations. I find it depressing. . Search out older strains (they can be seed raised). Get something a bit beefier than most modern plants. Look for the beautiful single flowered forms, but if blousy is your thing, then African Marigolds are the answer. . #beddingplant #annual #plants #tagetes #marigold #frenchmarigold #africanmarigold #marigolds #iplantsman #orange #yellow #red #dwarf #tagetesflower #tagetestenuifolia #tagetespatula #blousy #colourful #garden #gardening #gardeningadvice (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFg1aYygG3v/?igshid=bil37gydtriv
Never really liked Petunias. . Million Bells/Calibrachoa and some colours of Petunia Surfinia I can see some value in, but I’m not in love with them. . Perhaps I’ll change. Perhaps not. . I do like the colour of this Petunia though. Such a rich, velvety Fuchsia Pinky-purple! . #petunia #beddingplant #garden #colour #calibrachoa #millionbells #fuchsia #purple #pink #cerise #flowers #gardening #gardeningtips #gardeningadvice #plantingdesign #garden https://www.instagram.com/p/CCO51kngzWf/?igshid=iu820qgldjb

The variation of cultivars of Canna indica (Indian shot, African arrowroot) on display at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Hampton Court Flower Show. This tender herbaceous perennial can grow up to 2m. They thrive in a sheltered, warm site with plenty of water. In autumn the rhizomes can be lifted and stored in a frost-free place or, in mild gardens, left in the ground covered with dry mulch.
