The garden centre is doing it’s clearance but I’m happy to say, I was very reserved, and only got a few plants.
Of course, that’s mostly because I don’t really have much room any more! I was really just filling in a few holes where things didn’t come back.
This little Stonecrop went in the sidewalk garden. At the front of the garden, I have alternating Stonecrops and Hens and Chicks… but the stupid squirrels keep digging up and running off with my Hens. They leave the Stonecrop alone, so I filled a hole with this. It will bloom a nice bright yellow very soon.
I’d never heard of Leopard’s Bane – apparently it’s part of the Aster family – it’s got a nice new home in the front garden now.
There was a little blank spot in the side garden behind some Sedum and Lily-of-the-Valley,and it’s now filled with this double bloom Susan. You may recall I’ve had these twice before – but they never come back. But third time is a charm, right? Plus, it will add some nice late summer colour to that garden.
And last… I found another peach Foxglove to replace the one that didn’t come back (it’s in the same spot.) Even if I have to buy Foxglove every year, I will – I absolutely adore it!
Great choices!! And congrats on your restraint – lol. I do love asters. Please show pics of the peach foxglove when it blooms – it will be gorgeous.

Oh your garden and continued attempts with a variety makes you a certain winner. HERE: Clematis success …all 3 varieties
Something is growing in the front where I planted my gift seeds from my old neighbors garden….? Mums?
My cosmos in a brass container are doing great.
And the pot of moss roses loves the heat and sunny local.
Oh and a rosebush given me after my mom passed, bloomed on Fathers Day1

I think I remember a book, with a storyline that included foxglove as a poison for some nasty person.
