Kniphofia - I always give them their common name ‘red hot pokers’ which seems a bit odd when I post this yellow one and previously had posted a white variety ‘ice queen’. I love these plants and the late variety ‘ice queen’ is still pushing up stately flowers in a bed at the front but this smaller earlier yellow variety here called ‘sunningdale yellow’ has threw up a late bloom as a result of continuing summer conditions. It had previously put on a great show in July. The number of plants of any kniphofia variety can be increased easily if dug up in spring as new growth is appearing and simply split into smaller pieces with a spade.Last edited by cheops; 17-09-2018, 09:12 AM.

Campanula or more commonly called ‘bell flower’. Was truly beautiful earlier in the year and like so many other plants in the garden has decided to bloom again admittedly with much less vigour. Like all colours there are so many shades. White is just not white. With this plant it is possibly the purest of whites possible and this gives it true beauty. Almost tissue like but such a clean white. I really like this perennial. It always amazes me how a plant’s roots can extract from the soil what is required to make a particular colour. Ask a scientist to extract from the soil a consistently pure colour and he wouldn’t be able to.
