drooping coneflower
drooping coneflower £6.99
Position: full sunSoil: well drained neutral to slightly alkalineRate of growth: averageFlowering period: June to SeptemberFlower colour: yellowOther Features: flowers are good for cuttingHardiness: hardy annualGrown for their unusual yellow flowers which have long column-like centres, these plants will thrive in hot, dry spots where most others would fade.Strictly speaking they are perennial, but are more usually biennial, and often treated as an annual and replaced every year. They will put on a really good summer display in the border, and the flowers can also be cut and brought indoors to bring a naturalised touch to a vase.Garden care: Avoid overwatering and stake if grown in exposed areas. Apply a generous layer of mulch around the base in autumn if you would like to try to keep it for another year.
daylily
daylily £6.49
Position: full sunSoil: fertile, moist, well-drained soilRate of growth: averageFlowering period: June and JulyHardiness: fully hardySweetly scented, creamy white, lily-like flowers with a green throat, last just one day but appear continuously in June and July. This elegant daylily looks fabulous planted in drifts in a sunny mixed or herbaceous border. Or to fully appreciate its fragrance, plant it close to an entrance or path. The bright gr een, strap-like leaves are semi-evergreen in mild areas, and soon form large clumps of strap-like foliage that helps to suppress weeds and disguise the dying foliage of spring-flowering bulbs. Like most hemerocallis, it is robust and easy to grow, and provided you follow the tips below and it may flower again in August and September. Garden care: The Greek term 'hemerocallis' means 'beautiful for a day', and daylilies need regular deadheading to prolong flowering and prevent their unsightly deadheads from dominating the scene. Each stem carries several flowers, so snap off each flower as it fades. When the stem has finished flowering, cut it down to the ground. After the plant has finished flowering altogether, pull out the dead leaves. When the foliage is looking tatty, cut it down to the ground and fresh new growth will appear. Lift and divide every two years in spring to keep the rhizomes vigorous and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. Water frequently from spring until the buds appear.
