Autumn Border

Misty, dewy autumn morning

Here we are about to turn the corner to walk down the north side of the house. In the foreground you can see Hosta ‘So Sweet’ with 2 Dolce Blackcurrant heucheras on trial from Proven Winners and a Carex conica ‘Marginata’ on trial from Nooks & Crannies, as well as 3 golden feverfew I grew from seed. The mass of golden leaves on the left is the filipendula where the hen hatched a clutch of eggs. Just beyond it, you can see self-sown flowering tobacco exploding with bloom. On the right, birdfeeder sunflowers sown by the chipmunks tower above the annual dianthus, and if you look carefully, you can see the birdfeeder ensconced in its bower of sweet peas.
