These easy-to-grow flowers promise an explosion of colour that will light up your garden right through to late autumn. See the list below.
Your garden has quite a to-do list this summer. In the vegetable garden, the intense heat and drought turn vegetables into real victims and turn the lawn yellow. During the heatwave, it's crucial to water your plants early in the morning, or in the evening, using water collected from the rain. Don't forget to pick courgettes young, for optimum flavour.
Choose flowers that will extend the flowering season into autumn. Aster is a perfect choice, with its touches of pink, mauve and white to brighten up the borders. Japanese Anemone will add delicate elegance with its refined petals, flowering from September to November. Indispensable for an explosion of autumn colour, Chrysanthemums offer a vibrant palette of hues and withstand cool temperatures.
Sedum, or thorn grass, is covered in small pink or white flowers that add texture and colour, while Coreopsis seduces with its bright yellow flowers, attracting butterflies all season long. Echinacea, known for its medicinal properties, adds purple accents to your green space. Finally, Helenium, nicknamed the"autumn flower", lights up with flamboyant colours ranging from yellow to red, while resisting the cold well.
