Having arrived in this garden with just one pink double and one classic dark purple single aquilegia in pots, themselves self-sown amongst my beloved hostas, I now have a huge array of self-sown plants scattered amongst the gravel on the south side of the house. They mix so well with the softness and lightness of the also self-sown forget-me-nots, bronze fennel and the odd brash marigold. If only they flowered right through the summer.
Why I spent time sowing and pricking out bought seed I will never know, and they are yet to flower!
A sea of aquilegia
Working well with the bronze fennel.
Once the flowers have gone, the foliage softens the edge of the decking.
I wonder what colour combinations 2016 will bring?
