This deciduous perennial can grow up to 1m tall and attracts butterflies, which is why it’s also called butterfly weed. Clusters of flat bright-orange flowers in midsummer are followed by long seedpods.
Cistus populifolius is an evergreen frost-hardy shrub that carries white single flowers from spring into summer. Grows best in a hot and dry position on poor soil and is drought-tolerant. Plants are best ordered in spring and planted immediately for good show in the first summer.
Eryngiums are very robust plants that grow well in full sun and can be tolerant to drought. The plants bear spikey cone-shaped flowerheads in blue and silver-grey tones. Spent flowerheads give winter interest to your border, so don’t cut them back straight away.
Caryopteris is a small deciduous shrub with aromatic grey-green leaves and delicate blue flowers that starts blooming in late summer which makes it ideal for adding colour to the garden later in the season. We recommend planting Caryopteris into patio containers when still small and then into your garden border once it has outgrown the container. Once the plant has established it is very tolerant to drought.
The flat flower heads of Achilleas are great for insects to land on and attract many pollinators, especially hoverflies. This variety is best grown in full sun and well-draining soil and looks great in the middle of a garden border. Division every three to five years will rejuvinate the plant.
Cobalt blue flowers that resemble butterflies emerge in summer and last all the way into autumn. The plants can cope with light frosts but might need extra protection during extreme cold temperatures. Cut back in late summer to encourage a second flush in autumn and then trim the following year in spring to strenghten new growth.

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
