Want your garden or allotment to stand out from the crown next summer? Pop these on your hit list for next year and make your blooms the talk of the village show!
Look at my top 5 recommendations for the best summer flowers in your allotment garden.
Verbena Bonariensis - This one is having a comeback into fashion in a big way, and I can see why! The bees love it, it’s great for cutting and its perennial! Hurrah!
Cosmos - No summer garden is complete without some wafty Cosmos, it’s one of the best summer staples! My favourites are the classic whites of Purity and Double Click
Rudbeckia - If you can get it to germinate (it can be tricky!) then it will reward you all summer long with great and powerful, long-lasting blooms! Sahara and Cherry Brandy are certainly varieties you should at least check out.
Dahlias - Go Wild! There is a shape and colour for every garden no matter what your taste!
Sunflowers - Controversial choice for sure! They are either love them or hate them. But if you search a little deeper you can get some stunning and unusual varieties such as Astra Rose.
