Today in the front garden, the Veronica is still blooming – all summer long and through September with no deadheading . It looks a little crazy up close, but lovely from a distance.

This purple salvia was a smaller plant, and has spread out, but did not have a really vibrant colour. The Perennial long blooming sage was much brighter.

New Purple Coneflowers just planted, trying to get established.

Tidy pinks are still blooming after a regular shearing. They have not spread from their original size.
