The Actaea ‘White Pearl’ was planted in April 2016, and has always flowered well at this time of the year.
The Cirsium was planted in July 2018, didn’t do much last year, but has flowered well on and off for the last 3 or 4 months.
They both seem to quite like nestling behind the thalictrums and tall shrubs in B2
These are flourishing in the deep shade under the acer and other shrubs in the SE of the back garden. I’d never really noticed them before. They came with the original garden and seem very happy.
Thes are all good at the moment, apart, perhaps, from the N side of B1, which is quite shaded.
Both clumps of ox eye daisies have now finished flowering. The frilly ones had been allowed to flow (nicely) and the common ones had stayed proped up well behind their steel support. The common ones had swamped the monkshood, which will, hopefully, recover.
Aster and phlox just coming into flower.
The lavender from the original garden near the garage is now enormous, but just coming into its own, and covered in bees. It seems to have stopped flopping. I suppose I shall have to reduce it a bit.
The fuchsia should break up the large patch of persicaria and stop it looking rather dull in winter.

The thalictrum aquilegifolium in F2 are perfect this year. I didn’t give them a Chelsea Chop. Not too tall, standing up in the wind and flowering well. Presumably this is due to the particular weather conditions.
The same plants in F1 are much smaller, but still attractive. The euphorbia is bigger this year, which might have shaded them.
The middle plant, which I cut back to the ground, can come out when convenient. The other two have responded well to heavy pruning.
