Here are the photographs of the things I bought on Sunday. I went to the Nursery to but a few Alyssum (not in the photos – I planted them straight away) and came home with all these “extras”. The plant you see right in the front is my purchase of a “Margaret Roberts” Lavender – just like yours! I think I will have to plant this in that small “full sun” patch I have at the back, or else I will put it in a pot on the back patio. I was SO excited when I found it at the nursery, because I’ve been hunting for one for ages!
My other purchases includes 2 x Blue Ice™ PBR Agapanthus. The Aggies do so well in my garden and these were different and gorgeous (and were a great price – on special), so … they came home with me. The blurb on them says they do well in containers so they might go into the yet unfilled urn I have. Still deciding on that. The other plants are a Mandevilla to go with the other one I have (I have a white one, this one is bright pink / cerise), some begonias (to see how they do in my shade areas), Impatiens to replace the trampled ones and two shade-loving ground covers for that bare patch which is Dexter’s playground. Lets see how hardy they are and if they can cope with Dexter!

Now for some cooler weather so I can get out and plant them all!

Donna, I would send you one but I don’t think it would get through customs control 🙂
Oh wow! You found a Margaret Roberts Lavender!! That’s fantastic! It doesn’t look like it now, but she will need lots of room! Gee – you went shopping – I can’t wait to go! It’s just too dry here at the moment. I have to weed the veggie patch before I can plant anything in it!
I’m not a mad fan of Aggies – but I like the colour of that blue!
Love that color blue on the aggies. So wish I could have them here.
