First snowdrop of the season! November 1st. Popping up amongst the falling witch hazel leaves. What a treat - it’s not a trick!
Good spotting @vonschle

Do you want a flowery garden? My new book - The Ul

Do you want a flowery garden? My new book - The Ultimate Flower Gardener’s Guide takes you on a flowery journey through the gardening year. Everything that I have written about and photographed is backed by practical gardening knowledge and solid horticulture. Here at my garden just outside Philadelphia I experiment and try everything myself. I have also directed two public gardens and grew up gardening in England. I love flowers and growing flowers and hope that through my books and lectures I can help you to GROW MORE FLOWERS.
Here in the late October garden we have a variety of plants still in bloom but the stars are the hardy chrysanthemums. These are perennials that are very easy. Trim them back about 3-4 times before the 4th of July to keep the plants compact and to increase bloom.

Go Phillies with a couple of red flowers in my Herb Garden. First up is the bright red Pineapple sage (Salvia elegans). When you rub the leaves they smell vaguely of pineapple. Next up is a single dahlia - great for the pollinators. And last up for the win are seeds to be collected. Tansy and Fennel. Go Phillies!

Tricyrtis is a fall-blooming plant of temperate woodlands but looks like it should be tropical. It’s common name is toad lily - maybe due to the speckles and spots.

Marigolds are still blooming. These are tall and perfect for cutting. Latin name Tagetes patula. They were grown from seed this spring. They were puny looking plants for ages. They started flowering in late summer but now are threading their way between zinnias, flowering tobacco, and Celosia.

Fall Cutting Garden at Northview is still packed w

Fall Cutting Garden at Northview is still packed with flowers. In order - flowering tobacco, annual blue salvia, Calendula (pot marigold), Tithonia (Mexican Sunflower - green leaves, tall plant, orange flowers on top), Gaillardia, sunflower, more flowering tobacco or Nicotiana, dahlias, pearly everlasting, Cleome (spider flower), and lastly the tall yellow and white flower with a strong honey scent is Bidens ‘Hannay’s Lemon Drop’. Quite a line up of flowers for late in the growing season. Next growing season I will be sharing more of my tips to have a full, diverse, pollinator-friendly garden that you can cut flowers from.

There are certain plants that do not look real. How about this fruit of Euonymus americanus commonly called Hearts-a-bustin’. It is a shrub that thrives in the part shade of a native Eastern USA woodland. Protect it from deer browse.

On a dull day a glimmer of sunlight filters through the red petals of this tall zinnia. The details underneath are rarely seen but they are a fascinating pattern.

Dahlias fill my heart and vases at this time of year. This one came to me from a friend as ‘Ellen’s Orange’ but may be one called ‘Lucky’. What a great plant. One of the earliest to flower and produces copious blooms. Great for cutting. Beautiful symmetry and shading. Thanks Ellen 🧡

GROW MORE FLOWERS! Light frost last night but I am

GROW MORE FLOWERS! Light frost last night but I am making the most of every last flower. Picked these with my 3-year old grandson. He only wanted to pick red flowers as that is his favorite color. I managed to sneak a few other colors in as it was for his mother.
I want to grow more flowers next year!

Flowers from the garden today. Such a special treat to be able to pick a big handful of blooms. Dahlias, marigolds, asters, and zinnias. Yummy colors that seem to match the season.

Love the garden structures at George Washington’s Mount Vernon. Which is your favorite? Mine is the one in the corner of the upper garden that is integrated into both the wall and the fence. Shown views from both inside and outside the garden. Short video at the end with the sound of crows cawing in the background.
