Splash of Colour
14Tuesday 09 September, 2014 by Uncle Spike
I mentioned this before, but a few years ago, we took a small bucket of lily’s and year on year have split them into literally hundreds and hundreds of them. We use them all over, up against chainlink fencing, as a dividing border, and in patches on their own.
Makes a great splash of summer colour 🙂

And here as a border…

And finally, to brighten up some fencing 🙂

You give me a great idea with the fence planting! Thank you.

They die back after any light frost, but pop back up in the spring, and other than weekly watering they are pretty indestructable.

Your Canna’s are beautiful! I have the exact same one, given to me last year with the understanding that it was a orange Canna. When it bloomed this year I was ELATED! It is a beauty that is for sure.

Oh, no thanks! I don’t have the room. I’ve given way lots and lots and lots of the red ones. I’ll keep a few of these but not tons.

Personally I hadn’t a clue, but one of our regular Spikette’s reckons they are Canna – looks the same I agree 🙂
