Summer Plantings in Lime & Purple


Today I’ll share some of my summer plantings. On the terrace low staircase I have three
big pots that I painted matt black last summer. The pots were brown plastic, old and ugly, 
but turned out looking like new. The paint has not come off and looks flawlewss.



Our house is from the 50s and the plinth is relatively high. When DH built the terrace
20 years ago, we changed one narrow window to a door and two staircases were needed. 
There is a white fence around and also a gate. When we had dogs they stayed there, 
but it is of course not safe for the kittens. I have balcony boxes to add green ’inside’. 
There are also trellis for room feeling and for climbers.



Our terrace faces to the west and is VERY hot in the afternoon, even till 40C in the sun.
That is why we have two parasols. The base of the smaller parasol is camouflaged 
with a flowerpot and stones.





At the shadow end of the terrace there are growing Astrantia, ferns, Ligularia przewalskii 
and Iris pseudacorus. At the other end there are some clematis that are very late this year.



Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; 
to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.
