Thank you for this Elliott, all very useful information. I love the sanguisorba, its on my wish list, I have seen lots at flower shows this year. I'm also going to get some helenium for next year too.
Persicara and anemone are thugs in my garden, although lovely. I have the white and pink anemone, the white is beautiful, I bought it at Highgrove many years ago.
Thank you again for your informative and very much appreciated post.
This is wonderful - thank you for tons of ideas! I only planted my dahlia tubers a couple of weeks ago and they are going mad already - I don't know if they'll flower, but I hope so. I'll definitely try the Althaea next year - they're new to me. Thanks again.
Enjoyed this: "As we dip into late summer, the garden can look a bit tired. Fading blooms. Ragged foliage. Parched earth. The garden looks like it’s just come off a three-day festival… slightly dazed, slightly crispy, and missing a shoe." Yes, the garden is losing its youthful vigor --- but still blooming!

Here's hoping to some rain.
Thank you Helen. Here's hoping!

Thank you. Very much appreciated. I am sure you will, maybe by September. Althaea is lovely, just watch out for those self-seeders.
