Lavender World Has Tips on Filling The Garden with September Sunshine

(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 26, 2011 ) Yorkshire, UK -- As the nightÂ’s draw in and guests sit on a darkened patio of an evening relishing the scents of the garden plants while the cooler breeze forces the leaves from the trees, they are quite melancholy thinking of a season ending and the beautiful annuals making their last show.

However, although spring came early this year meaning flowers have died off a little prematurely, there are many ways people can extend the season, and with the help of a heavy knitted jumper and some fingerless mittens they can carry on appreciating their gardens for months months to come yet.

A popular pastime around this time of year is choosing from the cosmic collection of bulbs on offer, and as people plant them three inches deep into soil that is still frost free they envisage the generous parade of tulips and daffodils that will greet them as their gardens awaken after their sleep, yet thatÂ’s not all, for full winter colour there are plants that will flower now and ensure colour even in the coldest of weather, giving people the feel of a fresh spring morning come rain or shine.

Dogwood is dazzling, and whilst it is adorned with green leaves in summer, as these fall, the bright bloodshot stalks stand stunningly against any background, a definite eye catcher and a must for all year round vibrancy.

Rudbeckia adds focus to any autumn plot, in a variety of shades it complements the changing seasons, giving strong flower heads that stand up to the increasing winds, and as it rises high it is flawless at the back of a border.

Anemones first imported from Holland have become a classic English garden favourite, with their long green stems, bright white petals, and eyes that seem to follow floral enthusiasts around the lawn, they will soon become the favourite garden plants.

Grasses are a great way to add texture and life to a hibernating garden, and the right varieties will blow in the breeze creating a joyous symphony of nocturnal noises, a popular one this time of the year is stipatennuisima, that never sits still as its feathery blooms comfort the senses with their constant swaying.

Novice gardeners may think the hydrangea is out of fashion, but thereÂ’s a reason this sturdy shrub has stood the test of time, garden centres will now sell blooming hydrangeas in colours ranging from sapphire toruby, and the fragrant flowers will add intrigue and depth to any perimeter.

Verbena is not only wonderful for attracting wildlife to the garden, its long blossoming life ensures lollipops of colour, and people will benefit from a vase of fresh flowers up until Christmas day. Gardeners tend to dry the stems and flower heads, upside down from a beam in their offices; they fill my working days with a lovely scent and when completely dry make a great pot pourri or crafted gift for a loved one.

This is just a small sample of how a person can extend a September garden, yet with all the advice in the world, nothing beats donning that raincoat and taking a walk around the local garden centre to see what they have on offer.
