Peter Beale’s modern Climber ‘Dublin Bay’, unfortunately no scent, but it is the most beautiful bloom.
Height: 8 ft. (240 cm)
Width: 5 ft. (150 cm)
Clusters of medium-sized, fully double, bright scarlet-crimson flowers. Flowering June onwards and likes open sunny position with free draining soil. The label says it can tolerate poorer soils, but we have planted it in a nice rich Rose and Tree peat-free compost.
Simple pruning in March, or before new growth starts, y removing any dead or thin branches, and tie in as you go.
Feed in Spring and again in Summer.
I added some of random Sweet peas to the container … ‘Spencer’.
Then ate a delicious piece of Ruby’s Bakery Red Velvet sponge before - for the want of any where else to put them at the moment - adding in two Nesmesia.
On the right Sunmesia ‘Banana Swirl’.
Height 30 to 40 cm
Scented bi-colour plant that is suited to hanging baskets, but does equally as well in a container.
On the left Nuvo’Burgundy Bicolour’.
Height 15 to 20 cm. Again, it should like this full sun position in the container in our vegetable patch at the end of the garden.
Both of the Nemesia smell Devine, it I think the scent of the Burgundy Bicolour just has the edge, but I love the Banana Swirl colour and flower slightly more. You can’t have everything right?
I also have a couple of seed packets of Nesemia, which I hope if I plant them in the week, might just get to flowering a bit later on in the summer.
The Potting Shed is being installed on Friday next, but I still have a few jobs to do before then. Despite the heat we e just trimmed the end and side hedge a bit to make it easier for the installers, and have now taken root under the parasol.
I still need to weed more in the vegetable garden, and then we have to instal a large raised bed and fill it. I also have a Nepeta to plant, and a couple more to buy, behind the Lavender Hedge. Plus track down some Lemon Balm (Melissa Officinalis) for the same area.
