Backyard colour

How does my garden grow ...

with purple sage

with rainbow swiss chard (year 2!)

with variegated sage 

with St. John's Wort (that perked up after the frost damage)

with Japanese red maple (acer) ...
and bamboo in the background

with Pieris 'Forest Flame'

(only £2.99 from the grocer's and ... 

dividing has given me two plants!)

with 'red robin' (reduced to £1.50 at Morrisons: super!)
perhaps a theme here: evergreens with a touch of red

with hardy succulent 'hen and chicks' (Sempervivum tectorumice) 

that divide really well and I use in terrariums

with ice plants (one of several, 

which I divide and multiple each year)

with two rather sad looking fuchsias (that I over-wintered indoors)

and an orange pyracantha (bought from Morrisons, 

only £2 and already divided into two plants)

with one stray purple sprouting broccoli

that survived from last year

... and the ubiquitous clematis
