PART 3 BEST FOR BOLD COLOUR
It's August and we're at the zenith of high summer. To match the temperature, it's a great time to add hot colours. The borders may be brimming, but containers can take the overspill. A neutral pot like this is perfect for bold arrangements. I've chosen reds and yellows, so the plants will glow right into autumn. Dahlias are fantastic for prolonged flowering, as long as you remember to continually deadhead them.
The deep-red Dahlia 'Dark Spirit' accentuates the leaves of the fountain grass. The bright reds of the cannas are real beacons in this arrangement, erupting through the joyful yellow bidens.

We love June
We're cruising towards midsummer: this is a month full of love and abundance. Wherever you look there will be something in your garden that lifts the spirits and makes you glad to be alive. We have colour to cheer us, we have leaves that still have the bounce and freshness of small puppies, we have the first berries fattening up, there are birds frantically parenting very demanding broods of chicks, the bees are all over the place, it's prime barbecue and picnic season, and we have lawns as lush and green as billiard tables. What a month to fall in love.
