This was one of my first project a year ago, creating a small cottage garden corner.
Last year with a cold spring but a very hot summer it was a fantastic success.
This year it was great, colourful and bright until July, but recently with the torrential rain we had so far in August, it's fading away quickly.
Some of the plants are thriving like this mallow. Other are struggling.
I still have some gaps to fill up to complete the planting, probably a task for next early spring.
Before the perennials, I put there lots of bulbs, daffodils mostly, but also alliums for a bright display in spring.
I still have to find a way to prolong the season and get autumn flowers.
By the way the mallow was a bargain, 6 euros as a small plant, not too bad.
