Sandved (Dasiphora fruticosa ‘sandved’) is a new variety I bought this year.
It seems to be doing well and has been blooming several months.
It should be very hardy but time will tell. It would be nice addition to the flowerbed.

Elke
The Elkes (Geranium sanguineum ‘Elke’) are doing fine. They made it through the winter and have been blooming the whole summer.
Bought few more to the new flowerbed I have been building to have some reliable bloomers in it.
Their flowers are a bit delicate when it comes to rain and wind but new ones emerge often so it is not a big problem.
Red Flavour
The Red Flavours (Lilium lancifolium ‘Red Flavour‘) are blooming beautifully.
The dryness has made the red in them even darker this year.
They are very hardy and do not mind the cold winters or dry summers.
Ball’s Orange
I just love the orange color Marigolds (Calendula officinalis ‘Ball’s orange) have. It is so bright and striking.
It always surprises me how much water they need to grow well. The summer here has been dry and some of my Marigolds are still dwarfs and not blooming.
Well I guess I just enjoy the ones that made it.
Garden Phlox
It is already the time for the garden phloxes to start blooming.
This old white variety is always doing well and has been cultivated in the area for decades and decades.
It blooms earlier than the new varieties I have bought and has adapted well to the harsh winters we have.
Mallow
Mallows are doing well this year. My mom has several blooming beautifully.
The mallow is quite easy to grow from seed and plants tend to grow several decades if they like the planting spot.
We only have the pink form of the flower but I think I will buy the white variety next year.
Topmix Red
Topmix Red seems to be a early bloomer which is perfect for our short summers.
The variety is quite short but blooms are beautiful.
The shade of red is also darker than I expected.
Corn Marigold
After a cool start of July we are finally going to have a heatwave up here in the north. Luckily I have a week of from the office and able t enjoy it in the summer cottage.
The corn marigolds (Glepionis segetum) are at their best and I really like the yellow cloud they have formed.
Maybe next year I will plant them to a bigger area to allow them to give even better show.
