Very fine collection Shelagh.
The Campanula and Hebe are superb, but the Olearia is a dream for itself.

Thanks Uli, we have had it now for several years but this is the first time it has covered itself in glory like this.

Shelagh,

That's an amazing Spirea.  Such solid flowerheads and such a strong colour.  Beautiful.

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

No Luc it thrives on neglect, it must be more than 10 years old now. It got rather frosted last winter and looked rather damaged but it has come through as usual.

A lovely collection, Shelagh, you must be very happy to see them all flowering so well and the Campanula is a such a spire of bells seen from from inside or out!
