The larger plants include a lemon gerbera, a white dahlia, a rust coloured chrysanthemum and 2 salmon / apricot coloured Echinacea ( mooodz sympathy )( heat loving compact varieties ) Between I have put either lemon Guems ( perennials ) or blue or blue and white Lobelia ( annuals. ) or lemon marigolds.
From the other end.
Although it looks pink here this is the pale orange echinacea (2) I put of in. ( quite expensive but worth it if they thrive. I have had them in my last garden. Butterflies love them.
I did bring from my last garden a container of my precious Burtonii Freesias but that wont be enough for picking. I love to pick great bunches of freesias in the Spring and only plant the scented ones.
I am pleased with my efforts and like the result. When I walk out the laundry door to go to the clothes line I can see this and think that looks so much nicer.

I also planted white freesias under a cherry tree and a dark navy ajuga under a magnolia ( which if it does well I will add to. )
My garden tasks over the next little while will be just watering and weed maintenance.

Well done - you are going to have a beautiful and very fragrant mixed bed blooming there.
Like that you have some butterfly favorites! They always make the garden special in summer. . . . . .and love you can hang the laundry out to dry.
I have plenty of gardening required - wish you lived closer, haha!
It's looking lovely and you will have the wonderful smell of the fresias in the spring. Like you I love to have them indoors.
Our frost free date isn't until May, so we have a long wait before ours. All your plantings sound wonderful. I am smelling the freesias already from over here!
The garden looks fantastic, and it is the perfect time of year to be planting. Spring should be lovely.
