Soft silver pink. Cornish lily, Cape flower, Guernsey lily, and Bowden lily, autumn-flowering bulbous plant from South Africa. For a position in full sun. Nerine is reasonably hardy and in a sheltered, warm place (possibly with winter cover) will return for years and show its flowers in autumn. Excellent cut flowers.

Sage. Good deep pink Salvia with a somewhat looser growth compared to the Caradonna. Good afterflowering in August when the plant is cut back after the first flowering. Perennial.

Climber, orange-red with yellow flowers on vines, up to two meters high stems. Blooms a month earlier and also longer than T. tuberosum: from July to October.

Calla, Arum-lily, white flowers. An increasingly popular pot plant, both on the terrace and in the windowsill. For the longest possible bloom throughout the summer, regular fertilising in the flowering season is important.
