Late August Flowers

Hydrangea aspera and Itea ilicifolia

The horizontal spread of mauve flowers of Hydrangea aspera contrast well with the long sweeping tendrils of the Itea ilicifolia behind.

On entering the gates of the garden the first flowers to be noticed are the really tall Rudbeckia maxima, towering over the herbaceous perennials.
