Wet Winter, Hot Summer

Are you one of those people who spends a considerable amount of Fall cleanup time leaning on your fork while you formulate plans for next year? I've heard from members, frustrated by the drought of recent summers, who are pulling out their gardens and starting over. For those folks and anyone else wondering what to plant I've done a little research.
Fortunately The Royal Horticultural Society are way ahead of me and published a survey of best plants for hot summers and wet winters in 2014.

The top five:

Himalayan birch 'Silver Shadow


Geranium Rozanne


Daylily 'Burning Daylight'



Miscanthus sinensis 'Kleine Fontäne


Rosa 'Roseraie de l'Hay'


Lots more advice from the RHS here
