These three beauties, Sedums, Penstemons and Persicaria are the last vibrant flames of summer. If Autumn is warm they will continue on through October complimenting the brown and bronze leaves that are beginning to fall from above and the stalks of other perennials that are starting to fade and blanch leaving their delicate little bones behind.
They are also no more than two foot high so they can be used along the front fringes of herbacious borders and near entrance ways.
Top tip: If you cut off the old seed heads of the Penstemons is will prolong their flowering until the first frosts
