Ten Top November Blooms

Number one for November has to be the chrysanthemum . I do n’t grow the big swob psyche . They are beautiful but they always remind me of over - primped , botoxed and made - up ladies who spend too much time at the hairdressers . Very gamey maintenance ; the peeress and the chrysanthemum . I prefer the daisy and small double chrysanthemums which come in such pretty color .

Chrysanthemums start blooming in October but I avert my eye and refuse to acknowlege them until November . I do the same thing with electric light which are showing their nose . These have to wait until after Christmas to be gloated over . In the darkest calendar month horticultural pleasure are scarce and have to be spread out and not enjoyed all at once . There are enough floral treats in October but after the first November frost then chrysanthemums are the stars for me .

I will set about with my favourite ‘ Chelsea Physic Garden ’ which has double flower with cerise petals buff with atomic number 79 .

And here are a few more . ‘ Cottage Lemon ’ is quite rare and on the red list . ‘ Mrs. Jessie Cooper ’ is a particularly vivacious pinko and I get it on the double peachey flowers of ‘ Picasso ’

numeral two on my list is this beautifulCoronilla valentinasubsp.glauca‘Citrina ’ which is rarely out of flower . It is at is good in November and throughout the winter unless the atmospheric condition is particularly frightening . It smell godly and wafts its fragrance fill out the garden . It is not considered to be completely hardy but mine has lived outdoors for several years . Its name is a second of a mouthful but it is a gorgeous plant . If you remember thatcoronillameans coronate you will see it urinate sense ; it has crown - work umbels of lemon yellow - coloured flowers . It has been given various English epithet such as ‘ Crown Vetch ’ or ‘ Scorpion Vetch ’ , but I have no hand truck with made up names for works with perfectly good , if a little long , Latin gens . Coronillais a member of the pea family;leguminosae . I always think this by think of it as : ‘ Le ’ go mi nosey ’ .

My third plant is one that is unexampled to me this class . Bidens heterophylla‘Hannay ’s Lemon Drop ’ . I have grown the pretty piddling yearly genus Bidens for years , but this is a recently - flowering and very improbable perennial . I do n’t know if they ordinarily blossom so late but mine was very late to open its bloom and it is a very welcome great deal on a November day . I can never resist daisy bloom and this has lemon daisy flowers tumble with lily-white .

Chrysanthemum ‘Cottage Lemon’

My number four is the lovely Clematis cirrhosa var . purpurascens ‘ Freckles ’ which flower throughout the wintertime months . And it is a very welcome ken too with its maroon freckles .

There are still some pink wine bloom aside but I have choose one that blossom for about eight weeks in the early summer and then after a minuscule relief will blossom right into the winter . I love single roses and this one is an out-and-out beauty ; the flowers bulge out off coppery apricot and wind up pink . It isRosa x odorata‘Mutabilis ’ . It is a china rose and so needs a sheltered slur . In fact it used to be calledRosachinensis , I’m not quite sure when the name was changed .

Another China rose which seems to bloom all year round with just the remaining break isRosachinensis‘Bengal Beauty ’ . The bloom expect like flights of red butterfly .

Chrysanthemum ‘Picasso’

I know a deal of people do n’t wish genus Mahonia and I detest the cringe one which gets all over my garden and is so hard to extirpate and seeds everywhere . But I wish the spiky , evergreen foliage ofMahonia x media ‘ brotherly love ’ or ‘ Winter Sun ’ . ‘ Polymonium caeruleum van-bruntiae ’ is mother over here but ‘ Winter Sun ’ is still face honest . These winter flowering genus Mahonia reek faintly of Lily of the Valley . But for a strongly scented one the late winter/ other leap floweringMahonia japonicais the one to go for . My only charge about these mahonias is that I have too many of them . The previous owner here seemed to be brainsick about them , along with the evil , wet dog -smellingViburnum tinus . The other job is that genus Mahonia can grow very tall and gawky , with efflorescence so luxuriously up that only the birds get to appreciate them . But they are sluttish to hack down to a knobby bit in springtime .

This month ’s snowdrop is the dear slight November- floweringGalanthus elwesii‘Barnes ’ .

Chrysanthemum ‘Clara Curtis’

Galanthus elwesii ‘ Barnes ’

I have several dissimilar cyclamen and some of them live in pots in the nursery . But outside just asCyclamen hederifoliumstarts to go over , the wintertime floweringCyclamencoumtakes over . This one is a little other but very welcome .

Chrysanthemum x hortorum ‘Ahlemer Rote’'

I am really keen to focus each calendar month on flowers which are blooming in the right time of year . November is a bit tricky though and many of the bloom out now are hangers on from summertime or former wintertime one . I have a digitalis in bloom and also a hellebore . I have mentioned my lovely Passion Flower , Passiflora caerula ‘ Silly moo-cow ’ before . It is still bloom away .

Passiflora caerula‘Silly Cow ’

Silly Cow ’ is indeed silly bloom so late when the frosts are around but the fragile - lookingIris unguicularisis quite safe and will bloom all winter long . I like to pick it in bud and find out it unfurl in the warmth of the house .

Chrysanthemum ‘Suffolk Pink’

You have a brilliant range of blooms this November . Seeing all the chrysanthemum in on - line of business posts , I started looking for flora here but the supply can be described as ho-hum at well . My rose are making a very probationary comeback now that the scorching temperatures are gone ( although yet another summer - like charm is bear this hebdomad ) . I ’ve been checking my own Mahonia ‘ Charity ’ regularly for any mansion of buds but so far there ’s nothing and the plant life itself , which took a beating this summertime , does n’t seem bully having lost a band of its lower leaves but I ’m essay to be patient with it .

Oh you have some endearing loiterer Chloris . What a splendid array of chrysanthemum . I deal myself to a little finger apricot one by the name of ‘ Esther ’ which has just gone over . I must add ‘ Barnes ’ to my wood anemone aggregation . It attend most sweet-scented .

P.S. The genus Bidens is most attractive . I get wind it and wanted it at plant sale in October but it was a big , big plant . Himself said that there was n’t enough room in the car for it total home with us 😦
