My Aloe is now absolutely humongous. There’s no room for him indoors, but for now he really likes it out there, even though the temperature hit 2°C a couple of times already. It won’t be long before I close the glass panels on my balcony to protect all of the succulents from frost.
Making a show at the front of the herbaceous border Anagallis monellii ‘Sky Lover’ (blue pimpernel, poor man’s weather glass) is a low, compact, trailing plant. This tender perennial is usually grown as an annual which blooms from mid summer until the frost. The flowers close at sunset or during cloudy weather.
