Plant of the month

Each month I choose one of my favourite plants relevant for the season. So many to choose from, so little time...

Luma apiculata (Chilean Myrtle)

The bough of Chilean myrtle

Luma apiculata is a striking evergreen shrub with pretty white flowers in late summer and amazing bark on mature specimens.

Filed Under: Plant of the month November Winter

Clematis tangutica ‘Bill McKenzie’

The yellow flower of clematis tangutica ‘Bill McKenzie’

This clematis flowers most prolifically from August to September in my garden.

Filed Under: Plant of the month Autumn October

Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Purity’

I always try and grow some of these lovely annuals from seed each spring as they last well into the autumn and plug gaps in the border.

Lavatera maritima

Although included here in August, I could have added this one for June, July or September as that’s how long it’ll be flowering for.

Filed Under: Plant of the month August Summer

Dahlia ‘Verrone’s Obsidian’

Most years I treat myself to a new dahlia and so it was that this beauty caught my eye at a nursery last month
