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...

Cosmos bipinnatus

Annuals grown from seed are well worth having a go at

Hydrangea aspera ‘Villosa Group’

“An otherworldy unnameable violet-blue that hums at dusk”

Eryngium x oliverianum

A sea holly that is rather special and brings to mind summer holidays with blue sea and skies.

Dianthus ‘Supernova’

This little alpine pink is really putting on a show in my garden after the recent sunshine.

Smyrnium perfoliatum (Perfoliate Alexanders)

I love the bright zing that the euphorbia family bring to the spring garden.
