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...

Miscanthus ‘Cabaret’

The white striped long green leaves of Miscanthus Cabaret fill a garden border

This decorative grass has sturdy foliage that is wider and more ribbon-like than most grasses and beautifully marked with cream central stripes.

Calamintha nepeta (Lesser calamint)

Charming is the word to describe this little perennial, with its clouds of tiny, pale blue flowers in late summer on aromatic plants.

Hemerocallis ‘Joan Senior’ (Day-Lily)

As the name implies, the flowers of a Day-Lily may only last a day, but they do keep coming.

Verbascum chaixii album (Mullein)

A bumblebee gathers pollen from a white verbascum flower.

This mullein gives an upright structure in the border without being too dominant. It’s also a plant that the bees love. 

Filed Under: Plant of the month June Summer

Geranium ‘Stephanie’
