realy big empty garden

autumn colour and winter stems, so acers, cornus and coppiced willows went on the list. We wanted to encourage birds, so we cut down a proportion of the larches and sycamores to replant with native trees and shrubs. So anyway: I'd start by thinking about by Diana Reynolds

"desirable" plants that become invasive monsters

in its original site. That'll be the pennisetum. and the blue comphrey, and the big native comphrey, though that's by seed not root. woodruff, a pink willowherb that I was told wasn't invasive, a white aster, one of the bugles. But not your euphorbia by Verdun

Talkback: Choosing plants for autumn colour

feeders on it. Can you suggest something that won't grow too large which will provide as much interest and colour all year? There are beautiful varieties of hawthorn now available and it will survive harsh winters being a native. The spring brings lots by happymarion

Wildlife Ponds

these to create shallows (5cm deep). This is where frogs will spawn in spring. Choose a sunny site for your pond and inlcude lots of native pond plants - such as marsh marigold, frog bit, hornwort and brooklime. If you do sink the tub - which is fairly easy to do by MrsSpratt

Is it wild phlox?

, I think it is Erysimum Bowles Mauve - a perennial wallflower. They have a very long flowering period. I'm fairly certain that we're looking at Hesperis Matronalis aka Sweet Rocket - a native wild flower. At that height and with that growth habit by Robot

Best blue flowering plant

in penstemons is very hard to get. Only in Joyce Grenfell have I found it.....trouble is that its quite a weak grower and rarely makes a proper perennial. The variety called True Blue is really a purplish colour like so many penstemon blues. When creating by Verdun

Welcome to the garden design forum

to see a garden that contrasts the English country garden in rooms style with the modern, visit Kiftsgate Manor Gardens where one of the rooms in the top garden has been re-designed in ultra-modern style. No perennial borders in this one. I wil try by Daniel Haynes
