The shady stone banks are filling out with the lovely dicentra Luxuriant, Veronica gentianoides and brunnera Alexandra. The dicentra will flower all summer if kept moist (a little overnight rain would be lovely!). #countrygarden #wildlifegarden #perennialgarden #islandmagee #antrimcoast #glensofantrim #antrimgardentrail #gardensofinsta #totalgardensireland #gardensofireland #causewaycoastalroute #gw2for1 #shapedbyseaandstone #experienceni #discoverni
