As the first flurry of spring colour passes we look to more sustainable sources of colour in the garden.

Strong foliage planting gives vibrancy and interest all the way through the summer and into autumn.

Unlike flowers, strong foliage colour will last for months!

The season of vibrant colour is in full swing, but to keep your borders full of interest takes good plant knowledge. I’m booking planting re-vamps for autumn. Please get in touch via my page for a planting makeover.

Big, bold and blousey is the pallet for August. Just a little effort to keep it all going, plenty of feeding, watering and deadheading, in order to reap the rewards and enjoy a relaxing summer in the garden.

A colourful Spring garden is relatively easy to create but, as we move into September, it takes good plant knowledge and planting design to sustain flower power and continue colour into the Autumn season.
Here are just a few late summer beauties that are flowering well now.
