Yesterday I travelled to beautiful Tayvallich to add two pots to a lovely holiday home.
The customer wanted a fuss free mixture of perennials in a beige pot. So I went with Salvia, Gaura and a H**e as they all have similar care requirements, in a gorgeous frost proof teraccota pot. I also added some trailers to give more character and pops of colour.
πΈ The purple Salvia will flower well into the autumn and is super fragrant.
πΈ The Gaura (purple leaved plant) has yet to show its full beauty - very soon it will grow taller and have beautiful airy flowers through to autumn, that will complement the Salvia beautifully.
πΈ The H**e will produce many more white flowers and will provide evergreen interest year round.
All these plants will fill out over the summer and come back bushier each year. I chose to use only 3 main plants, even though the pot is large, as perennials can have vigorous root systems.
πΌ Pots, plants, compost, planting up, delivery and aftercare advice all provided by myself, and I had the best time doing it all π
Means so much to be trusted with this project πΏ
