A blaze of colour in the front garden
A garden planted solely with heather offered very little for its owners, now after a redesign the garden is full of interest, colour, and texture.
Two beautiful ornamental grasses, Anemanthele lessoniana and Carex comans bronze have been used throughout the planting to provide to provide yearly colour with graceful arching foliage
A robust evergreen New Zealand Flax adds a striking element to this border with gorgeous red colours on strappy sword shaped leaves
The green and yellow of Euonymous japonicus 'Ovatus Aureus' delivers upright evergreen form to the planting scheme
The front of the border planted with Lady's Mantle, English Lavender, and Heuchera 'Plum Pudding' will spill out breaking its hard edge
With upright spires of purple flowers in May and bronze-green leaves, Ajuga reptans 'Caitlins Gaint, will provide excellent ground cover as it matures
Sedum Matrona 'Autumn Joy' with flat broad heads of deep pink flowers, is not only attractive to butterflies but is at its best late in the season
Penstemon 'Hidcote Pink' with its tubular bell flowers contrasts well against the fountain like clump of Anemanthele lessoniana
Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen' with flat flower heads on tall stems provides colour throughout summer
Digitalis parviflora 'Milk Chocolate' will arouse the senses and stop viewers in their tracks to enquire about its identity, with small cylindical funnels above dark green leaves
Hellebores will provide early season colour nodding gently from the front of the border
Strikingly architectural Allium 'Purple Sensation' will fill the border with starry spherical purple heads in early summer
