Thanks, I struggle to find little front of border fillers that can both cope with clay soil and don’t fry in the sun here, but that little euphorbia is a good one. I did add lots of grit though.
This is a new one for me, so I can’t say how it will do yet. Hebe Green Globe, for a part shade border. Rather cute, might make a good evergreen edging for a path:
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Nepeta ‘Purrsian Blue’ plumping up and taking over from dying crocuses
Nepeta ‘Kit Kat’ is smaller but the spring foliage doesn’t appear as tight as ‘Purrsian Blue’ and it’s covered in white spots — this is its first year with me so will see how it goes
Fresh growth on epimedium ’Orange Queen’ (‘Orangekönigin’)
..yes, very nice selection, and such a good way to grow a few perennials... I'd appreciate some names of the white spiky ones, I might have seen them on an earlier thread but I'm not good with those.. the one in front looks like a Miller's Crimson Primula..
Thanks! Spot on with the Primula. The Tiarella's are "Pink Skyrocket" and "Sugar 'n' Spice". I forget which is which, sorry. I adore Tiarella's.
@alex.jones401 ..thank you.. I think I need some Tiarellas. Please show some more of your pots as the season progresses.. @TheGreenMan ..thanks a lot.. you weren't far out there..
@Athelas .. some nice Nepetas. They look like compact types.. lovely displays..
@Nollie ..I like rounded globes of Hebe's. I used to have 'Cobb Valley' which is likely very similar.. It never flowered for me though but that wasn't the point of them really..
Could be Tiarella Spring Symphony not sure about the leaves. There are so many lovely ones .Perhaps @alex.jones401 can tell us. A lovely 'eye' for colour.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
Aster 'Monch'.. a big clump, makes a nice rounded outline this time of year.. Erysimum 'Golden Jubilee' a bright, evergreen ground cover.. ..lots of flowers on Berberis 'Bagatelle'..
