Well we finally got around to planting up the border. We put in a mixture of plants we can leave to naturalise such as bearded iris, day lilies (hemerocallis), crinums and some heucheras. To continue our experiment we have submerged a number of pots of spring flowering bulbs containing tulips, daffodils, muscaris and crocus to name but a few, which we will leave to flower. At the same time we have planted up in similar size pots, some of the newly introduced tango lilies and dwarf gladioli glaminis, plus dahlias to fit in with the ur scheme groups that we selected. These will of course replace the spring flowering pots once they have finished blooming.
One section I planted was themed blue and white, which contained a variety of muscari, chinodoxia, puschkinia, white daffodils. It’s my favourite colour scheme and I am looking forward to seeing the border in bloom at this time.
Regarding our range of bulbs coming into bloom, we are now seeing signgs of some miniature tulips, dwarf narcissi and some of the hyacinths are almost blooming. See below for some of our pots of colour.
