JUNE is coming to an end and we have such colour in the garden at the moment between baskets and pots.
Quick reminder to feed your plants regularly as per instruction on the feed you using. The garden is a great place to spend time and slow down the deadheading of flowers and the little nip here and there of leaves and broken stems allowing us to enjoy the scent and textures of the plant and flowers. It’s like time can stand still but what a lovely place to spend our time.
We have a lovely range of perennial and in bloom at the moment the foxglove Digitalis is standing tall and give such a display of colour height and beauty and if you look closely there are more stems getting ready to grow and bloom
The Alstroemeria are now coming in to full bloom and the array of colour available is amazing from creams to Indian summer one of the long flowering favourites at the moment. Dahlia s are in bloom now and again from lovely oranges to yellow they are long flowering into autumn, great show of flowers easy to mind and grow.
Salvia ‘s is so popular this year the shades of purple and blues are lovely and again a gorgeous show of colour.
If you want some thing different through, we have a lovely range of shrubs and sometimes can be equally as nice in a planter, give a moment effect with long ponytail grasses from the stipa family or Heuchera with their dark plum leave even the Nepeta can be very attractive as an alternative trailing plant than say the petunias.
So if you are more of shrub person we have lovely star of jasmine in full bloom sweetly scented and a great climbing addition to the garden. The pointelles are in full bloom from yellow to pink the will flower well into the autumn and I love them can be kept as a medium to small size shrub .The Spirea are another shrub full of colour and long flowering .So with a mix selection to choose from when making an addition to the garden we can give you some options .
Herbs are one we have a great selection available and they are very manageable I do like to add them to pots for the lovely scent and can be used in the kitchen for cooking so on special at moment 4 for €10.
I hope ye are all enjoying the garden and taking time to sit and take in the view you have created.
“Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.”
