Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Giant scabious (Cephalaria gigantea), accessorised with leaves of the pheasant berry and a scattering of hardcore, looking ripe for division
Lockdown is confirming what I already know about our garden – it’s at its best in spring, and winter... well. Let’s just say, winter in these borders requires an exercise of the imagination. Frankly if we don’t get some sunshine soon, I fear that whatever muscle finds itself responsible for that creative operation may suffer a severe strain – in spite of being further ahead than I usually am at this time of year, the muddy beds resemble nothing so much as an estuary at low-tide right now. Bobbing around in the soup like boats beached by the retreating tide, little islands of herbaceous perennials stand proud – echinops here, giant scabious there – and I make a mental note of plants to divide come the spring.
