Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Flowers of Magnolia x soulangeana, one-trick pony extraordinaire
In a small garden, the sensible advice is to choose plants that have more than one season of interest. But I can’t help being reminded that sometimes sensible can be a little tame, particularly at this time of the year when gardens and streets are filled with with trees that do one thing spectacularly well for perhaps a fortnight, and then stand about for the rest of the year looking leafy but not particularly fabulous. I’m thinking of cherry blossom, but also of magnolias, whose flowers – by some quirk of the weather – were with us here until yesterday’s freeze; now so much confetti on the pavement.
