Credit: FreeImages.com/Deon Staffelbach Garden Perfection City Escapes provide domestic & commercial garden solutions or Lady of the Night, native to the West Indies, whose creamy flowers open at night giving off a heady scent to attract moths. There are so many interesting climbers and twiners to try. I think that if you have a lot of space, it would be worth growing the Australian bower plant, Pandorea jasminoides. The cultivar ‘Rosea Superba’ has large tubular flowers with a deeper pink throat and purple spots. And a slightly different version of the twining trachelospermum but hardier than some is T. asiaticum, an absolute mass of creamy scented flowers from mid summer onwards. And if you are happy to have flowers looking down at you from the conservatory roof, consider one of the passion flowers. My only gripe with them is that many of them have rather scraggy foliage but that is made up for by exquisite flowers. Two of them come to mind – one of them, a hybrid called Passiflora x exoniensis has rosy red flowers followed by edible fruit. The other one would be a spectacular plant from the rainforests of Colombia, the most exotic P. antioquiensis with huge red fluorescent flowers hanging down from long stems. I may be getting a bit ambitious here. Maybe try big pots of clivias from South Africa – bold foliage combined with stunning flowers. And there are any manner of palms to add to the jungle feel. The Sealing Wax Palm is particularly nice as it has such brilliant red stems. Or any of the bromeliads, most of which come from tropical America. They vary hugely but most of them form a rosette and produce extraordinary strange and rather lurid flowers. Ferns, brugmansias – particularly Brugmansia arborea ‘Knightii’ – look great in a beautiful pot. This plant has huge double and very glamorous white flowers with a knock-out scent. Succulents of all shapes and sizes, aeoniums, aloes, plectranthus from South Africa (you can make quite a collection of these plants grown for their rather beautiful and varied foliage). Try large leaved colocasias. Look out for C. ‘Black Magic’. All these will add to your exotic oasis. This is a good time of year to check out some of the suppliers of conservatory plants. The Palm Centre near Richmond (palmcentre.co.uk) has a wonderful choice of plants and, of course, can help you choose plants for your conservatory’s conditions. Burncoose Nurseries in Cornwall (burncoose. co.uk) supplies all manner of desirable plants. And the Plant Centre at RHS Wisley often has interesting bromeliads and many succulents for sale in their house plant/conservatory plant section. Finally, JungleSeeds (jungleseeds.co.uk) 01491 614765 are a reliable source of both exotic seeds and plants. Sue Whigham can be contacted on 07810 457948 for gardening advice and help in the sourcing and supply of interesting garden plants. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Regular Maintenance Design & Construction Small one off works Turf care management Problem area Solutions Tel: 01435 868211 | M: 07831 302107 | E: damian@cityescapes.co.uk www.cityescapes.co.uk Kate Ball ■ ■ ■ ■ Seasonal Bedding plant displays Approved pesticide/ herbicides operators Habitat Management RHS qualified gardeners CityEscapesWT166.indd 1 30/10/2015 12:07 Garden Design & Planting Plans Individual and bespoke garden spaces 07870 627145 www.kateballgardendesign.co.uk 129 wealdentimes.co.uk KateBallWT177.indd 1 14/10/2016 14:41
