Garden The plants Planting up the border can feel like the most daunting part of the process; there are so many plants and they all grow slightly differently – and take up varying amounts of space in the border. Spacing is important when you are planting trees and shrubs, because they are going to be in position for a long time and are difficult (but not impossible) to move once established. Do not worry too much about the positioning of perennials; these will positively enjoy being lifted, divided and repositioned every few years. Border design takes time to master, but understanding a little about the conditions that your plants need in order to thrive will help you to position them in the right place. The style of border is entirely down to personal taste and it is a broad canvas, but suiting the plants to their environment needs to come above just ‘wanting’ the plant. I have wasted a lot of time and money trying to get plants to grow in the wrong places just because I like their colour or habit, or just, well having to have them. I tend to start with the framework plants and then work around them. I try – and this is not easy – to choose plants for their shape and how they will play their part in the border as a whole through the seasons. It might help to think of it like a production. There are the stars – you only need one or two of these (too much drama otherwise dahling) – then the other actors, the chorus and the dancing girls. Don’t forget the props, costumes and backdrops departments; these often go unsung, but the whole show would fall apart if you left it to the stars and the dancing girls. Think about the overall impact, rather than the individual plants and how it will change over the year, as the flowers come and go. You can rush out and plant the whole border up at once, or you can take your time and add in plants every now and then, depending on the budget and the time available. Planning and planting a border is very rewarding, sometimes frustrating, but I like to think it’s completely achievable and comfort myself with the thought that even the Hanging Gardens of Babylon might have started off as a hanging basket. Contact Jo for details of 2019 gardening courses 01233 861149 hornbrookmanor.co.uk Clockwise: A lovely combination of spring flowering plants beneath a canopy of trees and shrubs; Annual Cosmos ‘Purity’ is a great border filler Plants for places Dry shade Heleborus argutifolius – a tough evergreen with leathery, architectural leaves and pale limeygreen flowers from February to April. Buxus (box) – puts up with shade and inhospitable soil, but may succumb to box blight if grown in damp, enclosed spaces. Mahonia ‘Charity’- another candidate with spiky leathery leaves with scented yellow flowers in the depths of winter. Euonymus fortunii ‘Emerald Gaiety’ – a tough little stalwart, this variety has pretty variegated leaves. Choisya ternata (Mexican orange) – glossy, dark green leaves and scented blossom in May. Damp soil Hosta ‘Sum and Substance’– great big lush looking leaves. Hostas are slug-prone, but apparently this one is slightly resistant… Cornus ‘Midwinter Fire’ – amazing winter bark in fiery shades on the mound stems. Rheum palmatum – ornamental rhubarb with giant leaves. Astilbe – dainty frothy plumes of flower in summer, likes damp soil, but not too much shade. Iris pseudoacorus – an iris that likes to get its feet wet. Hot, dry conditons Sedum spectabile ‘Autumn Joy’ has succulenttype leaves, loved by butterflies and bees, this plant will patiently put up with most conditions. Phlomis russelliana – grey sage type leaves with whorls of pale yellow flowers that fade into architectural seed heads. Iris (bearded) – good strappy leaves, likes to bake in the sun. Stachys – soft felty leaves like ‘lamb’s ears’ - this plant will spread if you let it. Cistus (Rock Rose) – an evergreen flowering in June/July, it will put up with poor, dry soil. 135 wealdentimes.co.uk
