“As leave summer behind, bring the rich warm floral pinks, oranges & russets of early autumn into your garden borders and patio pots with cyclamen, garden mums and pansies. These can also be complimented with lush foliage of ferns and heuchera.”.

“September, the month that transitions our gardens into a rich glow of warm colours. Deep yellows & terracotta reds of helenium’s. Hot pinks of echinacea’s. Fluffy coreopsis in a sunset yellow. Take some time, slow down and enjoy the stroll through your garden”.

Butterfly magnet

A fabulous shrub for wildlife and perfect for containers or borders is this stunning Cephalanthus or 'Button Bush'. It produces nectar rich flowers loved by bees and butterflies. Its show stopping, perfectly round, globular flowers are actually many tiny tubular flowers, which are heavily scented. In autumn, the flowers turn into small fruits, which are packed with seeds that wild birds will feast on. They prefer acidic soil, so add ericaceous compost when planting. Limited availability.
