Comment |
Erect Form. Pruning Group 14. "This selection of Meadowsweet forms a sturdy, upright bush with a bold appearance. Large heads or panicles of deep pink flowers appear in summer, against deep green lacy foliage. Stunning towards the back of a moist border, and especially nice at the waterside. Good for cutting. Plants cannot dry out during the summer. Selected from one of our native North American wildflowers." from Heritage Perennials. Available from Kevock Garden and The Beth Chatto Garden in the UK with Lazy S'S Farm Nursery in America. The Beth Chatto Garden - "The Beth Chatto Gardens began in 1960. From an overgrown wasteland of brambles, parched gravel and boggy ditches it has been transformed. Using plants adapted by nature to thrive in different conditions, an inspirational, informal garden has developed. The accompanying plant nursery stocks over 2000 plants, all sold by growing conditions. From 1977 Beth Chatto and her stand of “Unusual Plants” went on to win ten consecutive Gold Medals at RHS Chelsea. Beth Chatto’s first book, The Dry Garden, was published in 1978. Since then she has gone on to publish eight books, has lectured around the world and written articles for magazines, newspapers and the Internet." |

Gunnera manicata "I have this plant in a bed flanked by Rudbeckia 'Herbstonne' and Salvia guarantica, and fronted by a shasta daisy (Becky) and a crinum. I like it because it's unique. It suffers in droughty years, but our springs are typically wet and it blooms in early June for me, so the decline is typically not witnessed until later and by that time it's sort of swallowed up by its neighbors. It spreads some for me, but not at all aggressively." from Garden Web - "The GardenWeb Forums comprise the largest community of gardeners on the Internet. Whether you're a new gardener or an old master, here you will find like-minded people and friendly discussions. The forums are divided into several lists to make it easy to find a particular subject. Each forum is listed in more than one list. You might want to browse through each list to get a feel for what's here." |
