Welcome

Here is my new site devoted to the beauty of herbaceous perennials, hardy garden plants and perennial plants. Largely responsible for the sheer blaze of colour that all our gardens crave through Spring, Summer, and on into Autumn, with this forum I hope to inspire and inform so that you can get the best out of this amazingly versatile group of plants. As well as many lesser known and under-valued plants, there will be features on all our favourite genera. Hosta,s Penstemons, Lupins, hardy Geraniums, Peony, Daylilies, Iris, Japanese Anemones and hardy ferns- to name but a few. Amongst this sheer diversity you will find plants suitable for almost any purpose. You will get advise on growing your own cut flowers, covering problem areas with permanent ground cover, renovating and updating mixed borders with long lasting colour. Plants for fraranace, flowers to attract butterflies to your garden - and so much more. Herbaceous perennials is the one group of plant no gardener can really do without. I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I enjoy creating it! To get started here's a nice summery photo from the nursery. Is there anything that epitomises summer more than thes classic white Dausys of Chrysanthemum maxima?
