Daisy and Daffodil

Another great purple plant combination this time with white. Purple planting scheme is probably the easiest place to start for a beginner, it’s easy to add in pinks & whites or to contrast with orange or yellow

Purple 💜 and yellow 💛planting combination. Sticking to a simple colour palette can make for a striking border. No fancy plants just good plant matching.

Rich colour planting of Roses, salvias and Astrantia. All these plants come in a variety of colours so you can pick your palette. This combination works really well, almost jewel like.

Dandelions, do you love them or hate them?

Herb gardens aren’t just a culinary delight they can also be beautiful too. This selection of herbs all have beautiful flowers 🌸. Just remember to leave a patch uncut so that the flower buds 🌱 can form. 🤗

Yay! 👏 the Persicaria are now flowering in the garden. Only a couple but they’re on their way 💖

Roses, lavender and a beautiful obelisk to add height to the garden border. If you want a similar look to your garden then take a look at the cottage garden border over at www.daisyanddaffodil.com

Flowers often only last a few days or a few weeks if you’re lucky so here’s a few plants that have great foliage as well as lovely flowers

Great for the wildlife and looks good too. A simple mown path through un-mown grass. And of course less work and less energy used. What’s not to love.

Big love for the tulip right now. I’ll give you a nudge in the autumn to remind you to plant some so you can enjoy their beauty now

If you have a partial shady spot in the garden then this combination would work well together. They’re part of the pink shady border collection at www.daisyanddaffodil.com

Simple planting design. Evergreen ‘lollipops’ underplanted with Lavender.

can’t recommend a visit to this beautiful garden enough. It’s my favourite garden. Full of design inspiration both structurally and planting wise.

Plant now for summer colour. All of the plants in this picture can be planted now for summer colour. Some are featured in my planting plans.

🌸

Now’s the perfect time to plant a new garden border or to just add to what you already have. Be bold and plant in 3’s or 5’s rather than just one plant.

Daffodils, still looking good here in Derbyshire.

Evergreen gardens can be really striking when you start to include shape into the design.

Love this combination of purples from the salvias/lupins and the grey foliage. Photo was taken at Chelsea flower show during the garden build.

White daffodils are my favourite daffodil. Those and the pale lemon variety.

Pheasant eye daffodils. Flower a little later than normal daffodils.

Roses look better when planted with perennials. I love roses but I’m not a fan of a rose border - too much bare soil. Roses look better when they’re in the company of other plants, ones that compliment the colour of the rose. This combination works beautifully.

Tulip ‘Ronaldo’ planted these gorgeous crimson bulbs in the autumn. Took me 10 mins and I’ll soon be reaping the rewards when they flower in a couple of weeks.

Astrantia. Very easy to grow, asks very little of a gardener. Perfect for a beginner. Oh, and the bees simply love it!

Planted these in November, looking forward to seeing them flower in a few weeks time

Sowing second lot of sweet peas today. Last years were beautiful. The collection was called ‘Midnight’
