A revisit to this Tunbridge Wells garden, 18 months after planting đż
Itâs always rewarding to return to a garden and see how the planting has developed, with the original design beginning to reveal its full character as the plants mature and establish.
Designed in a classic English country garden style, the planting combines a cool, restrained palette of greens, whites and deep purples, punctuated by vibrant flashes of colour. Repetition is used throughout the scheme to create rhythm and gently guide the eye across the garden, with drifts of deep purple Salvia nemorosa âCaradonnaâ punctuated by the vivid pink blooms of Papaver âPattyâs Plumâ.
A softer understorey of fresh greens from Hakonechloa, glaucous foliage from Hylotelephium and the cool white flowers of Astrantia âLarge Whiteâ provide contrast and texture, while the graceful Rosa âGentle Hermioneâ fills the garden with fragrance.
A garden that is continuing to evolve beautifully as the planting matures, creating a richly layered and immersive English country garden.
