Green is godly

The dying embers of the Piet Oudolf planting at RHS Wisley

Oudolf upholds that plant selection should be based not only for how they look in their prime but for the way they die, also.

These Alliums and Sea Holly hold their shape all through Autumn and well into Winter gloriously.

Winning Foliage At Kew

I often find Kew a bit manicured for my tastes but it always impresses nevertheless.  

Spotted this fantastic foliage on my 5th October visit.

The large leaves need tropical environment but the zebra Miscanthus and Fatsa japonica could easily be replicated in a home garden.

Gravel garden planting completed this morning. I love the colours our client has chosen.  My favourite here is the Solanum 'Venus', which I would not have have picked out myself in a nursery but it works so well adjacent to the rocks here.
