This multi-stem tree is selected as it actively encourages wildlife into the garden while also providing interest all year around.
This loose forming decorative grass is chosen because in the scheme it creates a ‘fuzz’ within the beds.
This vigorous, woody climber is selected for its evergreen coverage and delicate white flower that bring a range of senses within the garden.
A tall herbaceous perennial with erect, branching stems, verbena is chosen to bring loose colourful height into the garden. Its lilac-purple flowers are also a good nectar source for bees in the space.
This plant forms a compact clump of pinnate leaves with rounded or oblong leaflets, and maroon flowers in dense spikes. Paired perfectly with Stipa sanguisorba, it adds a contrast of colour into the garden.
