Six on Saturday. May Favourites.
I missed my pretty species peony that bloomed whilst I was in France and ‘ Molly the Witch ’ had to cast her tour quite unseen but I am so happy I am back in sentence for beautifulPaeonia‘Julia Rose ’ . I know all paeony are beautiful but ‘ Julia Rose ’ is sensational . She is an Itoh peony which means she is intersectional ; that is a hybrid between a herbaceous and a tree diagram peony . As well as being lovely the flowers are spicily fragrant . I fuck the fresh green foliage too .
The flowers last for age and as they fade they take on shades of peach and emollient .
My giant lily , Cardiocrinum giganteumis going to flower this year and I shall certainly be showing off her gorgeous creamy fragrant trumpets . She still has some grow to do as finally the stems reach up to 3.5 metre . This giant of a plant comes from the Himalayas . Whilst I wait for the flowers I get to enjoy the adorable lustrous leaves looking dramatic under gorgeousRosa‘Scharlachglut ’ . In English this is called Scarlet Fire ’ and it is a good name for it as the magnanimous exclusive red flowers really do radiate . This can be turn as a lax bush or train as a climber . It has large urn form hips in the fall . I wish the gist of the scarlet bloom against my opprobrious shed .
Paeonia ‘Julia Rose’
I have several montana clematis growing up to hide the the horrifying hedge in the front but I have put my favouriteClematis montana‘Broughton Star ’ to climb up aCryptomeriawhich I had prune into a lollipop build . This tree grows in the back garden in front of the clandestine garden .
In front of the clematis isAcer palmatum‘Chitoseyama ’ which has splendid red leaves in autumn . To the right isEuphorbia melliferawhich has a few beloved perfumed flowers for the first clock time this year . The rosiness you’re able to see behind it in the private garden is getting over now and last yr I missed it entirely as I was in France . It is special to me as it was born in a previous garden when it was a nursery before my time . It is called ‘ Drinkstone Apricot ’ and I am very grateful to my lovely friend Anne , who was until of late propagator for Suffolk Plant Heritage . She develop this flora which I no longer had . It is a beautiful climbing come up and full of bloom of youth . It is ahead of time bloom and much of it has already go over . But there are still some beautiful flowers to show you . It is a shame that this fabulous rose is not usable commercially .
As gardeners we all have to adjust to name changes , and I do n’t know why hebes are not hebes any longer . But my next plant never really look much like a hebe anyway . Hebe hulkeanais nowVeronica hulkeana . It stays as stunningly beautiful as ever whatever it is called . This beauty comes from New Zealand and ask plenty of sun . It is quite a sprawling shrub with pocket-sized shiny leaves . The lilac blossom grow in foresightful dainty racemes . A stale winter can bolt down this plant life so it is always sensible to keep a few cuttings going .
Paeonia ‘Julia Rose’
Parahebe perfoliatanow has nothing to do with Hebe , para or otherwise . It is also a veronica . Veronica perfoliatahas glaucous leaves that wrap around the shank like that of a puerile eucalyptus . When it has flower you’re able to hack it down and get more blush later in the time of year . The racemes of violet flower are just open here and they are very pretty .
So those are my six today , well seven really , but I sneakily putRosa‘Scharlachglut ’ in with a software system with the Himalayan lily which is n’t in bloom yet so does n’t deserve its own slot . Anyway , I could n’t show you the lily without you see the rose and it would be underbred to ignore it . In fact it would be insufferable to disregard it , it light up up this part of the garden with its vivid flowers .
As common Six on Saturday is hosted by Jim atPlant Ruminationsand I am sure there is wad of interest to see there and in all the garden of everyone who participates . May is the calendar month which just keeps on giving .
