The Flower Garden near the Orchid House is laid out with beds of flowering annual and perennials. |
Her favourite perennials are lilies which put on a show of colour before the annuals get into full swing. |
The layout is symmetrical and orderly, which contrasts with the cottagey jumble of perennials and bulbs within the four rectangular beds. |
One group of plants that stands out conspicuously are those lofty and lanky woody perennials, the trees and shrubs. |
My worst weeds are the perennials that spread with runners, like quack grass. |
If you're brave enough to plant perennials and annuals now, give them extra attention until roots take a strong hold. |
