Planting Suggestions
Watching our nursery plants grow year on year, we often think about which ones would combine well both structurally as well as when they flower. Indeed many of our plants have ended up in our own gardens, so we wanted to share our own experiences of what works well together and provide some planting suggestions. We would love to hear your thoughts as well!
Anemone and Erythronium
The tiny, exquisite flowers of our Anemone provide the perfect canvas from which the tall elegance of our Erythronium can emerge from. Both enjoy the dappled shade created by hedges and early spring trees and can be planted together.
Here are four combinations of planting suggestions that we believe work really well together, as well providing a great succession of planting.
These are all available to pre-order now as bulbs and rhizomes, and will be dispatched from 1st July 2023. Select each plant below to check on stock availability.
