plants in thegarden this year have benefited. Growth is strong, the leaves are looking lush and strong displays of flowers are being produced as well. However if your garden is looking a little green, let’s have alook at what can be planted to help get that spar­ kle back. Summer flowering peren­ nials are the main group of plants that pack a punch in the summer, starting off with Astilbes which bear pink, white, red or purple flowers they compliment any sunny or shady corner. Also they are great for damp places. Now to encourage regular blooming divide up and re­ plant in the spring to encour- agevigour. Also, in my opinion, they look at their best when you get a selection of shades together


Make your garden sparkle W


ith summer in full swing you really can see how much the


for example a red next to a white which help compli­ ment each other. Crocosmias come in a range of hotter colours of red, orange and yellow and can be seen in flower on our roundabout in Clitheroe. Don’t judge them by the well known weedy Montbretia, as the named varieties are very free flowering. Crocosmia Rowallane is a firm favourite with sprays of golden yellow flowers held in a similar fashion to another well known variety,Lucifer, with its tall displays of scar­ let red flowers. Give them a sunny location and a well drained soil, again thinning out and replanting after four years, also replant Lucifercorms six inches deep to prevent it flopping over. Achilleas are well known for their showy displays of pin' cushion-like flowers coming in all the colours of the rain­ bow except blue. Trim down after flowering and feed with tomorite for repeat blooming in Autumn. A great companion plant for Achilleas would be the Mon- ardas. Commonly known as Bergamot, they are used to make Earl Grey tea. As well


as having scented foliage the flowers are great for attract­ ing bees into the garden. Coming in all shades of red, white, purple and pink, they flower up to the end of Au­ gust and really look dramatic. with their pom-pom like whorls offlowers on upright


stems. With a similar range of colours to Monardas are the Border Phlox. They’re really easy to grow and again have a scented flower so are a great attraction for bees. With all of these plants above now is an ideal time to plant for the fact that you can lay­


out your summer garden' without having to try and vis­ ualise it all in the Spring. As well as being able to get some great plant combinations go­ ing you will know that they flower together as they will be in bloom when you plant them!

Q & A


HERE YOU CAN SEND IN AND FIND OUTTHE ANSWERS TO ANY GARDENING PROBLEMS


HOWDOIGETMORE FLOWERS ON ASTILBES? Astilbes thrive on being divided and replanted every 3-4 years for the fact that this keeps the


juvenilevigour going. If not you will find the flowers may shrink and they won’t look as showy as they did in earlieryears. When replanting, dosoin thespringand replant the edge pieces of the clump, as these are the youngest end most vigorous


pieces, anddiscard the old woody centre.

weeds is crucial to keeping the garden tidy. One year's seeding is seven years weeding, so bits

whether it is moist enough. 4 - Deadhead bedding plants Deadhead these regularly


as soon as the flowers begin to fade, especially Pelargoniums, as this helps the plant to put more energy into producing lots of flower instead of producing seeds. It also keeps the plants flowering for longer. 5-Trim Hedges Give hedges a clip over to


help keep them in shape; it will also help encourage a denser hedge. You can shred the clip­ pings, so they can then be com­ posted and used on the garden next spring to help enrich and feed the soil.


To keep roses blooming for the longest period possible, it is key todeadheadtheold flowers. This stops the plant putting energy into trying to produce seed and _ therefore produces more flow- ®
