Knifofia 'Moonstone'
The plant fair at the Garden House was a great success and we had some discussion about our new purchases and the fact that Vicky bought her first yellow plant a Knifofia. These plants are in the lily family and come from South Africa and don't have to be red. Good drainage is needed for these plants.

Activities in the garden this week:

  • Staking corn flowers and some of the ammi
  • Deadheading
  • Taking out opium poppies and planting dahlias, sunflowers, salvia, nasturtium, antirrhinum
  • Planing out runner beans
  • Planting a black stemmed hydrangea and fern in large pot in front garden
  • Planting more climbers
Some pictures from the garden:
