Lilies for every garden
Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are glorious
and rewarding additions to the garden with all the splendour of lilies but
none of the problems with lily beetle. With nearly 2,500 varieties
available in the UK choice can be bewildering. This event takes you
through the range of daylilies available and helps you select varieties
that will suit the British climate. Martin will give you proven methods
for successful growing. Then take a tour through our garden where we have
hundreds of varieties growing and for sale in our plant nursery. |
| August 12 Heleniums and other late summer
flowers
Our National Collection of Heleniums
provides the centrepiece for this talk with sizzling colour and a
fascinating insight into the cultivation and history of these brilliant
flowers. We will also cover other late summer flowers like Rudbeckia,
Aster and Boltonia. Then come into our garden and see the stunning array
of August bloom and listen to the contented buzz of bees. Probably the
world's largest range of Heleniums will be on sale in our plant nursery.

| September 9 -
Late bloomers to extend the season
We all want to extend our season of
flower beyond midsummer and into autumn. This talk recommends some of the
proven autumn performers from our garden. The garden tour gives practical
advice on how make use of grasses and seed heads to complement the late
bloomers. |
