The White collection

Classic and classy collection of plants with white flowers or silver foliage - best appreciated by the light of the moon. For added character, plant spring and summer flowering scented bulbs such as Lilium regale (Madonnna lily) or white flowering Narcissus (check out our bulbs). These plants thrive best in rich, well-drained soil in sun or light shade. We have covered all the seasons,starting in spring with Iberis and Aqulegia, going through to autum with Anemone and Schizostylis.


Planting and maintenance:

All these plants, except for Astelia, Iberis and Convolvulus, are flowering perennials, and should be cut back or tidied up when the foliage dies down at the end of the year. Astelia should be left untouched, except for the removal of the occasional dead leaf. Convolvulus and Iberis should also be left to its own devices. These three plants in particular do not tolerate water-logged conditions. Iberis and Convolvulus are ideal for the front of a border, or spilling over paths or walls. If there is a wetter spot in your garden, Zantedeschia and Schizostylis will cope quite well in this environment, though this isn't a requirement. A top-dressing on the soil of well-rotted manure or leaf mould would be of benefit to the soil. Water well after planting and throughout dry spells in the first year.

All planting schemes come with a planting list, planting instructions and ongoing maintenance advice.
