Plant of the month
Each month we showcase a plant from the gardens.
Juniperus coxii
Juniperus coxii makes a very ornamental, graceful little tree of pendulous bright green leaves in whorls of three, with reddish, shredding bark.
As you walk towards the Pavilions from the fountain end of the Broadwalk you cannot fail to notice on the left, Salvia uliginosa or ‘Bog sage’ with its electric clear sky-blue flowers.
This is a robust, clump forming herbaceous perennial, preferring a south facing sheltered and sunny site with a reasonably rich moist soil, of which it would have traditionally been said, should not dry out in summer, however, it has survived this summer very well.
