Plant of the month
Each month we showcase a plant from the gardens.
Camellia 'Winton'
This shrub is a delight in mid-winter, skirting the path parallel to the main path leading up to the fountain, in the Award of Garden Merit Border.
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.
