A Vibrant Splash Of Colour From Tulips And Wallflowers


A Cross Of Seven Oak Planters, 28th September 2017

Seven months have past since the oak planter display was changed from summer to winter, see blog entry for the 28th September 2017 'Seven Oak Planters In The Form Of A Cross'
The plants used to create the winter display are:
Small planter x 2, Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price' (1/4 Standard), Phormium tenax 'Verneer' (New Zealand Flax) and Wallflower 'Sunset Orange'.
Medium planter x 3, Ilex aquifolium 'Argentea Marginata' (1/2 Standard, Silver Margined Holly), Ilex x altaclerensis 'Camelliifolia' (Highclere Holly) and Wallflower 'Sunset Orange'.
Large planter x 1, Laurus nobilis (Bay), Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Webb' and Wallflower 'Sunset Orange'.
Tulips in all planters: A mix of Tulipa 'Antraciet', Tulipa 'Blue Diamond' and Tulipa 'Orange Princess', magenta, purple and orange respectively.
As the tulips now start to fade the display will soon be changed again for this summer but over the last month the mix of tulips and wallflowers have given such a bold, vibrant splash of colour beneath the evergreen shrubs. The team have loved this combination of colours and it has received many favourable comments from visitors, staff and alumni.
