Planted 3rd March 2024

The soil here in Newbourne and the surrounding area is sandy, stony and low in nutrients.
 
Here we showcase some of the plants that should thrive in the dry conditions. The easiest way to garden is to work with the conditions you have!

Salvia sclarea var turkestanica (clary sage)
Teucrium Purple Tails
Echinops bannaticus Star Frost (globe thistle)
Echinops ruthenicus Platinum Blue (globe thistle)
Salvia forskaohlei (indigo woodland sage)
Eryngium planum Blue Cap (sea holly)
Phlomis tuberosa (jerusalem sage)
Ballota pseudodictamnus
Santolina rosmarinifolia (cotton lavender)
Origanum Herrenhausen (marjoram)

    About the garden

    The flower beds at Katie's Garden change at least once a year.  Some are showcases of our favourite plants, some are for us to trial new varieties, and some are for showing off plants with purposes.
