The brief from my client was to design the planting so it complimented the 1930’s style house.  This meant a minimalist design using just four different types of plants and a restricted colour palette of grey, silver, soft purples and dark green.

I chose Lavandula augustifolia ‘Munstead’ to be shaped into soft balls and to provide scent, Convovulus cneorum for its lovely evergreen silver foliage and late summer white flowers, Eryngium ‘Blue Hobbit’ for structure and bee loving silvery-blue flowers and finally Stachy byzantina ‘Silver Carpet’ for ground cover.
