At the nursery with Billy and Gillenia trifoliata.
A plant with red stems and light flowers that dance on the breeze. It likes a bit of moisture in the soil and light shade so that it doesn’t get scorched by the midday sun.
For more perennials, shrubs, trees and hardy annuals follow along or visit @stottsnursery #plantnursery #chilterns #gilleniatrifoliata
At the nursery with Billy and Dianthus ‘Mrs Sinkins.’
An old-fashioned pink or carnation with a sweet, clovey scent that wafts around on the breeze. It likes full sun and well-drained soil so it’s perfect for a pot.

We`re at the Chinnor Village Hall, Friends of the Earth Thame Green Living Fair today. @chinnoropengardens is also on this weekend, with lots of gardens open!
Flowering now, this speedwell Veronica ‘Shirley Blue’ is great for bringing bees and butterflies into the garden.
A mat-forming herbaceous perennial, it will grow to around about a foot to a foot and a half.

These are varieties of Salvia nemorosa. They have spires of flowers that bloom for weeks on end from early summer. Perfect for our lovely bee visitors!
Too striking and beautiful not to share again!
Siberian type Irises are clump-forming with narrow leaves. They like a moist soil and full sun, and can be planted in a mixed border as they don’t have a rhizome that needs to be baked. (Some types, including the Bearded Iris, need well-drained soil and have a rhizome which needs to be baked).
The Siberian type varieties that we grow at @stottsnursery include Caesar’s Brother, Sparkling Rose, Summer Sky, Perry’s Blue, Yellow Tail, Tamberg and I. chrysographes.
Pictured here are Iris ‘Tamberg’, Iris ‘ Summer Sky’ and Iris ‘Perry’s Blue’

The bees are loving this Geranium phaeum `Lily Lovell`! Excuse the wonky videography🤣
Phlox divaricata ‘Blue Moon’
This is a low growing, shade loving phlox which flowers over several weeks from early Spring. The blue flowers pump out a delicious perfume and the stems are slightly hairy.
It likes dappled shade, in a soil with a little moisture.

Silene flos-cuculi ‘White Robin’ (formerly Lychnis) aka Ragged Robin.
A white form of our native wildflower Ragged Robin, this plant likes a damp soil in full sun or partial shade. It often grows in ditches and damp hedgerows but is perfect for the garden too.
We’ll have some White Robins with us the @rareplantfair at Kingston Bagpuize this Sunday! Hopefully see you there!
