What's Looking Good In May 2022

Looking fabulous @Perki . The bog garden project is interesting.

 

Looking good @Perki i love candelabra primula, Monty Don had some on gardener's world.

 

@Perki isn't darmera supposed to be a thug??? And what are the reddish leaves at the back of your raised veg box please?

 

My FIRST EVER Magnolia. I have never grown Magnolias before and this was planted last year.

 

They are just phormiums the reddish one is evening glow and the other jester . I've not grown Darmera before so unsure, but I am not to bothered as long as it doesn't take up the whole space , they is a public footpath just off to the right. The whole plot isn't my land its a garage site my garden is about 20ft left of that garage.

 

@Logan I used to have quite a lot of primula candelabra but I lost them all in the hot summer of 2017 , nice plants pulverulentra is my favourite .

Allium scabriscapum a different allium from the Zagros mountains of Iran, it has rhizomes rather than bulbs and must be kept bone dry over the summer.
