Peach is just such an easy colour to integrate with other plants, looking effortlessly romantic and pretty in all sorts of different schemes. Try it with creamy whites and silver foliage plants, creating the look of the most romantic wedding bouquet in your border. If that’s too pale and pastel for you, it can easily be livened up by adding a few spots of brighter purple or opulent maroon to the mix.

These vivid, fiery flowers will definitely grab your attention, which is why it pays to think about where you plant them and what with. Team them with yellows and oranges and you’ll create a ‘hot’ border of warm tones. At Coughton Court in Warwickshire, scarlet ‘Kung Fu’ dahlias are teamed with orange Canna ‘Wyoming’, yellow Kniphofia ‘Wrexham Buttercup’ and Helianthus ‘Lemon Queen’ in the garden’s renowned Hot Borders.

“People think the only things that grow in shade are hostas and ferns,” she adds, but a quick glance at one of her RHS Chelsea Flower Show displays of shade-loving plants will dispel that myth. “I want to inspire show visitors and let them see what’s possible,” she continues. Her Chelsea exhibit is divided into four sections covering different types of shade: full shade and dry soil, partial shade and dry soil, full shade and moist soil, and partial shade with moist soil.

It’s been 30 years since a group of garden owners in Cornwall got together to form The Great Gardens of Cornwall to better promote this collective of the county’s best gardens to visit. Not that garden lovers need much encouragement to head to Cornwall to get their fix of gorgeous plants. Towering cordylines, groves of tree ferns, hydrangeas weighed down by clusters of pink and blue blooms, spires of echiums... these are the plants that spring to mind whenever anyone says ‘Cornish garden’.

They’re a hardy annual, which means you can sow them in autumn or during spring. Sow in autumn (August to October) and they’ll germinate and then over-winter as small seedlings, in position and ready to grow as soon as the temperature warms up in spring, giving you earlier flowers. Those sown in spring will flower later in summer. You can sow from March to May for flowers the same year.
