Here,I’m showing how toplant out summer flower beds withbright annuals and bedding plants.I’m also sowing ‘10-week stocks’(p13), and taking cuttings of alpineflowers (p6). Meanwhile, Ruth islooking at how to get the best frombig, beautiful and blowsy begonias(p8/9), and explaining why now isour last chance to plant summer-flowering bulbs for this year(p10). With all this, and your freepeony-flowered poppies this week,you have absolutely no excuse,whatsoever, for a garden that ismore ‘duller’ than colour!With AG eperts Graham Clarke and Ruth HayeweekWtop tipWhen buying your beddingplants, go for plants with few(or no) flowers – if they arealready blooming you’ll havemissed some of theirpotential, and you couldbe paying a premiumfor them.AG’SACTING GARDENING EDITORGraham ClarkePRIZE DRAWGRO-SURE PlantingMagic can be used withall types of plants.

So those of us whohave been resisting tender bedding plantsin garden centre aisles, or patientlygrowing them in our own greenhouses,WestlandMcan now give in to temptation and fill ourbeds and borders with potential colour.I’m thinking of things like petunias, andpelargoniums, and lobelia, and salvias, andageratum, and marigolds…and the dozensof others types of plant we refer to simplyas ‘summer bedding’.4AMATEUR GARDENING16 MAY 2015THE STRONGEST flower shades come from the primary colours(red, blue and yellow), followed by the secondary colours(green, purple and orange). Personal taste will dictate whichshades you opt for. Generally, these colours give a strikingborder with a ‘hot’ feel (below).Pastel colours (pinks, creams, pale blues, lavenders, and so on)first became popular in the 1970s, and they never really wentaway (right).It can be nice to see an occasional or well-placed plant of astronger colour, known as an ‘accent’ plant.Then there are those gardeners who just prefer an explosionof colour – and the greater the number of different colours thebetter. Known as the ‘fruit salad effect’, it works well in an old-style cottage garden, and in small beds or borders.Primary colours (red, blue and yellow)tend to give flowerbeds a ‘hot’ feelColour themesCreams, pinks, lilacs, pales bluesand silvers give a ‘pastel’ effectGraham Clarke NPIn a sea of purple heliotrope, this silvercentaurea is known as an ‘accent’ plantStep by StepPlanting summer bedding1Plugs (individual small plantsusually encircled by labels) arecheap. Potted singles, and packsof six plants, are more expensive.Dig over the bed and weed it.Firm it, rake it, and sprinkle afew handsful of a general fertiliser,such as Growmore over the area.2After your bedding plants havebeen properly hardened off(AG 2 May issue), they are ready tobe planted. Water them first.34Take a plant out of its pot (orpack module) and examine theroots. If they are congested, loosenthem a little with your fingers.Place the plants in thepositions you intend to plantthem. Stand back and see if theyneed to be re-sited for best effect.5With a trowel, take out a holeand set the plant in it. Firm itwith your fingers; gently tug a leaf– if the plant lifts, firm it more.67Water the plants in – importantas the soil can be dry at thistime of year. Check for drynessoften, and water when necessary.Taller plants, such as cosmos,will benefit from being givensome support. Brushwood (such asfrom birch trees) looks natural.816 MAY 2015AMATEUR GARDENING5 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
