8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden
Nick Hamilton owner of
Tricyrtis
A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'.
Penstemon
I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes.
Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata'
With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it
will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade.
Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue'
A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your
garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period.
Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem'
If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers.
Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange'
A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days.
Rosa 'Noisette Carnee'
A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November.
Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel'
I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade.
A third commented: 'I need some!'
Meanwhile, someone else beamed: "They'll grow back every year.'
At the same time, another gardening enthusiast wrote: 'How pretty.'
While another user thought the lilies looked 'gorgeous', she also shared a stern warning for cat owners, as she advised: 'Don't forget to cut the stamen out so you don't poison your kitties.'

Taking solstice: nine ways to wear day dresses on the summer's longest day
It's the longest day of the year on Saturday. No better time to make the most of the daylight and, while you're at it, your favourite day dress. You know the one. The go-to gúna that spends more time on your body than on its hanger. The one with a cost-per-wear ratio so — you owe it money. Soon the long nights and chilly temperatures will return, and you'll be brainstorming ways to layer a tea dress that don't involve Grey Gardens cosplay. Embrace the height of summer and while we're here, let's find you a new wardrobe hero. The message here is one-and-done. With sunshine at a premium, time is not to be wasted. Add a pair of flat or heeled sandals, sunglasses, and a raffia bag to any of these looks and you're good to go. Similarly, look to colour and shape to do the heavy lifting. Penneys clearly understood the assignment with puff sleeves and ruffled V-neck maxi dresses in bright green and red. Whether pointelle or cotton, the result is easy and breezy. Ditto for & Other Stories and COS; their t-shirt and flounced iterations make laid-back look lovely. Dressed to impress? You will be in Clare O'Connor's silk shift with its painterly print and - wait for it - pockets. Equally, Sinead Keary's linen mini (a.k.a. The Marykate) wins big with its detachable shoulder bow ties for days of quiet luxury. As for me? Since visiting RIXO at Kildare Village, I've acquired a life-size crush on their 'Raven' midi dress. Can I take this into winter? No better time to test my theory.

Many people have donned their fanciest maxi dresses for the racing extravaganza. It's no wonder people have dressed to the nines for the occasion, as each year the royal family flocks to Ascot to witness the action. It was announced, however, that the Princess of Wales has pulled out of Royal Ascot as she continues her cancer recovery. More on Royal Ascot It is understood the Kate, 43, was previously listed by Royal Ascot as arriving in the carriage procession with Prince William - who is still attending. She attended Trooping the Colour and Order of the Garter in recent days plus a visit to V&A East Storehouse last week. While Kate has skipped Ascot, her mum Carole Middleton is in attendance, with daughter-in-law Alizée Thevenet, who is married to Kate's brother James. Most read in Horse Racing A number of celebrities have been seen at the Berkshire racecourse, including Made In Chelsea alum Today she wore a cream CHATS by maxi dress and a red Awon Golding Millinery hat. The best Ladies' Day headpieces The Royal Ascot dress code varies across different enclosures, with the Royal Enclosure asking guests to stick to top hats and tails for the men. Women must wear a dress or skirt falling just above the knee or longer, with shoulder straps a minimum width of 1 inch and hats are compulsory. The Queen Anne Enclosure offers a more relaxed dress code, while the Windsor Enclosure is the most relaxed, with no formal dress code but smart attire is encouraged. Royal Ascot was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne who, when riding out from Windsor Castle, came across a piece of land 'ideal for horses to gallop at full stretch' and thus Ascot Racecourse was born. 24 Lady Victoria Hervey also opted for a floral dress at the racecourse Credit: Getty 24 Guests appeared in high spirits as they arrived at Royal Ascot Credit: PA The first Royal Meeting took place at Ascot in 1768 and it is now Britain's most popular race meeting, welcoming in excess of 250,000 racegoers across five days. Each morning the gates open at 10.30am each day, ready for the anticipated first race which kicks off at 2.30pm. There are then seven races throughout the day, the last of which commencing at 6.10pm. And, of course, 2pm on each day of racing is the royal procession. As well as the racing, there's also lots of other things for the lucky guests to enjoy. It's predicted that the fine dining curated by 350 chefs will serve up 220,000 hand-crafted afternoon tea cakes, 7,300 Angus steaks and 3,000 kilos of salmon over the five days. What's more, the Royal Meeting will also serve 220,000 finger sandwiches and 10,000 punnets of mixed berries. In the Queen Anne Enclosure, guests are able to tuck into mouthwatering steaks at 1768 Grill by Argentinian restaurant Gaucho. On the drinks front, 65,000 bottles of Champagne and 100,000 bottles of wine are expected to be consumed. In 2023, approximately 400 helicopters and 1,000 limousines descended on Royal Ascot, with an average of 60,000 racegoers each day. /ascot
