8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden
Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots.
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.

There were 169 Indian nationals, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese nationals and one Canadian on the flight. Patel told those gathered at the event that the siblings' father, Arjun Patoliya, had flown to Gujarat to scatter his wife Bharti's ashes following her was returning home to his daughters, aged four and eight, when the plane went down. "The saddest incident we have got here in Harrow is one parent had already died here because of cancer," Patel said."The husband went to do the rituals in India and coming back, he was on board. He has left two little girls behind and the girls are now orphans."I really hope that those girls will be looked after by all of us."She added: "Caring is the most that we can do at this hour."We don't have any words to describe how the families and friends must be feeling, so what we can do is pray for them."She also revealed how her sister-in-law's cousin had been killed in the crash. Local councillors, a local MP and residents packed into the temple for the ceremony, which included emotional tributes, candle lighting and a message of condolence from the Blackman, MP for Harrow East, said it was believed to be the highest number of British deaths ever recorded in a plane crash, with 53 UK nationals on board."When someone dies in illness or old age, we celebrate their lives," he said. "But when an air crash happens - completely unpredictable - people are taken away from us immediately, just like that."We think of all those families sitting by the telephone, wondering if their loved ones were actually on the plane."He said the Gujarati community in the UK was deeply affected, with victims having links to Harrow, Leicester, Birmingham and added: "The difficulty the authorities have already got is: who are they visiting? Which family members were they coming to see in the UK?" Councillor Hitesh Karia, who represents Pinner South ward and is a member of the temple's congregation, also shared the impact of the said: "It's nice that the local community can come together - the local support means a lot."Twenty devotees that come here have sadly lost their lives."It shows there is a solidarity, and despite the high amount of diversity, we can come together when appropriate."The vigil was led by Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji, who said he knew 20 of the victims in the hall quietly wept as candles were lit by representatives from the Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities."The only feeling left is sadness - we can't do any more," Mr Guruji said.
