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.

See inside the Clare home with private access to the River Shannon on the market for €1.6m

Moys House in the Clarisford area, just off the R496 Killaloe Bypass, is located on approximately 2.35 acres of landscaped gardens and is just a short walk from Killaloe town. Brought to the market by Sherry FitzGerald Talbot, the seven-bedroom residence extends to approximately 594 sqm and also includes a private gym. Three bedrooms are located downstairs, with the remainder on the upper level. The master bedroom features a beam ceiling, an Italian-designed en-suite with walk-in shower, and a dressing room that leads via spiral staircase to a unique tower snug. The elegant country home combines 'generous' proportions with bespoke finishes and private access via a large jetty to the River Shannon. The interior of the house is finished with French and pitch pine flooring, vaulted beam ceilings, and Indian slate. A gravel footpath weaves through the gardens and woodlands of the house, with the outdoor spaces complemented by decked terraces, a well-maintained vegetable garden and a mix of shrubbery. The house itself opens with a split-level entrance that leads to a drawing room and dining room, both with solid pitch pine floor. A kitchen and adjoining snug area form the 'heart of the home' on the ground level. The area is finished with oak-effect flooring and looks across the tennis court, landscaped grounds, and river beyond. A Mediterranean-style courtyard is accessible via the kitchen and features terracotta tiles and ample space for dining al fresco. Located off the master bedroom via a spiral staircase, the eye-catching tower snug retreat features eight windows to view the surrounding countryside, with the listing stating that the snug could be suitably used as a private painting studio or observatory. The lower-ground level includes a spacious gym with several machines and weights as well as a swim in place pool. These facilities, combined with the tennis court, make the house an ideal choice for fitness enthusiasts. The property itself is well located with easy access to Limerick city (17km) and Shannon Airport (44km). Another major draw is the house's easy access to other major towns and cities, including Nenagh (25km), Ennis (40km) and Galway city (60km).
