REETH COMMUNITY ORCHARD

The undoubted stars of the Conservatory Border in June are the tall stems and nodding heads of allium. In keeping with the mauve and purple colour scheme, Poppy ‘Patty’s Plum’ plus a pure pink one appear next, with  echinops ( Globe Thistle), pink sidalcea, lavenders ‘Hidcote’ and ‘Munster’, potentilla ‘Monarch’s Velvet’, and the fascinating froth of thalictrum aquilegifolium.
