A bit of sun today, so had a short stroll round the garden to see what's been going on. (Still shaky from the flu) Amazingly, quite a bit seems to have weathered the terrible winter conditions. I didn't 'cut back' much last autumn but left dead and dying twigs & branches in place, which has protected the new growth. Put in some flax plants last season, (gorgeous china blue delicate flowers) and I can see they're still alive and kicking under the dead stems. Ditto the Achillea and various strappy grasses. This year I want to plant Gaura (so delicate and wavy in the breeze), nepeta (ditto) and WHITE nerine bulbs. I can't stand the chewing gum pink varieties, but the white ones are unusual and rather nice. Trouble is, nerines are moody things, they either like you or they don't! Hope they will like me! Any info on best planting positions for them? ie shade or sun, drained or moist etc?
