Marg S. Spring Garden.

Marg's Spring Garden.

Cyclamen persicum 2 or 3 corms in a large terracotta pot.

Trillium chloropetalum above and below. Marg started out with one shoot 4 years ago now she has 4 noses coming up and is very excited at how plants that are difficult to grow in the suburbs are growing so well for her. But as you can see, a lot work has gone into this soil over the last 4 years, large amounts of compost has been worked into the soil, sheep manure, beech leaves and pine needle duff has been spread around the Trilliums especially.
When E Gay Henderson from New Zealand came over to speak to us about growing Trilliums, she advocated to us about how important pine needle duff, the older the better, is to growing good Trilliums, and it certainly is working here in Marg's garden.

 Trillium rivale Purple Heart from Archibald seed, but as you can see doing extremely well for Marg in her beautifully prepared soil, not flowering fully yet but you can see what is going to open in the next week.

The Erythroniums and Anemones are growing like radishes so very happy.
