Great Comp Garden
Guest Author - Hellie T.

A seven acre garden in Kent, just full of perennials and shrubs.

Created over the last 40 years it gives the impression of being much older.
Take a look at the ruins that have been built which create an air of interest and intrigue.
If you have the space and the time - why not try this yourself – just an inkling of a little ruin hidden amongst a group of small evergreen shrubs will always surprise visitors!

To see the garden in bloom in June follow this link .
You can also view the garden in July, where you get an idea of the borders and plants.

Don’t forget to view the picture gallery and if you are interested in salvias there is a good selection of named varieties with their photos – it is always useful to see the name and color when choosing salvias for your garden as there are such a wide variety to chose from.

Salvias come in some beautiful blue shades, why not try one of these in your garden?

  • S. patens 'Cambridge Blue' - has bright blue flowers
  • S. pratensis or meadow clary – violet blue flowers

  • S. x sylvestris - 'Blaühugel' - pure blue flowers
  • S. uliginosa - has azure-blue flowers
  • S. verticillata has violet-blue flowers
  • Salvia guaranitica ‘Blue Enigma’ has deep blue flowers

      They all need protection from the frost and grow best in a sheltered sunny spot in well drained soil.
      For more info on Salvia patens in the borders at Wisley gardens click here

      Enjoy your garden
