Plant of the Day
Saturday 18 August 2018

In the walk around the perimeter of Scampston contemporary Walled Garden, Yorkshire, by the Dutch plantsman, Piet Oudolf, was a great walk of unusual plant species created and cared for by Paul Smith, Head Gardener. This included Syneilesis aconitifolia (shredded umbrella plant) a rhizomatous, deciduous perennial with erect stems of small, pale lilac flowers which looked great with the purple foliage of Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ (redbud).
