Dressed in white
Throughout spring and summer, the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace – once home to Diana, Princess of Wales, who died 20 years ago this year – will get a white makeover to celebrate Diana’s life. Spring planting includes Fritillaria persica ‘Alba’, Narcissus‘ Petrel’, and tulips ‘Diana’, ‘Spring Green’ and ‘Purissima’ emerging through a swathe of white forget-menots. In summer, pots of white roses will surround the reflective pool and beds will be filled with lilies, gladioli, cosmos and gaura. The planting will complement the current exhibition Diana: Her Fashion Story, which runs at Kensington Palace until 28 February 2018. hrp.org.uk
