RED…
Add the energy and passion of scarlet and crimson shades. In the middle of the border, make room for the letterbox red flowers of the dahlia ‘Bishop of Llandaf f’ and the bergamot (Monarda) ‘Gardenview Scarlet’, which has flowers that resemble punk heads of red hair. Both provide nectar for bees. The must-have montbretia (Crocosmia) ‘Hellfire’ produces ruby blooms on dark 1m stems and the 60cm crimson flag lily (Hesperantha) ’Major’ has stunning, silky red flowers.
