“I’ve been thinking about what to plant for the new season.

It’s a thrill to see the first crocus or daffofill rise from the soil – but what about trying something different? I’m going to take Anne Swithinbank’s advice (page 28) and plant Scilla ‘Pink Giant’, a pretty-looking perennial that works well around the bases of trees and shrubs. Are you going to try something different for next season? If so, please write to us and share it with AG readers.”
