Cheryll’s four free-draining favourites

Alliums

Early summer staples for the wildlifefriendly cottage garden, alliums love a sunny spot in well-drained soil.

Rosemary

Evergreen, bee-friendly herb with aromatic, spiky leaves. Easy to grow in a sunny herb garden or container.

Senecio ‘Angel Wings’

Cheryll’s new favourite plant stays put all year with large, soft, velvety, silver leaves. Likes warm sun.
