More about this episode
While many garden plants have struggled for survival this summer, one which has truly thrived is the Lantana. Horticulturist David Hurrion, one of the judges of last year’s Lantana RHS Plant Trial at RHS Garden Wisley in Surrey, joins us to share his takeaways on growing these eye-poppingly colourful bedding plants, and some of the standout cultivars.
Deadheading is a practice key to ensuring repeat blooms throughout the summer, and RHS Horticultural Advisor Nick Turrell shows us how to do it properly. Finally, as we enter autumn, we’re kickstarting our bulb of the week series with horticulturist Gemma Burr, who shares some favourite coronet tulips from another recent
RHS Plant Trial. Plus, answers to listener questions on bay trees, lawns from seed and
Salvia ‘Hot Lips’.
