Trevor Harrison from Creake Plant Centre was the speaker at our October meeting and his subject, very appropriately, was ‘Late Autumn Colour’. As usual Trevor brought with him a range of plants to show us and this made his presentation more meaningful as there is nothing to beat seeing the plants themselves.

Salvias are a popular choice as they will flower from July through to the first frosts in early winter. They should not be cut back too hard when flowering finishes as they may not survive the winter but if pruning is left until the spring then they are as hardy as anything. ‘Hotlips’, ‘Amistad’ and ‘Phyllis’ Fallacy’ are three varieties to look out for. Salvias root easily from cuttings taken in July and August so it is possible to build up a good collection in a few years. Michaelmas daisies can be seen in many gardens and these days it is possible to buy varieties that are mildew resistant so one of the problems associated with them over the years can now be avoided. They are good for flower arranging which is a bonus. ‘Mt Everest’ is a white variety while ‘Alma Posh’ is a deep cerise. ‘Little Carlow’ and ‘Norman’s Jubilee’ are low growing, clump forming varieties for the front of the border. If you have moist conditions then Kaffir lilies are a good bet and these too are good for flower arranging. Continued on page 4...
