Bright pink peonies are the showstoppers right now. Vivid purple lavender is beginning to come through as we speak, while foxgloves, delphiniums and lupins are shooting for the sky!

Next up: our wildflower borders will soon be in full bloom. The first of hundreds of ox-eye daisies are beginning to appear, so watch this space over the next week or so! 🌸
