Fresh!

One of the things I love at this time of the year is seeing all the new growth all over the garden. The new flush of growth, almost of them just looks so vibrant, so fresh!


Aesculus x neglecta 'Erythroblastos'
Kalopanax septemlobus
Daphniphyllum macropodum
Sambucus racemosa 'Sutherland Gold'
Akebia quinata
Veratrum nigrum
Schefflera digitata
Epimedium 'Purple Pixie'
Persicaria filiformis
Matteuccia struthiopteris and Cyrtomium falcatum
 
Dicksonia antarctica

Onoclea sensibilis
Some of the new growth will take on a darker shade of green later in the season but whilst they are much lighter and fresh looking at the moment it's great to enjoy them!

  1. You can't beat fresh, spring foliage! How do you like the Akebia? I've been thinking of trying to plant it somewhere, but wasn't sure if it had enough to offer.

    1. Indeed Alan :) I rate it highly, remaining lush almost all year round and reasonably vigorous. The white flowered form might appeal to you more, or the three leaved one which is Akebia trifoliata.

  2. I love the fresh new foliage of spring too. Yours all looks so bright and lovely and lush. And of course, your Veratrum nigrum (unlike mine) is completely perfect and un-nibbled on.

    1. I thought it would be best to take a pic of that veratrum before it gets nibbled on Alison :)

    1. The pink of the aesculus is starting to fade now Evan, but it was fun whilst it lasted :)
