View full detailsCreate a summer garden you can enjoy
Choose summer garden plants with both the overall display and day-to-day care in mind. Compare flowering periods, mature sizes and growing requirements before combining plants in a border or container. Browse cottage garden plants for a relaxed flowering scheme, and look ahead to autumn colour to extend the season. At Newlands in Dublin, our horticultural team can help you choose plants and suitable planting essentials for your project.
Check eventual sizes and leave each plant room to develop.
Consider how you will water borders and containers during dry weather.
Combine plants with different flowering periods rather than relying on one moment of colour.
