I remember the first time I saw a Dogwood in full flower. I was in the Royal Horticultural Society garden in Wisley England. I noticed it from a distance. It had so many flowers and you could not see the foliage.
There was nothing quite like it, I was in awe.
Pink Flowering dogwoods make a wonderful display of blooms in late spring, and rich autumn tints make this a spectacular specimen for a small garden. Flower heads have four pink petal-like bracts to 8cm across.
Prefers deep, fertile soil so add Pure Magic Compost when planting and fertilise with Azalea & Camellia Food.
Plant in a protected position. Dogwoods have shallow roots, and even with dappled shade, these root systems will dry quickly. Don’t skimp on the water through summer and mulch heavily.
Ideal for small gardens with mature dimensions 5m x 5m.

AWESOME ARTICHOKE A popular and easy to grow, thistle like perennial with edible flower buds. Growing to 1 – 1.5 metres in height and width, they make a stately feature and because they are perennial, a spot needs to be chosen that allows full advantage to be taken of the appearance of their graceful arching leaves. Buds grow on the ends of long flower stalks and may be green, bronze or purple according to the variety.
They love – like most veggies – a rich, well-drained soil. If you see their outer leaves drooping, it will be because of waterlogging in winter or drying out in hot summers. Plenty of compost in the soil is important in preventing both extremes as it helps drainage in winter and retains moisture in summer. So making sure the soil is prepared properly at planting time is vital for successful growth in subsequent years.
The first buds appear in early spring and continue through to early summer. Flower buds should be harvested before they open and when the stem below the bud is still pliable. That is, they should be in the shape of a globe (that’s where they get their name from!). To pick the buds use a sharp knife to cut the stem leaving a few centimetres of stalk attached.
