Flower of the Week


Convolvulus cneorum, or silverbush, June 2009

This is a plant which likes warm, dry conditions, and should be struggling here, but I've got this one through two winters in this pot, and it flowers quite prolifically. It's in the most sheltered part of the garden, and protected by reflected warmth from both the woodern deck on which it stands and the wall behind it. Unfortunately, the ophiopogon in the pot beside it is not thriving here, but it does better elsewhere.

This is very beautiful and I clearly must have it as it would grow so well on my hot dry bank where so many things just don't thrive. Have just caught up on your recent blogs having been away. Fab photos.
