10. Message from Mark Vaughan at Gardeneer… “People, when purchasing shrubs for their gardens, seem to concentrate on the flowers the shrub will produce and I feel they are missing out on a major aspect of gardening - the contrast between shrubs, or, to put it more simply, how two or more plants will interact. This is something that I keep in the forefront of my mind when designing a garden for a client and I do not rely simply on the flowers of a shrub to give the "wow" factor in the garden; people forget that foliage is a major contributor of interest in any well planned garden. Unlike flowers, foliage is not transient and will last throughout the growing season and, in many cases, give you a stunning autumn display.So, my advice is, when purchasing shrubs at your local garden centre or nursery, always think about what will enhance the flowering display of any shrub or herbaceous plant you may be considering.” http://www.gardeneer.com
