Don't force a sun-lover into the shade just because it matches your furniture. ☀️🚫

Respect the biology of the flower. 6 hours of direct sun means direct sun. If you want them to thrive, put them where they want to be, not just where you want to see them.

Astrantia ‘major rubra’. www.walnutkitchengarden.co.uk

This Astrantia, I think ‘major rubra’, has never been happy where I put it. So, it now has a new home in the recently revamped hosta bed, & it’s rewarded me with a second flush 🌿🌺🌿

After multiple attempts, I finally grew a clematis vine. I must not have tried the correct locations before. #rightplantrightplace #bloomscrolling

One of the most reassuring things is a perennial planted last year coming back and looking better than before 🌱 Happy weekend! #rightplantrightplace

I just 💚the BBC UK program "Love your garden". So inspiring & so many heartwarming moments. Does seem odd though, to hear them describing "native plants support wildlife" which out here in Oz, are imported environmental WEEDS 😁 #GardensForWildlife #RightPlantRightPlace #Nature #LoveYourGarden #BBC
