Just putting the finishing touches on the design of a very small but lovely back garden in Islington. The brief is to stick to a year round colour palette of purple and white – hues thereof. Thank goodness for Anemone blanda, a bulb which will provide a wonderful carpet of early delicate blues and purples in March to be followed by lots of Greater stitchwort, Germander speedwells and Muscari before the herbaceous perennials of pop back into life…who says early Spring has to be mellow yellow – with this design we say bring out the purple haze!
