The rill, which runs right through the walled garden of this stunning outdoor space, gives the space a sense of order. In the bed at the end, an abundance of lime-green Alchemilla mollis bloom from June to September.
Bright flowers
Fiery-red Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty' makes a bold contrast to a border of lime-green Euphorbia seguieriana and purple aromatic Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant'.
Structured borders
Allium giganteum gives structure to the garden borders, while Sedum 'Purple Emperor' and daisy-like Anthemis 'E C Buxton' add interest at a lower level.
Geranium
The perennial Geranium 'Rozanne' provides ground cover from early September.
Grasses
Compact Stipa tenuissima helps to link the garden with wild grasses in the meadow beyond.
Yew trees
Set in a chequerboard pattern, yew squares give sharp formality to the walled garden. Each corner is planted with Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea'.
Meadow
The wrought-iron screen provides security yet ensures an open view from the back of the house to the meadow.
