CDfolia's A's Enkianthus garden
Garden Type: Border | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: None | Established: 2009 | Organic

Thin ericaceous border. Mostly bulbs and shrubs against a wall with an old Cotoneaster horizontallis trained like a strange windblown standard up the wall. The Enkianthus is a fave and several heathers grow low amongst the small pieris, rhodo, skimmia and acer. An old buddlia is there too in entirely the wrong place but we never have the heart to remove it because the butterflies feed right in front of the window in summer – wonderful. So, unsurprisngly, I am pruning it regularly to keep it roughly as a standard. Gives less blooms but means we can get along the path without having an eye poked out.
An outdoor organic garden located in Loanhead, United Kingdom, CDfolia's A's Enkianthus garden currently contains 37 plants.
This is a Border garden that is known to be in USDA Hardiness Zone 8b. It has mainly None soil and receives Partial Sun light.Photos
