Marvellous May Plant Colours
Summary:
May brings a vibrant display of blooms, and among them, these four plants stand out.
Cornus alternifolia 'Argenta'
Known as the Variegated Pagoda Dogwood, this striking plant originates from Asia. Its name suggests a resemblance to a sacred Chinese tower, and it grows up to 3 meters (9 ft) tall with a spread of about 2 meters (6 ft). Soon, its elegant branches will showcase clusters of star-shaped yellowish-white flowers, followed by blue-black fruits. The bright green leaves, edged in yellow, transform into a reddish-purple in autumn. Perfect as a specimen shrub or small tree, it thrives in full sun and suits compact spaces beautifully. While it might require a special order from garden centers, it's worth the wait.
Kolkwitzia amabilis 'Pink Cloud'
Commonly called the Beauty Bush, this fast-growing shrub from China reaches up to 3 meters (9 ft) in height with a spread of approximately 2.5 meters (7-8 ft). Although not often seen in modern gardens, it's a true spectacle in bloom. For about three weeks, it flaunts masses of bell-shaped pink flowers with yellow throats, nestled among small, oval grey-green leaves on arching branches. It needs at least four hours of sunlight and thrives in limey or alkaline soil. Ideal as a specimen shrub or for the back of a bed, don't overlook this classic beauty.
Ribes sanguineum
Also known as the Flowering Currant, this American native shrub grows up to 3 meters (9 ft) both in height and spread. It’s frost hardy and currently adorned with pendulous reddish-pink flowers, resembling miniature grape clusters. The flowers and light green leaves are both scented, especially when crushed. Commonly used in mixed borders, it also fares well in urban areas thanks to its resistance to pollution. To enjoy indoors, cut flowering stems last about 6-10 days. Plant it in full to partial sun with adequate water for quick growth. Varieties like 'Pulborough Scarlet' and 'King Edward VII' are noteworthy.
Alyssum saxatile
Known as the Basket of Gold, this European clump-forming perennial stays compact at 20 cm (8 inches) high with a spread of about 30 cm (1 ft). Drought-tolerant and evergreen, it’s perfect for rockeries, paving cracks, or wall crevices. Expect vibrant yellow flower clusters for at least the next four weeks. It requires well-draining soil and a spot with at least four hours of sunlight daily. To attract butterflies, plant Alyssum clusters throughout your garden and enjoy the show.
May's floral variety never fails to inspire, offering a wealth of colors and scents to enhance any garden.
