🌸 Alan Titchmarsh’s Garden Showstopper Alert! 🌸
Looking to add a touch of spectacular to your garden this year? 🌿 Gardening guru Alan Titchmarsh has revealed his secret weapon for a jaw-dropping display – the magnificent delphinium, specifically the Highlander Bolero variety! These stunners can reach a towering height of 7-8 feet with gorgeous spires of flowers. Talk about a floral statement! 🎉
But wait, the King’s in on the secret too! King Charles counts these beauties as his favourites. With such royal recognition, it’s no wonder they’re the stars of any garden stage. 🌼
For those planning to cultivate these towering beauties, here’s a heads-up: delphiniums are hungry plants! 🥕 Alan advises giving them plenty of rich soil and compost – they love it! Just remember, slugs and snails find them irresistible, so keep up your defences from early spring.
While they boast a brief but brilliant bloom, the delphiniums are perfect for a ‘back of the border’ placement, letting you layer in other stars to steal the show when these blooms take a bow. 🎭
And if you’re keen on discovering more showstoppers, Alan’s also got his eye on a few other gems like Lupinus ‘Cashmere Cream’, Foxglove ‘Illumination Flame’, and Dahlia ‘Muchacha’.
So, ready to transform your garden into a blooming paradise? 🌺✨ Share your thoughts or tag a friend who’d love this tip! 🍃#GardeningGoals #AlanTitchmarsh #DelphiniumDreams
