Ken’s Weekly Tips – 13th June

by Ken C | Last Updated: 13/06/2021

I’ve just uploaded a new video to my YouTube Channel – GardenWithKen

Lavender, Cat Mint (Napeta), Annabelle (Hydrangea Arborescnes), Russian Sage (Perovskia Atriplicifolia) and a shrub rose combine to really set off this border.

Happy gardening!
