Read excerpt
Whether tall or short, wafty or heavy, these versatile, texture-giving plants can be magical After four long months of warmth, the garden decided it was autumn prematurely. Yellow leaves piled up against the kerbstones. Everything might be dry and crispy, but for those who believe that planting should be done between September and April, it’s the start of a whole new school term in the garden.
