The Butterfly Border - Verbena, Scabiosa 'Mariposa Blue', Agapanthus 'Su Casa', Digitalis 'Panter'
Purposeful and beautiful in equal measure. That's the brief for this one, and verbena, scabiosa, agapanthus and foxglove deliver on both counts. Four of the most reliably wildlife-friendly plants you can grow in a UK garden - and they happen to look wonderful together from late spring right into autumn.
Foxglove kicks things off in May with tall spires that bumblebees cannot resist - they disappear inside each flower like they've found the world's best pub. Scabiosa and verbena carry things beautifully through June and July, their delicate pincushion and clustered blooms a constant landing pad for butterflies and bees alike. Then agapanthus steps in with rich purple-blue blooms that hold the whole display with real confidence until September.
Plant this border and you'll have done something good for your garden and everything that lives in it.
Best in full sun, with agapanthus appreciating a sheltered spot. Flowers May to September.
Our 'With Pots' option is paired with perfectly fitting terracotta pots. Pot substitutions may be made based on availability.
