Choosing The Right Plant Of Your Garden
FELICIA
Commonly known as the kingfisher daisy due to its brilliant blue flowers, this genus includes around 80 species of annuals, perennials, and sub shrubs naturally occurring from southern Africa to the Arabian Peninsula. Mainly low-growing plants, they have simple oblong leaves that are often covered with fine bristly hairs. The daisy like flowers are made up of a central yellow disc floret surrounded by a brightly colored flower head, which is often sky blue, although it may be pink or white. Felicia species bloom throughout much of spring and summer, and are suitable for rock gardens, containers, and beds. The genus was named for Herr Felix, a nineteenth-century mayor of Regensburg, a town on the Danube.
CULTIVATION
These plants are reasonably hardy but will only withstand light frost. The perennials and sub shrubs are best suited to a mild climate with warm summers and dry winters. Plant in full sun with light, gritty, well-drained soil. Propagate from cuttings taken in late summer or autumn or from seed in spring.
LEFT:-The creamy green leaves of Felicia amelloides 'Variegata' are interspersed with lovely sky blue daisy- like flowers from spring through to early summer.
FORSYTHIA
This genus of about 7 species of deciduous shrubs belongs to the Oleaceae family and occurs mainly in open woodland in eastern Asia, with the exception of 1 species, which derives from southeastern Europe. The simple, narrow, blunt-toothed leaves grow in opposite pairs on the softwooded stems, which branch upwards from the ground. The starry bright yellow, flowers are a cheerful sight in early spring, appearing as they do sometimes before the season's new leaves. Some species have slightly hanging branches that can be trained over a support to form an attractive wall plant. The bright blossoms are believed to herald the beginning of spring in China and Japan, and as such are highly valued.
CULTIVATION
These frost-hardy plants are easy to grow. They need an open sunny position, a well-drained fertile soil, as well as adequate water in summer and freezing temperatures in winter to encourage flowering. Propagate from soft-tip cuttings in summer or hardwood cuttings in winter.
ABOVE RIGHT:- Forsythia suspensa is well suited to training on a wall, which is an ideal way to feature its abundant golden flowers each spring. In autumn, the long leaves turn yellow. RIGHT Forsythia 'Northern Sun' is a strong-growing tall shrub that produces a magnificent display of yellow flowers in spring. The flower buds are almost as hardy as the stem wood.
