Jane King’s garden is filled with a luxuriant planting palette that presents a rich and varied display as the year slowly moves towards a change in the seasons. It is a combination that she describes as ‘contemporary classical,’ indicating the different areas surrounding the handsome Victorian house. With a lovely colour scheme that varies through the seasons, the garden is anchored throughout the year with deep maroon tones in both foliage and flowers.
In late summer through to autumn, dahlias shine out under dappled shade from mature trees and shrubs, with showstoppers such as candy pink ‘Otto’s Thrill’ and tangerine ‘David Howard’ set against the richly deep tones of a mix of burgundy varieties, including ‘Karma Choc’ and ‘Nuit d’Eté’. Planting is layered to support the infill, from the canopies of trees
