The Magnolia stellata is almost naked now. A few browning brittle leaves and rabbit-tail buds. Much of the summer’s pot planting has been tidied away. The roof terrace has lost its blush.
The tall, swooning salvia has been the new plant of the year – almost elegantly wasted now after months of cascading blue flowers. Beloved by bees.
