Since there’s a focus on climate-resilient planting this year (thank you, heatwaves!), I’m taking a leaf out of my mum’s book – or, more specifically, her garden border.
That means I’ll be learning how to grow verbena this summer – it’s a drought-tolerant classic, so it has a much easier ride in heatwaves, and a visit home last weekend confirmed that it's an absolute magnet for bees and butterflies. Plus, the purple flowers are really pretty.
