About this book
Colour in the Flower Garden is a book by Gertrude Jekyll. The text describes a border with a whole ground of grey foliage, naming Stachys, Santolina, Elymus, Cineraria maritima, and Sea Kale. The text describes plants of Verbascum phlomoides, ten feet high, showing a great cloud of pure pale yellow, and says they owe their vigour to being self-sown seedlings, never transplanted.
The text describes a Cistus cyprius rising to the wall's whole eleven feet of height and bearing a quantity of large white bloom with a deep red spot at the base of each petal. The text says June is also the time of some of the best of the climbing plants and slightly tender shrubs, such as Solamum crispum and Abutilon vitifolium. An index lists a gold garden with plants for it, a green garden and a grey garden, among other entries.
