I am a gardener and garden designer working in Central England since 2008. I specialise in the sympathetic renovation and restoration of gardens. Follow me as I chart progress in various gardens.
One of my hobbies includes Hermès silks, so expect my blog to be interspersed with the odd scarf or three. For me wearing a piece of silk art is the perfect antidote to a day's hard graft.
I have Cotinus Grace in my garden.I love it for the spring foliage too . Although in a little garden it is a bit of a monster. My view is small garden ...big plants but less of them . My husbands is small garden lots of little things .
Estrella, the best way to control 'Grace' is to cut it down to a low framework in April. Tnat way you still get a good sized shrub with all the lovely autumn foliage but it will not overtake everything else in a small garden.
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLooking back, I'm surprised at all the blue in your autumn land--it makes the cooler weather so delightful to see a range of colors.
