| The Sainsbury Building Weir Borders |
The planting of the borders beside the two Sainsbury Building weir pools were completed in early autumn last year, see blog entry for the 29th September 2017 'The Transformation of the Sainsbury Building Weir'. Eleven months later the plants have settled into their new home with the Hydrangea paniculata 'Phantom' putting on quite a show, its white and pale to dark pink floret filled, conical flower heads being reflected in the stillness of the water.

| The Casson Building Borders |
Another hydrangea, Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight', is also putting on a showy display. Planted several years ago in the borders of the Casson Buiding, these hydrangea are much lager than the younger 'Phantom' and are covered in larger conical, lime green to white floret filled flower heads. Both these cultivars of Hydrangea paniculata are worthy additions to the gardens and if these two are an indication of just how good the floral displays can be, H. paniculata 'Little Lime' and H. paniculata 'Pinky Winky', also in the gardens, will be well worth waiting for.
