Our front garden is a mixed combination of permanent and annual plants. Three years ago we added a little formality with box hedging. This can generally work quite well, however with our garden in an elevated position, we are beginning to think that this has not enhanced the appearance of the garden. It looks as if the box is about to find a more pleasing aspect in the back garden. In the front we will probably return to our traditional edging of Allysum and Lobellia. Thinking of Allysum we have found the best one of all is Snow Crystals the individual flower in this variety is noticeably larger than the others, giving an all-over better effect.
