TV SURPRISE! INDIAN SUMMER IN DECEMBER 😊18.12.2024 Well, I must admit I was surprised as well as puzzled when my colleague texted me on Sunday, saying she was watching me on TV. NOVA TV decided to include my report on bluebeard taken during Indian summer in the final episode of Vaše kouzelná zahrada (Your enchanting garden), the Christmas edition. Probably to build up anxiety from spring being still too far ahead, or perhaps to make us look forward to the vibrant life in our gardens once the spring kicks off? Anyway.Do you know bluebeards? They are mostly blue-flowering, small, deciduous shrubs with aromatic leaves of various colours and an airy habit, suitable for dry and sunny landscapes. They bloom from August to October, depending on the variety, and look very nice in combination with coneflowers and rudbeckias, ornamental grasses, agastache, and hardy fuchsias. If you can speak Czech you may like to check out the entire episode or just the bit about bluebeards in the tv archive (my report starts at 3:00). It's available there for a short time, permanently it can be streamed on Voyo. And if you don't have time for the video, here are some photos of the most beautiful pieces. |  |

Ebbingei's silverthorn31.10.2024 On Sunday October 27, in a new TV gardening show Vaše kouzelná zahrada (Nova TV) I introduced evergreen silverthorn. This evergreen shrub or small tree is truly an autumn pearl with its beautiful leaves in several colours and a profusion of tiny flowers. They are heavily fragrant and bloom right now - in autumn. This year I even noticed a second flush of flowers which emerged thanks to very nice and mild weather. So, when you walk through our garden or just down the aisle with these shrubs in the garden centre, their sweet and strong smell will completely enchant you. And if you don't have time to watch the whole show on TV, here are some photos of these tough and beautiful plants. | |
