Variegated Honesty

Honesty is a very valuable biennial which brings the spring garden alive. The most desirable forms have variegated leaves. This is a white flowering variegated Honesty.

At Mooseys I try to keep the different types of Honesty growing in quite separate places. I also have a patch which is variegated but has the usual purple flowers.

Variegated Honesty

I think the white variegated variety is my most favourite, though. I actually bought three white flowering variegated plants from a mail order catalogue, before I realised they could be obtained quite easily from neighbouring gardens.

In difficult garden areas (like the dry semi-shaded Hump) I am guaranteed of a beautiful spring garden display. I can easily get swathes of Honesty growing under the gum and pine trees - perfect for spring woodland walks!
