Lavender, Iris & Canna Planting

These early plantings in the Hen House border are mainly perennials, planted in between the Rugosa roses. A favourite combination was lavender and Iris Japonica. The cannas in the background are the variety Tropicanna.

Perennials in the Hen House Garden

Since this photograph was taken the cannas in the background have been moved out - their stunning striped leaves can be better appreciated closer to the house.
