Coppicing a Golden Indian Bean tree to maximise it's brilliant golden foliage in a border.
Показать описание
This week on The Horti-Culturalists we take a look at a plant grown exclusively for its foliage, in this case a tree! Which then leads us naturally to coppicing! Stephen grows Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea' For it’s golden foliage in a blue & yellow border and so has to coppice the tree every season to keep it's height down.
We also have a close encounter with Tagetes lemmonii, the Mexican Marigold, which has to be one of the most fragrant leaved plants out there, and discover who Mr Lemonn was!
The plants featured in this episode are:
Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea' - Golden Indian Bean Tree: a very hardy native of North America with fabulous golden foliage, able to withstand heat and extreme cold. Once mature it is smaller than the species Catalpa and bears beautiful orchid-like cream flowers late spring. Stephen coppices his every winter to maintain the height he requires and so his never blooms - it’s all about the amazing leaves.
Tagetes lemmonii - Mexican Marigold: a native of Mexico and SW USA. A tough highly fragrant small shrub which can tolerate sun, heat, drought; a winter flowerer that might need an annual trim to keep it in shape!
