Spooky

 Chris Beardshaw is very much flavour of the year. After his win at
Chelsea, he's come up with another stunner, the McCarthy & Stone garden. I love his planting with it's mix of Lychnis Coronaria Alba, Alchemilla Mollis, Digitalis Parviflora, fennel and Rose Burgundy Ice.

Lycnis and Eryngium are combined to great effect here.

Eryngium Giganteum, more commonly known as Miss Wilmott's Ghost after
the 19th century gardener Ellen Wilmott, who used to secretly scatter the seeds of this plant 
in other people's gardens, is such a stunning plant. I love how it reflects the light back at you.
Already on my must-have list.
