Scabious, iris and salviaThis classic container uses purple flowered irises, salvias and scabious, all of which are frequently seen in flower show gardens. A lovely container for a cottage or wildlife garden.
We used: Scabiosa ‘Pink Mist’, Iris setosa ‘Baby Blue’, Salvia nemorosa, pebble mulch, 25cm terracotta pot.
Euphorbia, salvia and Japanese blood grassUsing striking foliage with hot tones is a classic Chelsea approach. Here, the dark-leafed euphorbia provides the perfect foil for vibrant salvia blooms and zingy imperata foliage.
We used: Euphorbia amygdaloides ‘Craigieburn’, Imperata cylindrica‘Rubra’, Salvia roemeriana ‘Hot Trumpets’, 30cm green-glazed pot.
Hosta, polystichum and primulaThis well-matched trio aims to create a natural look suited to a shady spot. While the primula will die down until next year, the fern and hosta will perform until autumn.
We used: Hosta ‘Halcyon’, Polystichum setiferum, Primula vialii, 30cm orange-glazed pot.

We love to draw inspiration from garden shows, where the country’s best and upcoming gardeners come together to share their wild and wonderful ideas.
The goal from a visit to the Chelsea Flower Show is to come away with your head full of ideas and inspiration. Sometimes the show gardens can feel unattainable – too esoteric, too wild or too zany for your own back garden. This year however there are plenty of clever, stylish and down-to-earth gardens that offer ideas for real gardens. Here are a few of the best.
