Garden with Jonny Calm Corners Bundle (Hosta Blue Cadet, Hosta Medio Variegata, Dahlia David Howard, Begonia Pendula White, and Gladiolus Mix)

Garden with Jonny Calm Corners Bundle

The Calm Corners Bundle has been thoughtfully curated by Jonny for gardeners looking to soften quieter areas of the garden with gentle colour, texture, and reliable structure. Designed for shaded corners, sheltered borders, and relaxing garden spaces, this collection blends calming foliage with warm seasonal flowers for a balanced, restful display.

Ideal for borders, containers, and partially shaded spots, Calm Corners combines dependable foliage plants with summer-flowering highlights. The mix creates interest from early season leaf growth through to colourful blooms later in summer, making it perfect for areas that benefit from a more understated approach.

Hosta Blue Cadet provides a cool, calming base with its compact, blue-green foliage. Its neat, rounded habit is ideal for edging and containers, bringing structure and softness to shaded areas.

Hosta Medio Variegata adds contrast with broad green leaves highlighted by creamy white centres. Its bright foliage lifts darker corners and pairs beautifully with both flowers and foliage plants.

Adding warmth to the scheme is Dahlia David Howard, producing fully double blooms in rich apricot-orange tones set against dark bronze foliage. Flowering from summer into autumn, it introduces colour without overwhelming the calm palette.

At a lower level, Begonia Pendula White creates trailing cascades of soft white flowers, perfect for containers, hanging baskets, and edging. Its flowing habit helps soften hard lines and adds lightness to the planting.

Completing the bundle is a Gladiolus Mix, offering tall spikes of flowers in complementary shades. Flowering later in the season, gladioli add height and gentle movement, bringing the display together with vertical interest.

Together, these varieties create a relaxed and harmonious planting designed to brighten shaded corners and quieter areas of the garden. The Calm Corners Bundle is ideal for gardeners who value foliage, soft colour, and an unhurried, peaceful garden atmosphere.
