Presenter: Neville Passmore

Add a touch of blue to your garden with this season's waterwise blue hat varieties.

Neville's Tips and Facts

• Blue flowers bring a jewel-like sparkle to the landscape. When buying cottage perennials at the garden centre there is a colour code that can guide you in your selection. When buying romantic plants look out for blue hats as a guideline.
• Delphiniums are like an exclamation mark in the garden with their tall bright blue spires of bloom. Enjoy the flower then cut back to the ground in winter.
• Heliotrope Lord Roberts has a purple flower with a most intriguing perfume.
• Look out for a watering can symbol for watering requirements when shopping for plants.
• It is a good idea to cluster plants with the same colour together to avoid wasting our precious water and the red can represents the most drought-tough.
