The secret of successful gardening is to go with nature instead of trying to fight it.
Even a ‘problem’ hot, dry, sunny spot can be turned into a real feature if you treat it right. It could become a stunning patio, courtyard or gravel garden.
What makes a hot spot hot? - walls and paving act like giant storage radiators
- pale coloured surfaces reflect heat and light back into the area
- heat is trapped in an enclosed area - it can feel like an oven
- light, sandy or free-draining soil suits ‘hot spot’ plants best
