Gardeners Dream

“Tilford Cream” is a compact, deciduous shrub with a bushy growth habit. It has small, medium to dark green, pinnate leaves. Flowers are saucer shaped and the petals are a creamy white colour with central golden-orange coloured stamens. Each flower is approximately 3 to 4 cm in diameter. The large number of flowers and the long season of flowering help to attract bees and butterflies. Although it enjoys the sun, it prefers partial shade. Full sun will diminish how long the individual flowers stay. Remove dead or unwanted branches at the end of the season or at the onset of spring. Being deciduous, this plant will come back in the spring time as it is full hardy and can withstand most temperatures in Europe. As it is a more compact shrub, it does well accenting hedging and screens. Additionally, it is a good coastal plant and provides colourful additions to flower beds and border plantings. This varietal works well in containers and due to its smaller to medium size, is good for planting at the front of borders and other beds.
