A dozen splendid coral bell plants will brighten up a mid Sussex village’s remembrance garden.

Planted around a central pergola, the evergreen perennials will provide vibrant year-round foliage in Adastra Park, Hassocks.

Donated by nearby South Downs Nurseries, the family-run garden centre was delighted to help with the project to improve the beds in this park of the public park and last year donated for the commemorative VE Day plantings.

“We’re delighted to support the refresh and replanting of the Garden of Remembrance, helping maintain a peaceful and beautiful space for the community to reflect and enjoy,” said Benjamin Tate, Executive Director of Tates of Sussex

The area is enjoyed by those seeking a space of peace and tranquillity to spend time in quiet reflection.

The Huechera plants are ideal because they are low maintenance evergreen perennials, noted for their lime green to near-black foliage.
