Plant of the Day
Thursday 18 June 2020
The Dry Meadow at Cambridge Botanic Gardens was designed by James Hitchmough of University of Sheffield. It comprises of drought-tolerant species from steppes, prairies and grassy plains and includes temperate species which can withstand periods of summer drought. Many of the plants were established from a seed mix which was directly sown in-situ over a base layer of sand to provide a free-draining base for plant establishment. Creating pink highlights throughout the meadow at the moment is Dianthus carthusianorum (Carthusian pink, German pink).
