Down beside the stream

Let Nature be your inspiration when planting up a water feature in a country garden. Primulas love damp conditions so are very well suited to waterside planting, as seen here (the primrose-polyanthus Primula pulverulenta). Other wetland plants to try include Iris sibirica and Rheum palmatum (Chinese rhubarb), and a soft rush called Juncus effuses. For advice on creating a wetland feature in your garden, visit the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.
