Pure white gardens became a symbol of peace in Britain after World War II, when "dig for victory" vegetable gardens could be abandoned and flowers grown instead. Pure white gardens are tranquil, and best of all, can be enjoyed at night, when many white blooms almost seem to glow, and release their scent after the day's warmth: white camellias, roses, tulips, hyacinths, snowdrops, violets, lilies, gardenias, alyssum, marguerite daisies, chrysanthemums and many more, including the white-flowered rosemary, another plant for remembrance.
