The Maltese Cross is best seen during early June when the array of silver, blue, and white plants are in full bloom. The cross is made up of sisyrinchium, rue, iris, campanula, and anaphalis, with a large Scottish thistle in the centre.

Behind the Maltese Cross is what is referred to as the ‘Rainbow Border’. Planted in blocks of colour, ranging from whites, yellows, reds, pinks, and blues, this border is home to plants such as acanthus, ballota, tamarix, and a colletia.
