Larger agave, but still slow growing like most in a temperate climate. Attractive blue tinged erect saw toothed leaves.
A nice variation of Campanula latiloba with lilac flowers and upright flower spikes, showy but can be very spreading.
One our favourite new grasses, waist high flowers with rich green foliage, creating good mounding fill and texture within summer perennial plantings. Grows best on heavier fertile soils, and responds well to moisture in summer if available, but not overly demanding.
My friend Paulette grew these from seed, and these are cutting raised plants from selected seedlings. Apparently the flowers are edible, I love the perfume and they flower forever with no fuss. Best in border or rock garden, rich pink flowers.
A mound-forming sub alpine species with sweetly fragrant soft pink flowers. Useful amongst gravel and stones, petite compact form.
Remarkable silver foliage plant, with vigourous trailing groundcovering habit; suits hanging basket or drystone wall. Extremely tough and adaptable.
A brilliant new cultivar with deep purple flowers. Easily cultivated in fertile moist soil, tall graceful stems.
A delicate little species with distinctly different flowers from the usual dierama form. These are open bells like a campanula, deep pink in colour, and appear in mid to late summer.
The beautiful white form of Dierama pulcherimmum. The white bells hang from slender arching stems that move gracefully in the breeze; a lovely subject for a pond or border.
Lovely species with wine red bells on tall stems. Often the bracts are a silvery grey which contrast nicely with the darker bells. Needs fertile conditions
A strong white succulent ground cover from Silver Banksia nursery, very tough and the rich green foliage provides a good contrast for the white flowers. Good over a rocky bank, wall, or general ground cover in drier sunny areas.
Enourmous biennial with a stout woody trunk and silvery downy foliage. Ornamental and a great feature plant. Pink flowers to 2.5 m, often takes two years to flower, needs dry conditions. Photo courtesy of Peter Worgan Mnt Teide Tenerife.
White form of this excellent ground cover for shade, flowers age to very pale pink. Easily grown under trees where it favours dryish soil once established.
Old variety from Ken Gillanders collection; lovely ground covering habit and long flowering. I love finding new Helianthemum varieties, and value them greatly in our coastal dry herbaceous border, where they flower over a long period.
Delicate soft pink shade of Helianthemum, equally as tough as other varieties. In the seventies these were fashionable, with dozens of named cultivars being available; sadly these wonderful plants have disappeared from mail order catalogues.
Sky blue hydrangea, lighter in bud. In neutral or alkaline soil it tends to be light pink. Note all blue hydrangea need acid soil to produce correct colouring; in alkaline soil they will tend toward pink.
Early summer flowering perennial for border and rock garden, ideal with dianthus, scleranthus and other cushion forming plants. White flowers.
Wonderful evergreen shrub from New Zealand with ornamental leathery leaves and white daisy flowers. Requires a cool well-drained site or a large pot in a sheltered spot.
