Native to the Pyrenees, a good blue variety forming a rounded mound of foliage and flowers in mid-summer. Combines well with Geranium 'Mavis Simpson' and sedums. Ensure planting in ground: not good in pots.
A tall herbaceous euphorbia, most likely a descendant of Euphorbia sikkimensis, with attractive multicoloured foliage and lime green flowers. Frost and drought hardy, cut to the ground annually like Euphorbia sikkimensis.
Robust and moisture tolerant species from Nepal, with attractive tall foliage and lime-green flowers. A stately elegant plant that can be cut to the ground in winter, flowers appear early summer alongside delphiniums, lupins, and campanula.
The beautiful 'snakes head' Fritillaria. Easy to grow but requires drainage, moderate fertility with organic matter content in the soil and a cool position. Best in part shade in the rockgarden, or in a large pot or raised bed. Colour can vary from pink to purple, rarely but occasionally white.
Seed grown plants from our white flowered form, with dark purple leaves. All plants have purple leaves, with a variation from cream to light blue flowers.
A lovely geranium for a partly sheltered cottage garden setting, producing lavender soft pink flowers forming an attractive clump. Best in good soil with some protection from wind, ideal between roses.
Ground covering plant, ideally suited to a sunny position in a border or rock garden. Allow to dry out in summer once established, peach and apricot flowers like old fashioned roses.
I love helianthemums for their abundant flowering, and superb ground covering abilities in poor growing conditions. We found this as a chance seedling and thought it was worth naming and propagating.
We were delighted with this very soft pink variation, in the colour range of Cyclamen libanoticum. Equally as tough as other varieties.
Tall summer flowering perennial sunflower, combine with dahlias, rudbeckias and salvias.
Hand pollinated seedlings from our best double purple plants. Strain includes 'Dido' and 'Betty Ranicar'.
Hand pollinated seedlings from our best dark flowered plants from imported stock.
Two toned gold and lime green green leaf that darkens as the season progresses. Attractive contrast with other varieties.
Blue grey leaves, sieboldiana cross distinguished by its symmetrically pointed leaves, forms a good clump in shade.
One of the best variegated cultivars with bright green leaves and white margins. A fine architectural plant with Dicentra and shade loving geraniums.
An Hosta sieboldiana selection with large, very blue leaves. An excellent bedding or specimen plant for under deciduous trees with Helleborus.
Tall lemon and lime pokers fade to ivory as the individual buds open. A pleasant and subtle colour combination that contrasts well with the dark foliage of Anthryscus "Ravens Wing".
A pleasing break from the usual hot colours, a subtle kniphofia with two-toned pokers in peach and ivory.
