Lemon thyme, great for savoury meat dishes and marinades, also a long flowering ornamental garden plant. Larger than most ground-covering types, it forms a 30 cm mound and flowers well in summer even in dry conditions. Ideal for mass planting amongst stones with paeonies and crocus. Pink flowers.
My favourite variety for tea when used fresh, with rich clean flavour. Also dries well. Grow in sheltered garden out of hot afternoon sun.
Remarkable double white parma violet, sweetly perfumed and delicious. Plant as ground cover in shade under trees, combine with helleborus, anemone, dicentra, and epimedium. Similar to 'Swanley White' but as we have collected these from different sources we have listed separately.
A popular and easily grown culinary herb that will form an excellent ground cover and cascade over a bank or wall.
A soft ochre orange, brighter than 'Terracotta' and softer than 'Paprika'. The yarrows have so many lovely colour variations its hard to know where to stop with these!
Common "meadowsweet", an attractive perennial for damp soil with dozens of medicinal and culinary uses. The white fluffy flowers can be added sparingly to jam and stewed fruit, and can be used to flavour wine, beer and cordials. The root is also used in varied herbal remedies.
Semi prostrate medium blue form with cascading habit, useful winter flowering ground cover.
Vigorous herb which needs to be sited with consideration, like comfrey. Grows a bit too well from root cuttings, but worth having in the kitchen garden.
Prostrate white thyme only 1 cm high, plant as lawn or amongst stones, gravel or pavers for ground cover.
Portugese form of the pink rosemary, more true pink than Majorca pink and less upright, bushier and lower growing.
Culinary thyme; we use this around the garden as a summer flowering ground cover together with Thymus "Minimus". Great around rocks, in the herb garden or in the border.
The original european wild strawberry, excellent as ground cover in shade or part sun. Small sweetly flavoured fruit and white flowers.
Ornamental perennial from South America, with attractive white trumpet flowers and a sweet scent. A spectacular infill plant in mass plantings and backgrounds, best in part shade.
Juniper berry plants for production of berries for flavouring gin and other goodies.Cutting grown female plants.
Australian bred cultivar, vigorous and ideal for our conditions and soil types, up to 2.4m. Sweet fruit and high yielding once established. Good keeping qualities and more resistant to bruising than other varieties.
Close relative of Echinacea angustifolia, also used in herbal medicine, sharing many similarities. I find it a better garden plant, more vigorous and productive in growth, and manages better in winter wet.
