Data sheet
The original european wild strawberry, excellent as ground cover in shade or part sun. Small sweetly flavoured fruit and white flowers.
Ancient long cultivated food plant which provides delicious berries as well as leaves that can be used for tea and medicinal purposes. Easy to grow.
Compact broad bush to 1.5m, vigorous and abundant fruiting. Fruit can become very plump and juicy when ripe, which is ideal for home consumption where the fruit is used fresh, but not so suitable for commercial packaging and storage. As with other varieties, acid well drained soil with plenty of mulch and summer moisture.
Best used where fresh mint in needed in tabouleh, salads, sauces etc. Distinctly shaped rounded leaves and delicate fresh taste.
The most flavoursome variety of peppermint, used commonly for tea and oil production. Used medicinally for overcoming nausea and sickness, an easy variety for part shade.
One of the earliest fruiting varieties, with tall vigorous growth habit to 2.1m. Once established, prune out central canes to keep bush open. As with most blueberries, fruit production is improved by planting other varieties nearby. Sweet fruit which stores and freezes well, perfect for jams, pies, or just eaten fresh.
A worthwhile silver foliage variety, named after the Welsh castle and gardens. Will grow in low fertility soil, and makes an effective ground cover when combined with cistus, lavender, and rosmary.
Paprika red yarrow, fades to attractive dusky red as flowers age. Easy drought and frost hardy perennial, medium height.
Outstanding grey foliage plant for rock garden, border, or mass planting. Contrasts well with colourful foliage like berberis and cotinus, or in combination with Salvia nemorosa varieties. Yellow button flowers through summer, trim off if not your colour scheme!
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.
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.
Tall, sun loving perennial for the herbaceous border and cottage garden, providing lasting structure and a long show of golden ochre flowers. Plant with heleniums, day lilies, iris and salvias.
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.
Alchemilla mollis. Ancient medicinal plant preferring part shade and clay soils, although generally easily grown. Attractive foliage and lime green flowers, winter deciduous.
