Large salmon-pink flowers with blackish-purple spotting. A vigorous free flowering variety which complements roses and paeonies.
An easily grown long flowering bushy perennial for a sunny spot, repeat flowers during summer and early winter if dead headed. A fine backdrop for lower perennials and fills out well between roses and salvias.

Evergreen shrub forming an attractive rounded shape with sweetly fragrant clusters of white and pink flowers in spring.

One of the best variegated cultivars with bright green leaves and white margins. A fine architectural plant with Dicentra and shade loving geraniums.
