Attractive cottage plant and popular medicinal plant also. Easily grown in well drained soil, best with added fertiliser.
A softer apricot colour than the regular brighter tangerine variety, flowers for much of the year in fertile heavier soil types.
A very late flowering variety with tall wiry stems and in its early stages an interesting tight flower bud, providing a similar effect to craspedia globosa. Attractive low basal foliage, and a sculptural interesting plant for late summer groupings.
A pretty, low growing rivale type, suitable for the the cottage garden, foreground beds or path edging. Long flowering, best in heavier fertile soils.
A strong variety of bluebells that will colonize well in areas of shade or part sun, active mid winter and flowering spring to early summer, potted cluster of bulbs.
Semi double almost black from our own breeding, vigorous and strong grower compared to others. Gravelly soil and full sun with some lime.
A striking biennial for shade, forming strong mounds of good foliage and normally flowers in second or third year once the plant has acheived maturity, after which it will self seed. This is the rarely offered white form, the common form is pink.
Stunning double flowered paeonia requiring rich well drained soil in full sun, young plants often takes a year or two to establish but eventually form large clumps; we recommend removing first flowers to hasten establishment.
Low growing bedding and border plant with blue flowers, lasts well in a vase and keeps producing if deadheaded.
Old fashioned double primrose for part sun or shade in good soil. We never have many of these regretfully
Prolific carpeting ground cover flowering in spring, along with phlox, auriculas, and pulsatilla. They look best tumbling over a wall or in a rock garden where they get good sun and drainage.
One of our favourite late season rudbeckias, a tall late summer flowering variety with lemon yellow green centred flowers on strong rigid stems, ideally suited to heavier soil types.
Dome-forming clumper for the rockgarden or border, flowering profusely during summer with mounds of purple bells. Non-invasive and generally tidy when not in flower. Dislikes acid soil.
Old fashioned "catmint", mostly used as a border or edging in cottage gardens. Soft blue flowers, trim lightly in mid summer for a repeat flower in autumn.
A handsome plant with attractive palmate foliage on straight stems, topped with 30 cm spikes of pale pink Veronica flowers. Best in a moist fertile spot.
