A more elegant plant than the type forming a compact mound of foliage covered in large pure white flowers during summer. Performs well in a rockgarden or mixed border situation in full to part sun.
A cross between Geranium dalmaticum and G. macrorrhizum with good ground-covering habit and compact growth. A useful landscaping plant which looks tidy for most of the year. The flowers are white to pale pink and held well above the evergreen green foliage. Also good in pots.
Delicious plum purple colour, mass plant in autumn with iris, delphiniums and Canterbury Bells for spring flowering.
Mounding grey foliage plant resembling ballota, useful for larger coastal gardens where it forms an effective ground cover with westringea, correa, prostrate rosmary and native grasses. Can also be grown as a low hedge if planted 80cm apart.
White flowers suffused with the palest lilac, darkest at the tips. Tall stems great for flower arranging. Amongst my current favourites.
A useful pond side plant or for wet soils, where it will form a dense ground cover. Bright green leaves and red flowers during summer.
Medium hydrangea with large heads of blue lacecaps. Note all blue hydrangea need acid soil to produce correct colouring; in alkaline soil they will tend toward pink.
One of the best Geranium pratense crosses , flowering all through summer with lovely dark blue flowers reminiscent of Geranium himalayense. Compact shape and long-flowering.
Low mounding plant with silvery finely cut foliage and white daisies. Native to Sicily, extremely drought tolerant avoid over watering and wet areas. Cut back occasionally after flowering.
A pleasing break from the usual hot colours, a subtle kniphofia with two-toned pokers in peach and ivory.
One of the first perennials my mother gave me, a delightful old fashioned ground cover for under roses, where it will remain well behaved forever, or until overgrown by an invasive neighbour. Easily revived and transplanted however, and not to be confused with 'Claridge Druce' or other inferior Geranium oxonianum hybrids.
Long flowering agastache great for attracting butterflies into the garden. Summer flowering and one of the better agastache we have trialled, fertile loamy soil best, and will tolerate some clay if worked and mulched. We find these will only tolerate light occasional frost.
Lavender mauve trumpets with lighter throats medium to larger growth suitable for mass planting or summer border. Cut back after flowering as with lavenders and salvias.
Sky blue flowers, protect from wind in a walled garden or amongst shrubs or roses. As easy to grow as other varieties providing drainage is reasonable.
Temperate bromeliad from Chile for sunny well drained position, also good in pots. The grey green rosette transforms to brilliant red when the wonderful azure flower appears. Likes winter wet and summer dry in our climate. Avoid clay.
White double flowers. Strongly clumping variety useful as a cut flower or cottage garden background infill perennial; easy and prolific. Stake in windy areas or cram in between miscanthus and eupatorium.
