Sweetly fragrant variety with pink feathered flowers and silver cushion forming foliage.
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 delicate little species with distinctly different flowers from the usual dierama form. These are open bells like a campanula, deep pink in colour, and appear in mid to late summer.
One of the better varieties we have grown, with upright stems and soft pink flowers. A lasting vigourous plant with attractive evergreen grey felted foliage. Imported by Plant Hunters, few only.
A brilliant low grass with outstanding flowers and seedheads, suitable for massed foreground plantings in landscape design work or in clusters amongst other perennials. A slender plant so plant closely at 25cm for best results. Not self seeding in our trial stockbeds.
Pretty variety with numerous sprays of lilac flowers, very prolific in autumn.
A delightful low growing clumping species with silver foliage, non invasive and evergreen foliage. Golden flowers like a smaller version of 'Gold Plate'.
A popular and easily grown culinary herb that will form an excellent ground cover and cascade over a bank or wall.
A pretty and long flowered plant for a damp soil in a sheltered position forms a nice clump. Grows well amongst other perennials or under roses.
Spreading species from Ethiopia, useful for ground-cover in larger gardens. Suckers like a wild strawberry when happy, prefers part shade or clay based moisture-retentive soils.
Lower growing to waist high with soft foliage and improved autumn colour, one of the better panicums. A nicely clumping contained grass that looks good in groups amongst echinacea and summer perennials, wont self seed and lasts a long time. However needs decent fertile soil to flourish.
Bold foliage plant for moist areas with exotic foliage, native to Myanmar and Tibet. Extremely cold hardy, best grown along with other moisture loving plants on a pond margin or in part shade woodland environment. Associates well with filipendulas, astilbes, gunneras and primulas.
The 'wood anemone' is useful as a ground cover in shade. Treat as a bulb, dry off after flowering, summer deciduous, good amongst Hosta and Helleborus. This is the traditional form with single white flowers.
Pure white flowers over fresh green fern-like foliage in spring. Useful beneath trees in semi-shade.
I found this little treasure at Woodbank nursery several years ago. It is a very compact, low plant with impressive large clusters of purple trumpets. Non-invasive and perfect for the rock garden or trough.
The best white persicaria we have tried, as with Taurus and others, these will flower in summer but good much and soil fertility will ensure their best performance. Waist high or fraction higher in moister conditions, basal foliage with drifts of vertical white spikes. We like to plant these in clumped groups of 5 or 9 at 25cm spacings for best effect.
