Improved form with wider leaf blades than the species and larger inflorescence. A beautiful plant for larger spaces.
Our best blue variety, light sky blue with white bicolour. Plant in blocks for maximum impact and avoid heavy summer irrigation as with all lupins.

Delightful variety from Wychwood, lovely range of foliage colour including greys, purples and pinks. Distinct from 'Matrona' and 'Purple Emperor', with lower more branched form. Looks good all year both in pots and in the ground. My favourite sedum.
Old fashioned auricula, with petals red fading into strawberry and coral. Fertilise lightly with a mix of dolomite, potash and dynamic lifter.
Rich purple blue colour and lower growing than other varieties, providing contrast and height variation when combined with 'Carodonna' and 'Lye End'. Frost resistant and winter deciduous.
Deep pink hydrangea, flatter lacecap type like 'Tokyo Delight'; note pink varieties are less affected by soil pH than blue varieties.
A nice addition to the summer flowering pallette, this persicaria has a softer colour than 'Taurus' with similar good qualities of long flowering and good foliage and infill. Best on heavier fertile soils.
The lowest growing of all the lambs ears, and a brilliant long lasting drought tolerant groundcover forming mats of velvety foliage maximum only 10cm tall. We use this extensively for edging borders and paths,and find it combines well with armeria, thymes, origanum rotundifolium, and dwarf bulbs.
A splendid shrubby variety that will attain a height of 5 ft if given the space. The flowers are deep red with a contrasting black calyx, which is a striking effect when viewed from a distance. Trim back in early summer before flowering if you have limited space or prefer a more compact plant.
Rosette-forming succulent with apricot flowers and grey-blue leaves. Easy to grow and multiplies quickly.
Ornamental bronze tinged foliage plant for pond margins and clay soils; associates well with gunnera, filipendula, and Iris. Best in part shade, native to China and Japan.
Cascading ground covering variety for stone walls and rockeries with pure white flowers. Useful in mass planting with prostrate rosemary and thymes. Spring to summer flowering.
Compact non-invasive clumping perennial with tall white flowers and grey green foliage. Like other lysimachia, these prefer fertile moisture retentive, clay based soils.
A lovely species from Greece, useful as a ground-cover for part-sun with attractive velvety leaves and deep blue flowers. Closely related to Geranium ibiricum.
Soft grey foliage spreading ground cover for most soils and dry conditions. Will fill nicely amongst verbascum, geraniums and carpet under roses.
Lower growing hosta with lots of lilac flowers and good rosettes of blue grey foliage. Useful variety for foreground plantings in part sun to shade.
Native to the Black Sea and southern Georgia, a fine evergreen iris rarely seen in Australia. Grow in a cottage garden or perennial border setting, where it will produce blue flowers in mid winter. Visually very similar to Iris unguicularis flowering a few weeks later here in winter, however broader bladed & overall better foliage.
