Single white campanula; simple and beautiful, yet easily grown and long-lived. Like most campanulas, it dislikes excessive leaf litter on the crowns in winter.
An excellent tall perennial for a sunny dryish position with spikes of interesting whorled beige-pink flowers. Cut back to crown after flowering to rejuvenate.Only a few in stock so order early.
A vigorous tall late summer flowering variety that never disappoints in its florferous abundance, provides good fill and the blue looks great with autumn grasses, sedums and rudbeckia.
Choice evergreen Iris from Greece and Turkey with blue flowers like Iris reticulata. Our stock plants grow well in a sunny south-facing rockgarden.
Rare white form of the pink "bleeding heart", best grown in shade in a spot protected from wind. Winter dormant and very cold tolerant.
An attractive foliage contrast to plant with hostas and woodland plants in moist shade or part sun around water features. These flower well in summer, and look great with Ligularia, Thalictrum and Filipendula as a backdrop. Rose pink flowers.
Our own breeding from Astrantia 'Hadspen Blood' ,very dark ruby red flowers. Astrantia, although tough once established, love moist clay loam soils and plenty of fertility to give their best. Division grown.
Vigorous form with pale flowers and larger leaves than other varieties. Vertical upright growth, suitable for specimen or hedging.
Old fashioned white 'cup and saucer' type, easy and clumping like other persicifolia types; only few in stock.
Classical double white border carnation, with good fragrance and vigourous growth. Long lasting plant for rock garden or border. Cut back occasionally.
Taller salvia for background plantings with pleasant sky blue flowers. Dislikes winter wet, preferring drainage for best cultivation.
One of the best geraniums in cultivation, this is a descendant of Geranium wallichianum. It has an exceptionally long flowering period, the blooms are are sky blue with white centres, abundant and lovely. The plant has a mounding ground covering habit, and is frost and drought hardy.
Outstanding grey foliage plant for rock garden, border, or mass planting. Contrasts well with colourful foliage like berberis and cotinus, or in combination with Salvia nemorosa varieties. Yellow button flowers through summer, trim off if not your colour scheme!
Pink form of Astrantia major: a good companion for hostas and dicentras in woodland.
The silvery foliage in combination with the abundant single soft pink flowers creates a lovely effect. Like a wild rose but much easier to look after and without the thorns.
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.
