Terrific long flowering agastache, distinct from Blue Boa with narrower conical flowers and more blue in colour. Prefers open drainage and good soil, as per other agastache.
Variation of the usual blue forms, this one likes similar damp conditions in shade, forming a low spreading groundcover
Our own double purple which we have increased from division. Best in well drained conditions in a pot or the rock garden.
A dense growing multi stemmed variety prized for topiary and hedging, featured at Sissinghurst Castle. Bright blue flowers.

Old fashioned cottage plant with intense blue flowers, easily grown but best in clay based soil.
Reputedly more blue than others, we find these echinops, contrary to their appearance, are best situated in a cooler position with only part day sun. To yield their best, plant in fertile drained soil and a sheltered position.

A low, spreading variety for the border, rockgarden or drystone wall. Lots of thimble sized nodding white bells in mid-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.
