Bergenia 'Bressingham White'
Tough, leafy perennial, useful for ground cover in dry shade. Good between deciduous trees planted with Hellebores and Epimedium. White flower with red stems.
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.

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.
The lovely and hardy winter flowering iris from Greece with lavender flowers during winter. Survives well in dry summer areas.
Attractive long flowering ornamental grass which flowers in summer with miscanthus, sedums, agastache, and echinacea. Very easy and well behaved in clay however in light sandy soils may be overly vigorous and only suit the large garden. We have found only occasional seedlings, but as with all grasses, deadhead if seeding occurs. Useful for foreground in...
Old fashioned spreading grey foliage plant for amongst roses and perennials. Easy and dry tolerant.
A good multiplier with a understated greenish bronze colour, nice and subtle.
Alpine tussock found in Tasmanian alpine areas. It does surprisingly well in most garden conditions providing it is well drained.
Ground covering alpine plant for rock garden or above a dry-stone wall. Rich pink flowers completely cover the entire plant so foliage is obscured, protect from excessive winter wet.
Our own double purple which we have increased from division. Best in well drained conditions in a pot or the rock garden.
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.
Slender wiry stems topped with lolly pink pompoms about the size of a mulberry, flowering for months in summer. Like other sanguisorba they are drought tolerant, but like some clay below the surface.
One of the first plants I grew from cutting; quick growing and floriferous in a short space of time. In summer it requires complete cutting to the ground like an oriental poppy, and will resprout in autumn when there is sufficient moisture. Easy and quick to fill in spaces; pink flowers.
Old fashioned double primrose for part sun or shade in good soil. We never have many of these regretfully
Itoh type paeonia resulting from crossing herbaceous and shrubby species, beautiful foliage and huge ruffled soft lemon flowers like a old fashioned rose. Need good drainage and fertile soil, long lived plant.
A large flowered rich blue purple aster that flowers late summer. Stout stems and self supporting, grows well in meadow plantings amongst grasses and other perennials such as delphinium, echinacea, and scabiosa.
Unusual Aconitum with glossy attractive foliage and pale lemon flowers on upright stems. Clump forming and easy in shade.
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.
