Edible santolina, said to add the flavouring of olives to marinades and baked dishes. Combine with thyme, rosemary, basil and tarragon flavours. Attractive and abundant yellow pompoms.
Low growing plant for shade or part shade, with spreading ground covering habit and porcelian blue flowers. Prefers open textured soil and easily divided once established, combines well with other woodland plants like anemone, rodgersia, and epimedium.
Brightly coloured old fashioned cushion plant for border and rock garden, often known as 'thrift'. Often associated with coastal gardens, armeria thrive in a wide range of habitat and are both drought and frost tolerant.
An attractive species with glossy leaves and an showy leaf rosette. Amber flowers clustered tightly on tall stems.
White flowered 'mop top' old fashioned macrophylla variety, vigorous and won't change colour with pH variation. Perfect in shade, grows best with some drainage.
Low growing bedding and border plant with blue flowers, lasts well in a vase and keeps producing if deadheaded.
Ochre yellow 'Kangaroo Paw', easily grown in dry soil types, preferring good drainage.
Deep pink hydrangea, flatter lacecap type like 'Tokyo Delight'; note pink varieties are less affected by soil pH than blue varieties.

Japanese woodland species with climbing habit. Prefers drained peaty soil and sun protection, ideal for southern wall or trellis.
A low growing, pure white aster that flowers well in summer, without requiring much in the way of water and staking. Best in a mixed perennial border, or between roses combined with geraniums and campanulas.
Dark leaved aster, with petite starry pink flowers in autumn. We never see mildew on this variety, and its foliage makes a good show prior to flowering.
Lavender mauve trumpets with lighter throats medium to larger growth suitable for mass planting or summer border. Cut back after flowering as with lavenders and salvias.
