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.
Mounding grey foliage plant resembling ballota, useful for larger coastal gardens where it forms an effective ground cover with westringea, correa, prostrate rosmary and native grasses. Can also be grown as a low hedge if planted 80cm apart.

A legendary oriental poppy with a distinct colour break from the usual pinks and reds, producing the most intriguing plum purple blooms. The dark flowers are subject to sun and wind burn so provide some shelter. If these are out of stock, we normally have more coming on in propagation.
