Remarkable double white parma violet, sweetly perfumed and delicious. Plant as ground cover in shade under trees, combine with helleborus, anemone, dicentra, and epimedium. Similar to 'Swanley White' but as we have collected these from different sources we have listed separately.
Old fashioned spreading grey foliage plant for amongst roses and perennials. Easy and dry tolerant.
Widely known as the "English" snowdrop, these are native to Turkey and the Caucasus, described by British botanist and plant hunter Henry John Elwes in his botanical expedition to the Caucasus in 1874. One of the more robust species, elwesii is easily recognised by its wider leaf and large flower. Best in a cool shady position on well drained but fertile...
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.
