A lovely old double pink auricula which we have increased from division. Best in well drained conditions in a pot or the rock garden.
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.

Garden cross between Helleborus sternii and H. niger, these are division grown plants from our collection. Few only.
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.
