I spotted this dwarf poker in the UK years ago, where I was struck by its compact form and abundant hot-orange pokers. It is winter dormant and makes a good grassy mound of leaves when not in flower.
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.
Luscious watermelon coloured perennial poppy. Plant amongst penstemons, delphiniums and dianthus in the cottage garden. Cut back after flowering and they will often repeat flower in autumn if given a little mulch and TLC.
Prolific winter flowering perennial, fragrant purple flowers and bushy robust growth. Wall flowers are useful border plants, much valued for their evergreen nature and winter flowering habit.

A long stemmed form suitable for picking. Violet blue flowers in winter and early spring.
