This is the traditional "red hot poker" with bright upright orange pokers in summer and evergreen foliage. Easily grown and prolific.
Perennial verbena, more leafy and bushy than Verbena bonariensis, a good summer border plant with rich colour. Cut back foliage to avoid harbouring mildew in autumn.
Tall white phlox with delicious perfume, flowering in summer. Best in fertile conditions protected from afternoon sun.
Attractive dark stemmed form of Hydrangea macrophylla, flowers can vary from blue in acid soil or pink in alkaline. Old fashioned mop top flowers, good for floral work.
Popular in Mediterranean dishes combining well with bay, rosemary and sage flavours. Also a attractive cottage garden plant if you like mixing your herbs and flowers.
A beautiful low compact variety for edging or foreground, virtually evergreen and flowers for a long time. Prefers heavier moisture retentive soil types, and a cooler position is best although will take both full sun or part shade.
Delightful variety from Wychwood, lovely range of foliage colour including greys, purples and pinks. Distinct from 'Matrona' and 'Purple Emperor', with lower more branched form. Looks good all year both in pots and in the ground. My favourite sedum.
A splendid shrubby variety that will attain a height of 5 ft if given the space. The flowers are deep red with a contrasting black calyx, which is a striking effect when viewed from a distance. Trim back in early summer before flowering if you have limited space or prefer a more compact plant.
The 'wood anemone' is useful as a ground cover in shade. Treat as a bulb, dry off after flowering, summer deciduous, good amongst Hosta and Helleborus. This is the traditional form with single white flowers.
Temperate bromeliad from Chile for sunny well drained position, also good in pots. The grey green rosette transforms to brilliant red when the wonderful azure flower appears. Likes winter wet and summer dry in our climate. Avoid clay.
Decorative grass with fluffy 'cats tail' seed heads. Does not seed in our summer dry temperate climates, but can be a strong seeder in warmer humid climates if seed heads not trimmed before dispersal.
A perennial grass with fine silvery green foliage, colouring bronze in autumn. The flowers and seedheads are an attractive fan shape. Clumping and non-invasive.
We introduced this in 1996 from the UK, a lovely deep rich pink colour with single flowers on tall stems.
Light blue form with larger flowers than the wild variety. Easy to grow and lovely in spring.
Somewhat rampant if treated too well but extremely useful for colonising dry shady areas where not much else will grow. Makes an attractive weed-smothering clump of glossy foliage followed by plentiful lime-green flowers in late winter.
Drought tolerant groundcover for perennial border; associates well with sedums, santolina, euphorbia, slavias. Grey foliage attractive mounding habit with pink flowers.
