Low growing hosta for foreground and mass planting with rounded blue green leaves, with soft lilac mauve flowers.
Outstanding grey foliage plant for rock garden, border, or mass planting. Contrasts well with colourful foliage like berberis and cotinus, or in combination with Salvia nemorosa varieties. Yellow button flowers through summer, trim off if not your colour scheme!
A terrific subulata ground covering variety, hundereds purple flowers in spring an a good groundcovering habit, likes some drainage but not overly fussy and can tolerate drying out in summer..
I love helianthemums for their abundant flowering, and superb ground covering abilities in poor growing conditions. We found this as a chance seedling and thought it was worth naming and propagating.
Low growing rivale type with a long flowering period, good for path edging or foreground beds, these do best in heavier soils with some fertility, but in good soil are drought hardy and will take some summer heat.
A lovely variation on 'Bicolor' with copper two tone flowers for much of winter. Perennial wallflowers require good drainage and dont like it too wet.
Low growing sedum with cascading habit, ideal for bank or over wall. Rose pink to ruby flowers in summer.
Select large flowered form of the species, vigorous and long flowering. Medium height bushy plant, earlier than asters but works to same effect amongst other perennials.
Vigourous form of white wind flower for shade or part sun, this is a variation with slightly narrower multiple layered petals. Drained fertile soils improve flowering performance.
Native to Spain, Portugal and Morocco, a spectacular tall grass with attractive seed heads in autumn. Takes a few years to achieve maturity but well worth the wait.
Low mounding perennial for foreground colour, useful ground cover when mass planted at 25cm spacings under roses and along pathways. White form with pink eye, long flowering. Combine with dianthus helianthemum and miniature bulbs.
A brilliant new cultivar with deep purple flowers. Easily cultivated in fertile moist soil, tall graceful stems.
Long flowering flame orange wallflower, bird and butterfly attracting, especially during the winter months. Trim annually like with penstemons and lavender.
Evergreen rosette-forming penstemon with a tidy appearance and tall spikes of apricot flowers from summer to autumn.
Attractive cottage plant and popular medicinal plant also. Easily grown in well drained soil, best with added fertiliser.
