Itoh type paeonia resulting from crossing herbaceous and shrubby species, beautiful foliage and huge ruffled soft lemon flowers like a old fashioned rose. Need good drainage and fertile soil, long lived plant.
White outward-facing bell flowers clustered on tall stems over a rosette of bright green foliage make this a very attractive garden plant. A suitable ground-cover for colonising difficult areas, particularly in the wild garden where it can be left to ramble freely.
Prolific cascading groundcover phlox with rich pink flowers in early summer; great plant amongst rocks, bedding.
Tall architectural grass for the herbaceous border or formal plantings with variegated white and green leaves. Semi evergreen but best cut back every few years.
Useful to create blocks of colour during summer, when many spring flowers have finished blooming. A useful cut flower, the soft colour tones of yarrow are most welcome in mixed bunch combinations.
A pretty species which grows well in the garden. Reddish pink flared bells on 140 cm stems, native to the eastern Drakensberg region, where it is said to cover complete hillsides.
My favourite new salvia for border, rose-garden or mass planting. White flowers enveloped by a royal purple calyx on a vigourous plant that"s not too big, but not too small. Grows well in large containers providing you remember to water.
One of the best summer perennials for the border that flowers well into dry summer periods. Deep blue flower spikes contrasting with dark stems. Frost hardy and deciduous, cut back after first flowering for a repeat flowering later in the season. Taller than other forms.
Rose pink variety, useful infill under David Austin roses and amongst spring perennials.
A terrific compact form of artemesia popular in mediterranean gardens, similar to 'Powis Castle' in silver foliage effect but finer and less shrubby, more suitable amongst perennial plantings.

Cushion-forming plant from Chile for the rockgarden or trough. Great around stones, spreads horizontally to form a tight mat.
Lower growing to waist high with soft foliage and improved autumn colour, one of the better panicums. A nicely clumping contained grass that looks good in groups amongst echinacea and summer perennials, wont self seed and lasts a long time. However needs decent fertile soil to flourish.
A low-spreading variety with attractive grey-green leaves and pink flowers. Great under roses with Heuchera americana and Alchemilla mollis.
