Data sheet
Attractive and eye-catching bi-coloured cultivar with white and red flowers; probably a S. greggii hybrid. Compact and tidy for most of the year.
The orange oriental perennial poppy, originally from Turkey. The blooms are impressive, and in good conditions the plant will make a large perennial clump in only a few years. Remove the first flower and avoid acid soils.
Bushy plant with tons of closely packed white single flowers. Reddish buds before the flowers emerge creates a wonderful effect in early summer.
Shorter growing variety often more suited to smaller spaces and cottage gardens than taller Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'. Only knee high and combines well with sunny border foreground plantings of dianthus, geraniums and Salvia nemorosa.
Reputedly more blue than others, we find these echinops, contrary to their appearance, are best situated in a cooler position with only part day sun. To yield their best, plant in fertile drained soil and a sheltered position.
Heleniums are the mainstay of summer togeather with miscanthus, sedums and perovskia. They need virtually no water and put on a great display in our border despite being completely neglected. This is the wild occurring yellow flowered form.
Sky blue hydrangea, lighter in bud. In neutral or alkaline soil it tends to be light pink. Note all blue hydrangea need acid soil to produce correct colouring; in alkaline soil they will tend toward pink.
Tall perennial with deep indigo blue flowers in autumn, loosely resembling a Delphinium in form. Useful because of its tolerance to clay soils and later flowering.
Low growing hosta for foreground and mass planting with rounded blue green leaves, with soft lilac mauve flowers.
Selected form of Eucomis comosa, with pink tinged flowers and purple buds. A beautiful and striking perennial, both for foliage and flowers, best grown in a mixed herbaceous border or in a pot with good drainage. Requires good drainage and fertility.
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.
Parma type with sweet fragrance, soft lavender lilac double flowers, perfectly placed near a doorway or garden pathway where its subtle perfume can be appreciated.
Herbaceous variety with deep purple foliage through summer into autumn.
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.
A wonderful lime green variety, which visitors always comment on when in flower. A tidy plant that flowers for a long time and doesn't get too tall for the border.
Brightly coloured old fashioned cushion plant for border and rock garden, often known as 'thrift'. Often associated with coastal gardens, armeria thrive in a wide range of habitat and are both drought and frost tolerant.
