Slender wiry stems topped with lolly pink pompoms about the size of a mulberry, flowering for months in summer. Like other sanguisorba they are drought tolerant, but like some clay below the surface.

Data sheet
White flowered delphinium. Classic old-fashioned cottage garden plant and cut flower, plant in a protected spot on well drained fertile soil and these will flower year after year. Squash any nearby snails when the shoots first emerge in spring.
The lovely white form of Campanula trachelium, useful beneath roses as a background to ground covers and lower perennials.
A beautiful new variety from our trial beds; flowers open white with a blush of pink on the underside, good stem length and vigour compared to other varieties. Grow in a cool damp spot on rich soil, winter deciduous as per other astrantia. Pinch out first flower to help roots develop.
Rarely seen white form, similar cultivation as for the usual mauve form in part shade.
A recent introduction by us is this sedum from my mothers garden, with white flowers, which is an unusual colour in the world of sedums! As with other sedums, easy to grow in full sun position in most soil types. Rarely but occasionally these can produce a pale pink sport, which should be removed with a sharp knife at the crown at the time of flowering.
Wonderful evergreen shrub from New Zealand with ornamental leathery leaves and white daisy flowers. Requires a dryish well-drained site or a large pot.
Upright evergreen ornamental grass, close relative to 'Karl Forester', however with cream and green linear markings on each leaf. Useful for variation of visual texture in grass plantings, attractive upright seedheads.
Late summer flowering variety with fine petalled soft blue flowers, clumping and non invasive. Combine with deschampsia, echinacea, sedums and eupatorium.
An old fashioned cottage garden variety, long in circulation but now at the risk of disappearing along with so many other varieties. Cushion forming clumper, for border or rock garden, attractive two toned semi double flowers in crimson and pink.
Spectacular clumping Iris for pond sides and moisture retentive soils, big blue flowers in summer. For grouped plantings plant 20-25cm apart for best results.
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.
This is the best variety for drying and essential oil production, as it has a higher than usual oil concentrate in the leaves. Used in the production of cosmetics and fragrances.
Dark-blue flowered shrubby species with attractive dimpled leaves like Viburnum rhytidophyllum. Pinch out new tips in the first year to encourage bushy growth.
Old fashioned blue mop top hydrangea, needs acid soil to colour up well. Will go towards pink in alkaline soil.
Classical double white border carnation, with good fragrance and vigourous growth. Long lasting plant for rock garden or border. Cut back occasionally.
