A useful border allium, flowering in mid summer, producing tall stems topped with spherical heads, about the size of crab apples. These begin green, then as the season progresses, burgundy colouration gradually extends down until the balls are entirely coloured. Best planted closely as a clump for good effect.

Data sheet
One of the first perennials my mother gave me, a delightful old fashioned ground cover for under roses, where it will remain well behaved forever, or until overgrown by an invasive neighbour. Easily revived and transplanted however, and not to be confused with 'Claridge Druce' or other inferior Geranium oxonianum hybrids.
Wonderful evergreen shrub from New Zealand with ornamental leathery leaves and white daisy flowers. Requires a dryish well-drained site or a large pot.
Classical double white border carnation, with good fragrance and vigourous growth. Long lasting plant for rock garden or border. Cut back occasionally.
Evergreen plant from the iris family often used for mass planting. White flowers and strappy foliage, native of South Africa. Tough and easy but not for wet and heavy soil.
Later season Aster laterifolius cultivar with dark foliage and pink flowers. A attractive foliage variation and mounding habit has a soft effect. Great in meadow style plantings with other perennials.
Compact non-invasive clumping perennial with tall white flowers and grey green foliage. Like other lysimachia, these prefer fertile moisture retentive, clay based soils.
Shade loving variety with delicate soft pink flowers in summer. Use as background planting to hostas and hellebores for summer display.
A strong variety of bluebells that will colonize well in areas of shade or part sun, active mid winter and flowering spring to early summer, potted cluster of bulbs.
A compact low growing variety for foreground plantings, only just over knee high and easier to manage than some of the larger kniphofia. Colourful lemon yellow flowers in summer look good with rudbeckia, grasses and sedums.
Terrific ornamental grass which has not shown any seedling to date, which makes it a very welcome addition as a foliage filler. The foliage is nicely mounding, evergreen and knee high, and the red pompom flower heads have almost the effect of a sanguisorba, later fading to a pleasant straw colour until mid winter providing an effective textural effect....
Bold plant for hot dry banks and rocky places where nothing else will thrive. Tall spires of decorative blue flowers in summer. Bees love echiums!
The deep orange pokers appear in mid summer with gaillardias, heleniums and rudbeckias. A shorter manageable variety that forms an evergreen mound of foliage. Easy to grow on most soil types.
A popular and easily grown culinary herb that will form an excellent ground cover and cascade over a bank or wall.
Spreading species from Ethiopia, useful for ground-cover in larger gardens. Suckers like a wild strawberry when happy, prefers part shade or clay based moisture-retentive soils.
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.
Cushion plant suitable for thyme lawns, trough, and rockgarden plantings with pink flowers. Aromatic when crushed.
