The beautiful white form of Dierama pulcherimmum. The white bells hang from slender arching stems that move gracefully in the breeze; a lovely subject for a pond or border.
Terrific long flowering agastache, distinct from Blue Boa with narrower conical flowers and more blue in colour. Prefers open drainage and good soil, as per other agastache.
Useful and prolific evergreen ground cover, flowering in winter and spring. Clear blue flowers, useful as mass plantings.
Popular in Mediterranean dishes combining well with bay, rosemary and sage flavours. Also a attractive cottage garden plant if you like mixing your herbs and flowers.
Tall lemon and lime pokers fade to ivory as the individual buds open. A pleasant and subtle colour combination that contrasts well with the dark foliage of Anthryscus "Ravens Wing".
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.
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.
Tall white phlox with delicious perfume, flowering in summer. Best in fertile conditions protected from afternoon sun.
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.
Portugese form of the pink rosemary, more true pink than Majorca pink and less upright, bushier and lower growing.
Temperate bromeliad from Chile for sunny well drained position, also good in pots. The grey green rosette transforms to brilliant red when the wonderful azure flower appears. Likes winter wet and summer dry in our climate. Avoid clay.
Native to Mexico where it is now extinct in the wild. Otherwise known as chocolate cosmos, the flowers have a scent like chocolate. Best in fertile, well drained soil in a perennial border.
Improved form with wider leaf blades than the species and larger inflorescence. A beautiful plant for larger spaces.
Division grown cultivar with better autumn colour than the species, bad name for a good plant. Vertical foliage to waist high and attractive flower heads in late summer.
Ground covering alpine plant for rock garden or above a dry-stone wall. Rich pink flowers completely cover the entire plant so foliage is obscured, protect from excessive winter wet.
