Geranium 'Kashmir White'
A very good white form of Geranium clarkei with large flowers. Carpeting habit, prefers open soil.
Classic old-fashioned cottage perennial with red flowers. I like to combine these with Rudbeckia "Goldsturm" for contrast.

Data sheet
A very good white form of Geranium clarkei with large flowers. Carpeting habit, prefers open soil.
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.
Terrific tall variety, white flowering. Basal foliage produces dozens of 2m flower spikes, superb summer flowering background, plant in heavier fertile soil, shorter in less ideal conditions.
Campanula punctata type with semi double flowers, tall panicles, elegant and lovely. Spreading habit, frost and drought hardy.
Remarkable double white parma violet, sweetly perfumed and delicious. Plant as ground cover in shade under trees, combine with helleborus, anemone, dicentra, and epimedium. Similar to 'Swanley White' but as we have collected these from different sources we have listed separately.
Double peachy pink carnation with full large flowers on medium stems. Fragrant and long lasting in the garden.
Variation of the usual blue forms, this one likes similar damp conditions in shade, forming a low spreading groundcover
Bloodroot. An ancient perennial and medicinal plant used by the native American people, it is very toxic and should not be used without professional consultaton. We grow it as an ornamental groundcover in woodland with hostas, epimedium and dicentra, it is deciduous with white flowers.
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....
Prolific carpeting ground cover flowering in spring, along with phlox, auriculas, and pulsatilla. They look best tumbling over a wall or in a rock garden where they get good sun and drainage.
Allium like plant with pink flowers and grassy foliage, tough and long lived, often used in cottage gardens and border plantings
Attractive perennial resembling a veronica in flower, with showy deep pink flower spikes and sage like leaves. A versatile plant for border or cottage garden.
A clumping Campanula persicifolia with full pure white double flowers. Lovely in between roses with Geranium 'Rozanne'. Easy to manage and non-invasive.
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.
Perennial grass from USA, an attractive textural variant for grass plantings. Can be invasive in sandy soils but no problem in our heavy clay.
A vigorous ornamental allium with large pinkish purple spherical flowers on tall wiry stems. Attractive in mass border plantings or in parterre gardens, also a much sought after cut flower. Can self seed so trim off unwanted seed heads when flowers have lost colour.
