Helleborus hybridus 'Double White Seedlings'
Seed raised plants from self-pollinated flowers of "Betty Ranicar". Most of the plants will be double white, a few anemone-centred white and singles.
Classic old-fashioned cottage perennial with red flowers. I like to combine these with Rudbeckia "Goldsturm" for contrast.

A tall variety with large hanging bells similar in shape to Campanula takesimana but rich purple in colour. Will often repeat flower in the autumn. Clumping plant.
Pure white armeria, a lovely feature for a borders edge, or mixed cottage garden.
Summer flowering perennial with brightly coloured red and yellow flowers. Extremely tough, long lasting and dry tolerant once established, likes regular clay loam or regular garden soils, doesnt like sandy soil. Combines well in meadow garden plantings amongst grasses and perennials.
Useful and prolific evergreen ground cover, flowering in winter and spring. Clear blue flowers, useful as mass plantings.
Milky white rosette forming variety with pink flowers, attractive in clusters amongst Senecio serpens, sempervivums, and low growing sedums. A good variety for green roofs or amongst masonry.
A very beautiful plant with unusual white arching flower spikes. The foliage colours well in colder areas; both flowers and foliage are a delight for the flower arranger. Allow some room as plants will clump out substantially in a few years. Sun or dappled shade on moist soil.
Low carpeting silver foliage cotton lavender, resembling a compact version of Santolina chaecyparissus. Brilliant in gravel gardens and mediterranean style plantings when combined with grasses, euphorbia, rosmarinus and erysimum.
Choice evergreen Iris from Greece and Turkey with blue flowers like Iris reticulata. Our stock plants grow well in a sunny south-facing rockgarden.
The best dwarf "English" hedging lavender, which only grows to 60 cm or so. Trim after flowering to encourage bushy plants. Long-lived and not messy like other varieties.
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.
Vigourous form of white wind flower for shade or part sun, this is a variation with slightly narrower multiple layered petals. Drained fertile soils improve flowering performance.
Old fashioned "catmint", mostly used as a border or edging in cottage gardens. Soft blue flowers, trim lightly in mid summer for a repeat flower in autumn.
Commonly known as "Solomon"s Seal", a clumping perennial with attractive foliage and white flowers for shade or part sun.
A terrific Dahlia with massive blooms and a subtle faded soft pink colour like old roses. Only a few in stock.
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.
