Aquilegia 'Lemon Star'
Long spurred lemon yellow aquilegia, probably derived from Aquilegia chrysantha. Elegant in part shade with hostas and ligularia.
A dark flowered seedling I selected at Richard Bramleys "Farmyard Nursery" in Wales. An improvement on "Moerheim Beauty", with deep orange red flowers in mid to late summer.

Long spurred lemon yellow aquilegia, probably derived from Aquilegia chrysantha. Elegant in part shade with hostas and ligularia.
A terrific low growing variety for foreground plantings, only just over knee high and easier to manage than some of the larger kniphofia. Colourful burnt orange flowers in summer look good with rudbeckia, grasses and sedums.
A soft ochre orange, brighter than 'Terracotta' and softer than 'Paprika'. The yarrows have so many lovely colour variations its hard to know where to stop with these!
This dwarf variety makes a great subject for a hanging basket or ground cover over a drystone wall. Lovely porcelain blue flowers in summer.
White flowered low spreading ground cover for full sun preferring loose drained soil types. Useful for foreground and border plantings.
I love helianthemums for their abundant flowering, and superb ground covering abilities in poor growing conditions. We found this as a chance seedling and thought it was worth naming and propagating.
A very useful groundcovering variety which forms strong colonies in even the most difficult dry areas. Pale blue flowers in spring and autumn.
A wonderful texture plant for the border, with literally hundreds of dark purple pompoms on tall stems in late summer. Not fussy, and flowers over a long period.
A great bulb from South Africa producing hot red blooms in summer. Great with heleniums, salvias, etc.
Old fashioned cottage plant with intense blue flowers, easily grown but best in clay based soil.
Outstanding grey foliage plant for rock garden, border, or mass planting. Contrasts well with colourful foliage like berberis and cotinus, or in combination with Salvia nemorosa varieties. Yellow button flowers through summer, trim off if not your colour scheme!
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.
A lovely variation on 'Bicolor' with copper two tone flowers for much of winter. Perennial wallflowers require good drainage and dont like it too wet.
An unusual bi-coloured iris with beautiful light blue flowers quite unlike anything I have ever seen. Imported from Cotswold Garden Flowers in 1999.
Lovely grape hyacinth for gardens or pots, vigourously clumping and easy, early spring flowering bulbs. Clump of flowered bulbs in each pot ready to plant.
Tall summer flowering perennial sunflower, combine with dahlias, rudbeckias and salvias.
