Data sheet
Vigourous pink flowered strain from Barb Jennings, tall stems and more drought resistant than others we have tried.
Temperate plant for dry shade with attractive silvery felted leaves, and ground covering habit. Best in well drained soil near trees, also a fine container plant.
Easily grown in sun or part shade, the "Lady"s Mantle" is a lovely old fashioned plant for between roses, or for the herbaceous border. Cut back lightly after flowering to promote new foliage.
Brightly coloured old fashioned cushion plant for border and rock garden, often known as 'thrift'. Often associated with coastal gardens, armeria thrive in a wide range of habitat and are both drought and frost tolerant.
A tall herbaceous euphorbia, most likely a descendant of Euphorbia sikkimensis, with attractive multicoloured foliage and lime green flowers. Frost and drought hardy, cut to the ground annually like Euphorbia sikkimensis.
Attractive mauve colour distinct from the usual pinks and blues, cultivation as per other nemorosa varieties, will repeat flower on good soil if trimmed hard after first flowering.
A pretty species which grows well in the garden. Reddish pink flared bells on 140 cm stems, native to the eastern Drakensberg region, where it is said to cover complete hillsides.
Low growing variety with pink tinged foliage, bee attracting summer flowering.
Windflowers are lovely in shaded woodland, an easy and reliable understorey beneath trees and shrubs. This is the pale pink form.
This variety has huge, fringed orange-red blooms, which rival paeonies for show and splendour! Only a few, available July onwards.
Richly coloured summer flowering achillea, begins as a deep burnt orange colour and will fade to a soft ochre.
Semi double almost black from our own breeding, vigorous and strong grower compared to others. Gravelly soil and full sun with some lime.
Rich red flowers that eventually fade to brick red, perfect with old fashioned roses and warm colours in the cottage garden or herbaceous border.
White flowered form with attractive pink anthers, stout branching habit, good perennial plant.
Improved strain of Echinacea purpurea with large flowers without the usual drooping petals. Not bred by us but still worth having!
White flowered delphinium. Classic old-fashioned cottage garden plant and cut flower, plant in a protected spot on well drained fertile soil and these will flower year after year. Squash any nearby snails when the shoots first emerge in spring.
