Data sheet
A beautiful variety with silver and reddish flower heads that stand well above the foliage and last into winter. Like other varieties, cut down to ground level in winter every few years.
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.
Can often be bicoloured, usually blue and purple depending on soil pH pink if alkaline. Fluffy rounded flower heads, vigorous long flowering.
Still one of the most graceful cultivars with deep blue flowers edged silver.
Old fashioned white 'cup and saucer' type, easy and clumping like other persicifolia types; only few in stock.
A lower compact form that is brilliant for massed foreground plantings at 40cm high. These cheerful flowers combine well with other summer flowering perennials like echinacea, sedums, salvias, and perennial grasses. Ideal in coastal and Mediterranean climates.
Choice evergreen Iris from Greece and Turkey with blue flowers like Iris reticulata. Our stock plants grow well in a sunny south-facing rockgarden.
A superb variety, flowering long into autumn with rich indigo flowers. Tip prune young plants to encourage bushy form before flowering. Ideal with roses and in cottage gardens.
A wild Paeonia from the Caucasus from Ukraine to Romania with deep tomato red flowers and finely dissected foliage. This is a dwarf species which prefers fertile but drained conditions, and needs to dry off in summer after the growing period. A rare treasure.
I found this little treasure at Woodbank nursery several years ago. It is a very compact, low plant with impressive large clusters of purple trumpets. Non-invasive and perfect for the rock garden or trough.
Clump forming perennial loosely resembling a diplarrhena or iris. Prefers part shade amongst other plants, ideal under roses or in a mixed border or cottage garden. White flowers in summer.
A great bulb from South Africa producing hot red blooms in summer. Great with heleniums, salvias, etc.
A useful evergreen ground cover from Japan for shade and woodland plantings. White flowers, attractive glossy green foliage; combine with epimediums.
Sky blue hydrangea, lighter in bud. In neutral or alkaline soil it tends to be light pink. Note all blue hydrangea need acid soil to produce correct colouring; in alkaline soil they will tend toward pink.
Sweetly fragrant variety with pink feathered flowers and silver cushion forming foliage.
Remarkable silver foliage plant, with vigourous trailing groundcovering habit; suits hanging basket or drystone wall. Extremely tough and adaptable.
