Panicum virgatum 'Rubrum'
Upright grass colouring well in autumn. Favoured by contemporary designers for winter colour and structure.
Much improved form of the regular white Siberean iris, with larger flowers and a stronger growth habit. Likes moist fertile soil, border or pond margin, we imported from the UK in mid 90s.

Shorter growing variety often more suited to smaller spaces and cottage gardens than taller Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'. Only knee high and combines well with sunny border foreground plantings of dianthus, geraniums and Salvia nemorosa.
The lowest growing of all the lambs ears, and a brilliant long lasting drought tolerant groundcover forming mats of velvety foliage maximum only 10cm tall. We use this extensively for edging borders and paths,and find it combines well with armeria, thymes, origanum rotundifolium, and dwarf bulbs.
A brilliant low grass with outstanding flowers and seedheads, suitable for massed foreground plantings in landscape design work or in clusters amongst other perennials. A slender plant so plant closely at 25cm for best results. Not self seeding in our trial stockbeds.
Lovely species with wine red bells on tall stems. Often the bracts are a silvery grey which contrast nicely with the darker bells. Needs fertile conditions
Old fashioned 'shasta daisy' with tall strong stems for picking, bullet proof plant that is reliably perennial and will grow almost anywhere.
A bushy form of Russells lupin with deep pink flowers, ideal between roses and in the perennial border. Pinch out first flower to develop multistemmed form.
A clumping Campanula persicifolia with full pure white double flowers. Lovely in between roses with Geranium 'Rozanne'. Easy to manage and non-invasive.
Silvery succulent, ideal in dry and exposed conditions including coastal situations. Flowers are coral pink during winter and the bushy form of this variety associates well with Stipa gigantea, aeoniums, fascicularia, and sedums.
Heleniums are the mainstay of summer togeather with miscanthus, sedums and perovskia. They need virtually no water and put on a great display in our border despite being completely neglected. This is the wild occurring yellow flowered form.
An interesting variety that begins white with a blue eye, then fades to a soft pink as the flowers age. As with other asters, strong and reliably flowering late summer. Upright bushy non collapsing habit.
Named after the inspiring Dutch landscape architect, a beautiful white form of Phlox paniculata. Cut all paniculata types back to the ground after flowering and they will respond with secondary growth much like oriental poppies.
Pure white Astilbe, a lovely contrasting variety when planted in combination with Astilbe 'Fanal'. Fresh green foliage and white spikes in early summer.
A good plant for medium to heavy soils, flowering in summer with sedums, echinacea, rudbeckia and heleniums; fills nicely in the perennial border and amongst ornamental grasses
Old fashioned pink variety for full sun, ideal between roses or for mass planting. Prolific grower and will grow well in clay or sandy soils.
Attractive cottage plant and popular medicinal plant also. Easily grown in well drained soil, best with added fertiliser.
