Data sheet
Vigourous pink flowered strain from Barb Jennings, tall stems and more drought resistant than others we have tried.
Old fashioned auricula, with petals red fading into strawberry and coral. Fertilise lightly with a mix of dolomite, potash and dynamic lifter.
White form of 'Catmint', effective path edging plant or combined with lavender and santolina in the cottage garden. Low growing, ground covering. Trim off dead flowers to extend flowering period.
Perennial verbena, more leafy and bushy than Verbena bonariensis, a good summer border plant with rich colour. Cut back foliage to avoid harbouring mildew in autumn.
Upright evergreen ornamental grass, close relative to 'Karl Forester', however with cream and green linear markings on each leaf. Useful for variation of visual texture in grass plantings, attractive upright seedheads.
From Georgia and the western Caucases a lovely tall herbaceous paeony with cream flowers on tall stems. A wonderful plant for cut flowers & the large leaves are most attractive. Requires good soils and a touch of lime.
Evergreen rosette-forming penstemon with a tidy appearance and tall spikes of apricot flowers from summer to autumn.
A long stemmed form suitable for picking. Violet blue flowers in winter and early spring.
'Lily of the valley'. Clump forming and easy perennial for shade or part sun, sweetly fragrant bells in spring.
One of the tallest thalictrum with both wonderful foliage and flower display. Good in shade or part sun, prominent background plant, one of the best varieties we have grown.
One of the best summer perennials for the border that flowers well into dry summer periods. Deep blue flower spikes contrasting with dark stems. Frost hardy and deciduous, cut back after first flowering for a repeat flowering later in the season. Taller than other forms.
A bushy low growing variety with good blue flowers, ideally planted as path edgings or massed beneath roses or in grouped foreground plantings amongst other perennials. Repeat flowers well, so chop hard after first flowering to freshen up and will repeat flower 4 weeks later.
Beautiful grey foliage variety with musk pink flowers in early summer. Trim as lavenders and salvia.
Semi prostrate medium blue form with cascading habit, useful winter flowering ground cover.
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.
Single white campanula; simple and beautiful, yet easily grown and long-lived. Like most campanulas, it dislikes excessive leaf litter on the crowns in winter.
Pink Siberian iris which combines well with white colour schemes. Useful for in-fill between roses or in the mixed border.
