Data sheet
The beautiful 'snakes head' Fritillaria. Easy to grow but requires drainage, moderate fertility with organic matter content in the soil and a cool position. Best in part shade in the rockgarden, or in a large pot or raised bed. Colour can vary from pink to purple, rarely but occasionally white.
A robust self supporting Nepeta for the sunny border flowering for most of summer. Easier to manage than N. "Six Hills Giant" and great for mass plantings in place of lavenders.
A very beautiful plant with unusual white arching flower spikes. The foliage colours well in colder areas; both flowers and foliage are a delight for the flower arranger. Allow some room as plants will clump out substantially in a few years. Sun or dappled shade on moist soil.
Deep pink hydrangea, flatter lacecap type like 'Tokyo Delight'; note pink varieties are less affected by soil pH than blue varieties.
A vigourous long lived variety for ground cover in shady areas. The new foliage often has attractive tinges of red veining, and the flowers are a creamy yellow. As with other varieties, best on well drained soil. Cold and drought hardy, wildlife resistant.
Dome-forming clumper for the rockgarden or border, flowering profusely during summer with mounds of purple bells. Non-invasive and generally tidy when not in flower. Dislikes acid soil.
White form of Echinacea purpurea with attractive seedheads after flowering. Prolific and beautiful.
Prolific winter flowering perennial, fragrant purple flowers and bushy robust growth. Wall flowers are useful border plants, much valued for their evergreen nature and winter flowering habit.
Mounding grey foliage plant resembling ballota, useful for larger coastal gardens where it forms an effective ground cover with westringea, correa, prostrate rosmary and native grasses. Can also be grown as a low hedge if planted 80cm apart.
Close relative to Salvia nemorosa with wider leaves and violet purple flowers. Clumping plant, best cut down to refresh over winter, long flowering and suits mass planting.
Pink 'Pacific Giant' strain. Requires good soil and drainage to flourish. Delphiniums are best situated in an easterly aspect with morning sun only, protected from hot afternoon sun and drying wind.
Faded lilac purple, like old velvet. Subtle colour lovely in drifts with other varieties for tapestry of colours.
Tall, decorative late summer flowering purple biennial, introduced to us by Karen Hall. Treat like Angelica gigas, often takes three years to flower then self seeds.
Delicate soft pink shade of Helianthemum, equally as tough as other varieties. In the seventies these were fashionable, with dozens of named cultivars being available; sadly these wonderful plants have disappeared from mail order catalogues.
Rich pink variety, easy cottage garden plant flowering in autumn. Combine with ornamental grasses and sedums.
Parma type with sweet fragrance, soft lavender lilac double flowers, perfectly placed near a doorway or garden pathway where its subtle perfume can be appreciated.
