Resembles Euphorbia martinii in flowering, having a reddish brown spot within the green bract. Closer in habit to Euphorbia wulfennii, this a more dependable garden plant, proving itself as long lived in a variety of dry situations.
Spectacular tall salvia from Mexico, with long canes topped with coral pink flowers in late summer. I particularly like the large, tropical-looking felted leaves.
We grow this evergreen variety as a ground cover in full to part sun, visitors frequently comment on its attractive appearance. The pink flowers over the pewter purple foliage are a pleasing contrast, and the plant has an effective ground covering habit. Requires reasonable drainage.
A terrific low growing variety for foreground plantings, only just over knee high and easier to manage than some of the larger kniphofia. Colourful burnt orange flowers in summer look good with rudbeckia, grasses and sedums.
An old fashioned cottage garden variety, long in circulation but now at the risk of disappearing along with so many other varieties. Cushion forming clumper, for border or rock garden, attractive two toned semi double flowers in crimson and pink.
Traditional hedging plant which looks good all year round and forms compact tight growth. Ideal for edging pathways, borders and formal plantings.
One of the most attractive grey foliage varieties we have grown, thanks to Lambley Nursery for distributing this wonderful plant. Soft primrose flowers, much more versatile and easier to place than the stronger colour of Phlomis fruticosa.
Old fashioned auricula, with petals red fading into strawberry and coral. Fertilise lightly with a mix of dolomite, potash and dynamic lifter.
A Sedum spectabile cultivar with dark terracotta red flowers. Upright habit, always reliable for late summer and autumn colour.
Early summer flowering perennial for border and rock garden, ideal with dianthus, scleranthus and other cushion forming plants. White flowers.
A beautiful Allium x rosenbachianum cultivar with tall stems topped with purple spherical flowers, requires good drainage in sun and to dry off in summer
Carpeting ground cover with violet purple flowers, good amongst stones, over a wall, and in the rock garden with miniature bulbs.
The best white persicaria we have tried, as with Taurus and others, these will flower in summer but good much and soil fertility will ensure their best performance. Waist high or fraction higher in moister conditions, basal foliage with drifts of vertical white spikes. We like to plant these in clumped groups of 5 or 9 at 25cm spacings for best effect.
A robust cold-hardy species from the Balkan peninsula, this salvia is versatile: happy in both warm and very cold climates. If temperatures drop below -5 C the plants will become deciduous, however can remain evergreen in warmer climes. Violet purple flowers and attractive greyish hairy leaves.
Pig Face. Excellent ground-covering succulent for banks and mass planting. Withstands dry conditions.
Bold foliage plant for moist areas with exotic foliage, native to Myanmar and Tibet. Extremely cold hardy, best grown along with other moisture loving plants on a pond margin or in part shade woodland environment. Associates well with filipendulas, astilbes, gunneras and primulas.
