Data sheet
Delightful variety from Wychwood, lovely range of foliage colour including greys, purples and pinks. Distinct from 'Matrona' and 'Purple Emperor', with lower more branched form. Looks good all year both in pots and in the ground. My favourite sedum.
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.
Attractive glossy foliage plant for shade, use as mass plantings for ground cover or grouped as specimens. Likes free draining soil in a cool position, very tough however once established, evergreen. Flowers unexciting, we usually chop off to feature the beautifully attractive leaves which can get to 20cm across.
Attractive dark stemmed form of Hydrangea macrophylla, flowers can vary from blue in acid soil or pink in alkaline. Old fashioned mop top flowers, good for floral work.
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.
A cross between Geranium dalmaticum and G. macrorrhizum with good ground-covering habit and compact growth. A useful landscaping plant which looks tidy for most of the year. The flowers are white to pale pink and held well above the evergreen green foliage. Also good in pots.
Gracefully weeping evergreen grass colouring bronze and silver in autumn. Useful as foreground to more upright varieties like Miscanthus "Sarabande" and Calamagrostis "Karl Forester".
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.
Double white form, sweetly fragrant and lovely. Easy and clumping like other forms, best used in shade as ground cover.
White flowers suffused with the palest lilac, darkest at the tips. Tall stems great for flower arranging. Amongst my current favourites.
White outward-facing bell flowers clustered on tall stems over a rosette of bright green foliage make this a very attractive garden plant. A suitable ground-cover for colonising difficult areas, particularly in the wild garden where it can be left to ramble freely.
Lavandula officianalis (syn. angustifolia) . Like 'Hidecote' but a more intense darker purple colour with slightly shorter flower spikes.
Pretty variety with numerous sprays of lilac flowers, very prolific in autumn.
Low carpeting silver foliage cotton lavender, resembling a compact version of Santolina chaecyparissus. Brilliant in gravel gardens and mediterranean style plantings when combined with grasses, euphorbia, rosmarinus and erysimum.
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.
Native to the Pyrenees, a good blue variety forming a rounded mound of foliage and flowers in mid-summer. Combines well with Geranium 'Mavis Simpson' and sedums. Ensure planting in ground: not good in pots.
