Ancient herb and attractive border perennial flowering in summer. This is the red flowered form of bergamot, easy in rich clay based soils.
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.
Tall, sun loving perennial for the herbaceous border and cottage garden, providing lasting structure and a long show of golden ochre flowers. Plant with heleniums, day lilies, iris and salvias.
Spectacular background border plant, where it will make a good show during summer with sufficent moisture. Attractive flowers in clusters, purple stems like Angelica gigas.
Traditional hedging plant which looks good all year round and forms compact tight growth. Ideal for edging pathways, borders and formal plantings.
Prolific carpeting ground cover flowering in spring, along with phlox, auriculas, and pulsatilla. They look best tumbling over a wall or in a rock garden where they get good sun and drainage.
One of the better varieties we have grown, with upright stems and soft pink flowers. A lasting vigourous plant with attractive evergreen grey felted foliage. Imported by Plant Hunters, few only.
Aquilegia caerulea cultivar, long spurred sky blue flowers with white centres, like a softer version of 'Magpie'.
A wonderful lime green variety, which visitors always comment on when in flower. A tidy plant that flowers for a long time and doesn't get too tall for the border.
One of the few primrose-coloured salvias, medium height and prefers part shade. Combines well with perennials in the summer border or between roses.
One of the best achillea for foliage structure, the flowers are at their best pre colouring when the combination of grey flower buds and silvery foliage provide a lovely texture amongst summer perennials.
A dense growing multi stemmed variety prized for topiary and hedging, featured at Sissinghurst Castle. Bright blue flowers.
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.
Drought hardy silver foliage plant for topiary and background, use in place of Italian lavenders which are disappointing and die out after a few years. Attractive blue flowers, drought tolerant.
A vigorous semi double windflower for part or full shade, spreads well in mass planting or individually in shady garden corners or under deciduous shrubs. Flowers late summer.
Delightful white starry variety for perennial border and cottage garden, flowering in late summer. Tall arching stems, perfect infill between salvia, helenium, lupins, roses, also useful for floral work.
Coral red trumpets with a white throat. Prolific, attractive and long flowering.
