Strong landscaping variety with bushy growth ideal for mass planting or hedges. Blue flowers in summer and drought tolerant once established.
Old fashioned blue mop top hydrangea, needs acid soil to colour up well. Will go towards pink in alkaline soil.
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.
Attractive foliage like a Corydalis with a distinct grey-blue tinge and cream flowers in spring. Useful under trees with hellebores and hostas.
Double white form, sweetly fragrant and lovely. Easy and clumping like other forms, best used in shade as ground cover.
An alternative to 'Walkers Low', when a slightly taller variety is required. Lilac mauve flowers through summer, nepeta will repeat flower if trimmed occasionally.
Ancient herb and attractive border perennial flowering in summer. This is the red flowered form of bergamot, easy in rich clay based soils.
Traditional white mop top Hydrangea, flowers do not discolour with pH variation, plants form a good low hedge or border in shady conditions.
Evergreen mounding ground cover with grey foliage and white daisy flowers from spring into summer.
Prolific mid season flowering verbena which combines well in meadow plantings amongst other perennials, the dark stems and foliage look particularly good in full sun with summer colours.
Medium height with stongly vertical stems of rich pink flowers in summer, easy plant for the cottage garden.
Cascades of beautiful silvery plumes in autumn. Vigorous and clump forming. Allow space to show off its best qualities. Combines well with Perovskia and Stipa arundinacea.
A beautiful variety with silver and reddish flower heads that stand well above the foliage and last into winter. Like other varieties, cut down to ground level in winter every few years.
Rarely seen white form, similar cultivation as for the usual mauve form in part shade.
The usual form is silver but this variety has purple tinted leaves. Great in a large pot or tub, alternatively in the rock garden or border. Prefers well drained soil.
My friend Paulette grew these from seed, and these are cutting raised plants from selected seedlings. Apparently the flowers are edible, I love the perfume and they flower forever with no fuss. Best in border or rock garden, rich pink flowers.
Our own double purple which we have increased from division. Best in well drained conditions in a pot or the rock garden.
