Aconitum vulparia
Unusual Aconitum with glossy attractive foliage and pale lemon flowers on upright stems. Clump forming and easy in shade.
My favourite new salvia for border, rose-garden or mass planting. White flowers enveloped by a royal purple calyx on a vigourous plant that"s not too big, but not too small. Grows well in large containers providing you remember to water.

Unusual Aconitum with glossy attractive foliage and pale lemon flowers on upright stems. Clump forming and easy in shade.
A low growing, pure white aster that flowers well in summer, without requiring much in the way of water and staking. Best in a mixed perennial border, or between roses combined with geraniums and campanulas.
One of my favourite salvias, which always looks great in the autumn. The flowers are lime-green and in exhuberant clusters like something tropical. Responds well to good soil.
Two toned gold and lime green green leaf that darkens as the season progresses. Attractive contrast with other varieties.
Pretty variety that begins soft yellow then fades as the flowers age. Prolific flowering during winter, liking drained soils and drying out a little in summer. Cut back fairly hard early summer to around 2/3 to half height to keep compact. Looks terrific in mass plantings like all the wallflowers.
Prolific and long flowering variety from Chiapas province Mexico, with glossy elliptical leaves and dozens of magenta pink flowers. A tidy attractive plant that will repeat flower if trimmed occasionally. Best in the cottage garden amongst other perennials or roses.
Close relative of Echinacea angustifolia, also used in herbal medicine, sharing many similarities. I find it a better garden plant, more vigorous and productive in growth, and manages better in winter wet.
A pretty covering clematis that looks good tumbling over a wall or embankment. Likes alkaline free draining soil and flowers for a long time, compact and abundant.
A pretty variety we raised a few years ago from experimental crosses, with some creative contributions from our staff for the name. Good clumping habit and a subtle colour.
Native to Japan, a lower growing variety with attractive lobed leaves and pink bottlebrush flowers. In Australia part shade is best, on fertile clay or moisture retentive soil.
Terrific ornamental grass which has not shown any seedling to date, which makes it a very welcome addition as a foliage filler. The foliage is nicely mounding, evergreen and knee high, and the red pompom flower heads have almost the effect of a sanguisorba, later fading to a pleasant straw colour until mid winter providing an effective textural effect....
A superb and versatile plant from New Zealand with completely silver, flax-like foliage. Makes a bold statement in the mixed border with sedums and euphorbias or can be grown in gravel with succulents and alpine plants. Also a great pot plant.
Medium hydrangea with large heads of blue lacecaps. Note all blue hydrangea need acid soil to produce correct colouring; in alkaline soil they will tend toward pink.
Reddish purple foliage variety; flowers in mixed colours from orange to red. A welcome addition to the summer border, providing some colourful foliage variation.
Pure white flowers over fresh green fern-like foliage in spring. Useful beneath trees in semi-shade.
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.
