Data sheet
Upright grass colouring well in autumn. Favoured by contemporary designers for winter colour and structure.
Spectacular climber with lime bells followed by purple berries. Trim at early stage to maintain bushy habit and abundant flowering. Native to Tasmania in eucalyptus under-storey, often found with Clematis aristata and Pomaderris elliptica.
Medium height violet aster, prolific flowering in autumn. Easy cultivation as with other varieties
The orange oriental perennial poppy, originally from Turkey. The blooms are impressive, and in good conditions the plant will make a large perennial clump in only a few years. Remove the first flower and avoid acid soils.
Can often be bicoloured, usually blue and purple depending on soil pH pink if alkaline. Fluffy rounded flower heads, vigorous long flowering.
A ground govering variety with coral red flowers in spring on wiry stems. Good for floral work and easy amongst geraniums and campanulas.
Low growing variety with pink tinged foliage, bee attracting summer flowering.
Effective ground covering plant with blue flowers and glossy foliage. Combine with alchemillas, epimediums, hellebores and pachysandra.
Old fashioned auricula, with petals red fading into strawberry and coral. Fertilise lightly with a mix of dolomite, potash and dynamic lifter.
Lowest growing of all the miscanthus, at around knee high, a very versatile and useful foreground filler that wont seed, and looks great with sedums, echinacea, salvia and rudbeckia. Winter foliage has pretty rusty pink tones. Give it nice soil, being a smaller one its fast growing as the big ones.
A very attractive Euphorbia with vivid orange flowers contrasting the deep green foliage. Best on fertile open soil with some room.
White flowers suffused with the palest lilac, darkest at the tips. Tall stems great for flower arranging. Amongst my current favourites.
Papaver Choir Boy produces beautiful white poppies with black central blotches, grow in fertile moisture retentive clay based soil and allow to dry out over late summer. Not for pots.
Low growing rivale type with a long flowering period, good for path edging or foreground beds, these do best in heavier soils with some fertility, but in good soil are drought hardy and will take some summer heat.
Low growing plant for shade or part shade, with spreading ground covering habit and porcelian blue flowers. Prefers open textured soil and easily divided once established, combines well with other woodland plants like anemone, rodgersia, and epimedium.
A good salvia for open positions where it gets plenty of sun. Long flowering from mid summer onwards with literally hundreds of light blue flowers. Trim back annually like a lavender for best long term results.
