Reputedly more blue than others, we find these echinops, contrary to their appearance, are best situated in a cooler position with only part day sun. To yield their best, plant in fertile drained soil and a sheltered position.
Leafy plant from saxifragaceae family, useful for ground cover in dry shade where acanthus and euphorbia can take over. Good drainage and neutral to alkaline soils preferred.
A splendid shrubby variety that will attain a height of 5 ft if given the space. The flowers are deep red with a contrasting black calyx, which is a striking effect when viewed from a distance. Trim back in early summer before flowering if you have limited space or prefer a more compact plant.
Our own variety which we have multiplied from division, flame orange fading into chesnut brown.
Unusual Aconitum with glossy attractive foliage and pale lemon flowers on upright stems. Clump forming and easy in shade.

Aquilegia caerulea cultivar, long spurred pure white flowers in spring. Aquilegias look lovely in mass plantings under trees in a woodland setting.

Tall member of the Umbelliferae family with ornamental dark foliage and contrasting white flowers like 'Queen Annes lace'. Easy cottage garden perennial for soil with some moisture retention.

Improved strain of Echinacea purpurea with large flowers without the usual drooping petals. Not bred by us but still worth having!
Single, white flowered variety, shrubby in form, large flowers and strong growth habit. Clips nicely to form a mound of foliage or low hedge.
