Perennial temperate grass with bamboo like foliage, wider bladed than miscanthus and more stout and rounded in form. Valuable for landscaping and mass planting. Native to Northern China, Manchura and Siberia, prefers a cooler position.
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.
Old fashioned double primrose for part sun or shade in good soil. We never have many of these regretfully
Improved form with wider leaf blades than the species and larger inflorescence. A beautiful plant for larger spaces.
Rich red flowered form from a strain we grew ten years ago. Thanks to Judy for some fresh seed to enable us to get this strain back into production.
Attractive variation which flowers rich musk pink then fades to a soft pink, creating a lovely two tone effect.
Spreading perennial for moist areas with attractive musk-pink drumstick flowers in summer. Best result in cooler climates with morning sun on fertile soil.

Spectacular clumping Iris for pond sides and moisture retentive soils, big blue flowers in summer. For grouped plantings plant 20-25cm apart for best results.
Light blue form with larger flowers than the wild variety. Easy to grow and lovely in spring.
