Special unusual mounding variety from mountains of Turkey and Armenia, for the rock garden or border. Likes it rocky but fertile and ensure drained not acid soil and plenty of grit, very cold tolerant and tough once established. Flowers start green then age pink with onset of cold nights.
Early summer flowering resembling a blue aster, but flowering for much longer period and all round more contained and well behaved. Likes fertile drained soil
Beautiful silver variegated form of the "Solomons Seal", each leaf lined with a white line around its outer edge. Easy to grow in shade under trees and shrubs.
One of the best summer perennials for the border that flowers well into dry summer periods. Deep blue flower spikes contrasting with dark stems. Frost hardy and deciduous, cut back after first flowering for a repeat flowering later in the season. Taller than other forms.
Select large flowered form of the species, vigorous and long flowering. Medium height bushy plant, earlier than asters but works to same effect amongst other perennials.
A clumping Campanula persicifolia with full pure white double flowers. Lovely in between roses with Geranium 'Rozanne'. Easy to manage and non-invasive.
Reddish purple foliage variety; flowers in mixed colours from orange to red. A welcome addition to the summer border, providing some colourful foliage variation.
Terrific long flowering agastache, distinct from Blue Boa with narrower conical flowers and more blue in colour. Prefers open drainage and good soil, as per other agastache.
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.
Tall spiky plant with silver spherical heads. Great for flower arrangements and texture in the summer border. Best with morning sun only and enough water during summer.
This is a rivale cultivar perfect for foreground plantings in the cottage garden or perennial border. Apricot and peach tones, a great little plant we found in Wales in the mid 90's.
A wonderful Geum kept in circulation by Dennis Norgate; vibrant tangerine orange, repeat flowers throughout the year and non seeding.
An upright form with large florets and strong stems, much favoured by flower arrangers for its prolific habit. Distinctive from other varieties because of its larger than usual flowers.
A tall variety with large hanging bells similar in shape to Campanula takesimana but rich purple in colour. Will often repeat flower in the autumn. Clumping plant.
Easily grown in sun or part shade, the "Lady"s Mantle" is a lovely old fashioned plant for between roses, or for the herbaceous border. Cut back lightly after flowering to promote new foliage.
