Geranium sanguineum 'Album'
A more elegant plant than the type forming a compact mound of foliage covered in large pure white flowers during summer. Performs well in a rockgarden or mixed border situation in full to part sun.
Eupatorium maculatum 'Gateway'
Spectacular background border plant, where it will make a good show during summer with sufficent moisture. Attractive flowers in clusters, purple stems like Angelica gigas.
Artemesia 'Valerie Finnis'
Soft grey foliage spreading ground cover for most soils and dry conditions. Will fill nicely amongst verbascum, geraniums and carpet under roses.
Helenium autumnale
Heleniums are the mainstay of summer togeather with miscanthus, sedums and perovskia. They need virtually no water and put on a great display in our border despite being completely neglected. This is the wild occurring yellow flowered form.
Aquilegia 'Kristall'
Aquilegia caerulea cultivar, long spurred pure white flowers in spring. Aquilegias look lovely in mass plantings under trees in a woodland setting.
Senecio serpens 'Blue Chalk'
Spreading succulent from South Africa with attractive blue grey foliage, useful when landscaping dry areas. Avoid winter wet or excessive irrigation.
Kniphofia 'Poco Lemon' dwarf
A compact low growing variety for foreground plantings, only just over knee high and easier to manage than some of the larger kniphofia. Colourful lemon yellow flowers in summer look good with rudbeckia, grasses and sedums.
Dicentra spectabilis
The true "bleeding heart", for well drained soil in a protected shady garden, native to China. Protect emerging shoots in early spring from pets and snails, cut back after flowering for a second flush of growth.
Rosmarinus officianalis 'Herb Cottage'
This is the best variety for drying and essential oil production, as it has a higher than usual oil concentrate in the leaves. Used in the production of cosmetics and fragrances.
Paeonia tenuifolia
A wild Paeonia from the Caucasus from Ukraine to Romania with deep tomato red flowers and finely dissected foliage. This is a dwarf species which prefers fertile but drained conditions, and needs to dry off in summer after the growing period. A rare treasure.
Campanula glomerata 'Nana'
I found this little treasure at Woodbank nursery several years ago. It is a very compact, low plant with impressive large clusters of purple trumpets. Non-invasive and perfect for the rock garden or trough.
Primula auricula 'Susannah'
A lovely old double pink auricula which we have increased from division. Best in well drained conditions in a pot or the rock garden.
Euphorbia sikkimensis
Himalayan species, with attractive pink stems & foliage. The lime green flowers form an interesting contrast.
Santolina Primrose Gem
Useful low mounding variety for a mediterranean planting style or gravel garden, combining well with erysimum, euphorbia, perovskia and lavender. Trim after flowering.
Salvia apiana
A wonderful new grey foliage variety with lilac flowers, which eventually turns into a small shrub. Very drought tolerant and evergreen throughout the year. Treat like a lavender with a light trim after flowering.
