Dietes grandiflora
Evergreen plant from the iris family often used for mass planting. White flowers and strappy foliage, native of South Africa. Tough and easy but not for wet and heavy soil.
Lovely pale blue flowers in spires over glossy foliage make this a popular cottage garden plant for sun or part shade. Best in clumps amongst roses, or salvias in a position that's not too hot with plenty of mulch.

Evergreen plant from the iris family often used for mass planting. White flowers and strappy foliage, native of South Africa. Tough and easy but not for wet and heavy soil.
A delightful variety for moist fertile soil in shade or part sun, pink flowers and good clumping habit, looks good in both woodland and herbaceous border plantings.
A distinctly different kniphofia producing a tall inflorescence, with sparsely spaced apricot to pale orange flowers down the stem. Beautiful when combined with Stipa gigantea.
One of my favourite salvias, which always looks great in the autumn. The flowers are lime-green and in exhuberant clusters like something tropical. Responds well to good soil.
Cushion-forming plant from Chile for the rockgarden or trough. Great around stones, spreads horizontally to form a tight mat.
Deep pink armeria, combining well with other miniatures in full sun. Helianthemums, Campanula pulla, Saxifaga caespitosa, and Thymus minimus all combine well.
A wonderful texture plant for the border, with literally hundreds of dark purple pompoms on tall stems in late summer. Not fussy, and flowers over a long period.
Seed grown plants from our white flowered form, with dark purple leaves. All plants have purple leaves, with a variation from cream to light blue flowers.
Mound forming succulent for sunny dry areas, pots or rock garden; best if kept dry. Attractive leaves in rosettes.
Classic old-fashioned cottage perennial with red flowers. I like to combine these with Rudbeckia "Goldsturm" for contrast.
Low growing sedum with cascading habit, ideal for bank or over wall. Rose pink to ruby flowers in summer.
A lovely variation on 'Bicolor' with copper two tone flowers for much of winter. Perennial wallflowers require good drainage and dont like it too wet.
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.
One our favourite new grasses, waist high flowers with rich green foliage, creating good mounding fill and texture within summer perennial plantings. Grows best on heavier fertile soils, and responds well to moisture in summer if available, but not overly demanding.
We have selected this form for its showy larger than usual flowers and longer stem, which suits cutting for floral arrangements. To get the best out of these, plenty of fertility and moisture, shade to part sun.
Delightful soft pink variety with single flowers for semi shade. A spreading plant useful for mass planting and ground cover beneath deciduous trees.
