Lupin 'Cabernet'
Delicious plum purple colour, mass plant in autumn with iris, delphiniums and Canterbury Bells for spring flowering.
Campanula punctata
Beautiful Japanese species with tall stems and large speckled pink bells. Best in the border where it can ramble freely between other perennials. Good cut flower.
Kniphofia 'Wols Red'
I spotted this dwarf poker in the UK years ago, where I was struck by its compact form and abundant hot-orange pokers. It is winter dormant and makes a good grassy mound of leaves when not in flower.
Viola odorata
A long stemmed form suitable for picking. Violet blue flowers in winter and early spring.
Veronica spicata Alba
White form of the blue 'speedwell', just as easy as the blue form. Both varieties are semi deciduous and respond well to cutting back.
Campanula persicifolia 'Telham Beauty'
Old fashioned blue campanula with tall stems forming a nice clump in time. Ideal between roses and a good cut flower.
Papaver orientale 'Koenigin Alexandra'
Large salmon-pink flowers with blackish-purple spotting. A vigorous free flowering variety which complements roses and paeonies.
Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant'
An alternative to 'Walkers Low', when a slightly taller variety is required. Lilac mauve flowers through summer, nepeta will repeat flower if trimmed occasionally.
Thymus pseudolanguinosum 'Wooly Thyme'
Woolly thyme, useful as a lawn thyme or amongst stones in a rockery or gravel garden. Tight compact habit and pink flowers. Dry tolerant.
Eryngium 'Glitter White'
A striking cut flower and useful mid summer texture plant between grasses, asters, echinacea, heleniums and sedums. Easy to cultivate, most effective in multiple 25cm spaced group plantings of 3, 5, 7 and upward for maximum impact.
Phlox 'Otley Choice'
Tall old fashioned pink phlox, requires good soil and fertility to thrive. Best situated in a sheltered cottage garden with morning sun.
Erigeron speciosus 'Grandiflorus'
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
Salvia nemorosa 'Violet Queen'
Spectacular summer flowering salvia for bedding and foreground plantings, frost hardy and perennial. Cut to ground in winter.
Verbascum 'Southern Charm'
Lovely variety with flower spikes in peach and apricot tones, like the colours of old fashioned roses. Clumping habit and long flowering.
Phlox subulata
Ground covering alpine plant for rock garden or above a dry-stone wall. Rich pink flowers completely cover the entire plant so foliage is obscured, protect from excessive winter wet.
