Superb purple foliage plant for warmer areas. Combine with heleniums, echinaceas and rudbeckias.
A mixture from our own collection. Includes doubles and a range of colours. Great plants for the rock-garden or in a large pot. Likes drainage.
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.
White form of Salvia leucantha. Best on open textured free draining soil, plant between roses with Geranium 'Rozanne'.
Bushy plant with tons of closely packed white single flowers. Reddish buds before the flowers emerge creates a wonderful effect in early summer.
A vigorous ornamental allium with large pinkish purple spherical flowers on tall wiry stems. Attractive in mass border plantings or in parterre gardens, also a much sought after cut flower. Can self seed so trim off unwanted seed heads when flowers have lost colour.
Old fashioned cottage plant, forming cushions of grey foliage with sweetly fragrant red flowers. For the rockery or border.
Evergreen Iris from Burma, China and Japan. An attractive species with fans of leaves and light blue flowers in early summer. I find the foliage effect of this plant very useful when combined with grasses, sedums and euphorbias. Interesting large seed heads.
Delightful white starry variety for perennial border and cottage garden, flowering in late summer. Tall arching stems, perfect infill between salvia, helenium, lupins, roses, also useful for floral work.
A cultivar of nemorosa with clear blue flowers in spring. Makes a delightful pot plant, or woodland planting. Do not over-water after flowering, caution to those with irrigation systems, keep soil barely damp and not wet.
Upright evergreen ornamental grass, close relative to 'Karl Forester', however with cream and green linear markings on each leaf. Useful for variation of visual texture in grass plantings, attractive upright seedheads.
Excellent perennial grass from Japan. Like a compact "Sarabande" type but only around chest high. Typical feathery seed heads in autumn.
A spectacular iris with indigo flowers and black stems. Medium height and easy to grow in most conditions providing the soil is not too dry.
Double flowers with ruffled petals, rich pink colour and easily grown like other varieties.
Hand pollinated seedlings from our best dark flowered plants from imported stock.
