This variety is particularly good in autumn when the seedheads elongate and stand above the foliage. Another tall variety for behind the border, best cut down to ground level every few years.

Data sheet
Long spurred lemon yellow aquilegia, probably derived from Aquilegia chrysantha. Elegant in part shade with hostas and ligularia.
Rarely offered miniature for the rock garden with mounding habit. Porcelain blue bells on wiry upright stems, astounding flowers for such a dwarf plant. Will also grow well in the cottage garden or a pot if given occasional lime.
Remarkable new euphorbia bred by us, with compact mounds of greyish green pewter foliage, lime green flowers spotted red. Wonderful foliage plant for landscaping with miscanthus, sedums, and westringia.
A wonderful Geum kept in circulation by Dennis Norgate; vibrant tangerine orange, repeat flowers throughout the year and non seeding.
Semi double white flowers with dark cherry centre, cushion forming. Useful frost and drought hardy plant for rock garden or perennial border.
A striking prolific and bushy medium height variety that flowers late summer, both foliage and flowers are darker colours that combine well with autumn golds and ochres.
Geranium phaeum cultivar with attractive dark markings on the leaves, we found this at Elizabeth Strangmans nursery in Kent. Deep wine purple flowers.
Tall Phlox paniculata type, soft pink flowering in summer, best on fertile moisture retentive soil with astrantia, delphiniums and herbaceous perennials.
Old fashioned double primrose for part sun or shade in good soil. We never have many of these regretfully
Tall, decorative late summer flowering purple biennial, introduced to us by Karen Hall. Treat like Angelica gigas, often takes three years to flower then self seeds.
Lush leafy perennial for fertile clay soils, larger and more bushy in habit than Filipendula rubra with white flowers. Plant with gunnera, Lysimachia cletheroides and Iris siberica around ponds and water features.
Slender wiry stems topped with lolly pink pompoms about the size of a mulberry, flowering for months in summer. Like other sanguisorba they are drought tolerant, but like some clay below the surface.
Campanula punctata type with semi double flowers, tall panicles, elegant and lovely. Spreading habit, frost and drought hardy.
White form of the Algerian iris, equally as hardy as the blue forms. Best in free draining soil, colonizes well over time forming grassy mounds flowering in winter. Ideal mass planting under shrubs or specimen plant.
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.
Close relative of Echinacea angustifolia, also used in herbal medicine, sharing many similarities. I find it a better garden plant, more vigorous and productive in growth, and manages better in winter wet.
