These cheerful flowers combine well with other summer flowering perennials like salvias, isoplexus and kniphofia. Ideal in coastal and Mediterranean climates.
We grow this evergreen variety as a ground cover in full to part sun, visitors frequently comment on its attractive appearance. The pink flowers over the pewter purple foliage are a pleasing contrast, and the plant has an effective ground covering habit. Requires reasonable drainage.

Lavandula officianalis (syn. angustifolia) . Like 'Hidecote' but a more intense darker purple colour with slightly shorter flower spikes.

Very easy and well behaved in clay however in light sandy soils may be overly vigorous and only suit the large garden.

Evergreen rosette-forming penstemon with a tidy appearance and tall spikes of apricot flowers from summer to autumn.

The best white persicaria we have tried, as with Taurus and others, these will flower in summer but good much and soil fertility will ensure their best performance. Waist high or fraction higher in moister conditions, basal foliage with drifts of vertical white spikes. We like to plant these in clumped groups of 5 or 9 at 25cm spacings for best effect.
