A versatile rush from South Africa that will grow in a surprising range of conditions. The tall foliage is particularly good all year round, and the new growth resembles bamboo. Good for structure amongst herbaceous plants.

Data sheet
One of the first perennials my mother gave me, a delightful old fashioned ground cover for under roses, where it will remain well behaved forever, or until overgrown by an invasive neighbour. Easily revived and transplanted however, and not to be confused with 'Claridge Druce' or other inferior Geranium oxonianum hybrids.
The beautiful 'snakes head' Fritillaria. Easy to grow but requires drainage, moderate fertility with organic matter content in the soil and a cool position. Best in part shade in the rockgarden, or in a large pot or raised bed. Colour can vary from pink to purple, rarely but occasionally white.
Perennial temperate grass with bamboo like foliage, wider bladed than miscanthus and more stout and rounded in form. Valuable for landscaping and mass planting. Native to Northern China, Manchura and Siberia, prefers a cooler position.
'Lily of the valley'. Clump forming and easy perennial for shade or part sun, sweetly fragrant bells in spring.
Pure white Astilbe, a lovely contrasting variety when planted in combination with Astilbe 'Fanal'. Fresh green foliage and white spikes in early summer.
One of our favourite late season rudbeckias, a tall late summer flowering variety with lemon yellow green centred flowers on strong rigid stems, ideally suited to heavier soil types.
These cheerful flowers combine well with other summer flowering perennials like salvias, isoplexus and kniphofia. Ideal in coastal and Mediterranean climates.
Often listed incorrectly as Pratia puberula; indigenous to NSW, a vigourous trailing groundcover for shady areas. Effective at suppressing weeds and performs well as mass plantings, starry light blue campanulate flowers borne over a long period. Use in combinaton with viola, epimedium, hosta.
A pretty, low growing rivale type, suitable for the the cottage garden, foreground beds or path edging. Long flowering, best in heavier fertile soils.
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.
One of the most beautiful agastache we have trialled, raised by Lambley Nursery. Tall and profusely flowering, best sited amongst grasses and taller perennials such as helenium and veronicastrum for background effect, loves good soil and fertility and needs a good cutback after flowering.
'Russian Sage'; attractive blue flowers over grey foliage in mid summer onwards. An extremely drought hardy and frost hardy plant that likes well drained soil. Good for hedging and cottage garden with Lavandula 'Hidecote', Iris and blue geraniums.
Pink Siberian iris which combines well with white colour schemes. Useful for in-fill between roses or in the mixed border.
Slightly lower growing variation on 'Moerheim Beauty' with bushy compact shape. Summer flowering for perennial border or cottage garden.
A tall perennial clumping grass for the sunny border. As the season progresses, the new growth develops an attractive zebra stripe across its length. Cut back to ground level in winter every 2 - 3 years.
The lovely white form which flowers earlier than the blue, and is equally easy. I raised our original stock plant from one white seedling which we later divided. Thanks Lindy for recovering this for me when I thought it had been lost forever!
