Terrific ornamental grass which has not shown any seedling to date, which makes it a very welcome addition as a foliage filler. The foliage is nicely mounding, evergreen and knee high, and the red pompom flower heads have almost the effect of a sanguisorba, later fading to a pleasant straw colour until mid winter providing an effective textural effect. One of our favourite new varieties for perennial plantings.

A wonderful winter foliage plant, most useful as ground cover around trees and deciduous shrubs. Foliage turns a red then dark chocolate providing it gets winter sun. Flowers yellow, introduced by Planthunters.
Attractive variety from Mexico with lavender and white flowers. A long flowering variety that attracts honey eates and butterflies, requires good drainage and a frost free environment to flourish.
A useful border allium, flowering in mid summer, producing tall stems topped with spherical heads, about the size of crab apples. These begin green, then as the season progresses, burgundy colouration gradually extends down until the balls are entirely coloured. Best planted closely as a clump for good effect.
Dark leaved aster, with petite starry pink flowers in autumn. We never see mildew on this variety, and its foliage makes a good show prior to flowering.
A lower compact form that is brilliant for massed foreground plantings at 40cm high. These cheerful flowers combine well with other summer flowering perennials like echinacea, sedums, salvias, and perennial grasses. Ideal in coastal and Mediterranean climates.
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.
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.
Prolific low mounding erigeron with long flowering habit, useful for many planting applications. Looks great as a path edging or border mass planting or fill under roses, and needs minimal care or water.
A selection of Dicentra formosa with deep ruby flowers. Ideal in shade under trees with not too much winter wet.
Useful and prolific evergreen ground cover, flowering in winter and spring. Clear blue flowers, useful as mass plantings.
A distinctly different kniphofia producing a tall inflorescence, with sparsely spaced apricot to pale orange flowers down the stem. Beautiful when combined with Stipa gigantea.
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.
Dome-shaped low-growing Euphorbia for the rockgarden or border. Dozens of lime-green flowers in spring.
A useful evergreen ground cover from Japan for shade and woodland plantings. White flowers, attractive glossy green foliage; combine with epimediums.
Native grassland species from Natal, dwarf and florific with violet purple flowers earlier than most other varieties.
Long flowering plant with vibrant deep red flowers during summer. Easy in meadow plantings or cottage garden.
