I spotted this dwarf poker in the UK years ago, where I was struck by its compact form and abundant hot-orange pokers. It is winter dormant and makes a good grassy mound of leaves when not in flower.

Data sheet
Rich purple flowered variety, more mildew resistant than others in our area. Tall and self supporting non staking variety, useful as a cut flower.
One of my favourite salvias, which always looks great in the autumn. The flowers are lime-green and in exhuberant clusters like something tropical. Responds well to good soil.
The best dwarf "English" hedging lavender, which only grows to 60 cm or so. Trim after flowering to encourage bushy plants. Long-lived and not messy like other varieties.
This is the rarely offered white form, lovely cut flower and cottage garden perennial. To grow effectively, avoid winter wet as much as possible and grow in a raised bed or well drained soil.
Late summer flowering variety with fine petalled soft blue flowers, clumping and non invasive. Combine with deschampsia, echinacea, sedums and eupatorium.
Paniculata type with white flowers and pink eye, fragrant and grows well with plenty of summer water and nutrients. Not for low maintenance gardens!
Old fashioned shade-loving primrose with burgundy gold edged flowers. Choice and lovely.
White flowers suffused with the palest lilac, darkest at the tips. Tall stems great for flower arranging. Amongst my current favourites.
Seed grown plants from our white flowered form, with dark purple leaves. All plants have purple leaves, with a variation from cream to light blue flowers.
A terrific evergreen ground covering plant with a long flowering season, ideal beneath roses or amongst meadow or perennial border plantings. Very useful for foreground plantings as its only knee high and creates good fill.
Light blue form with larger flowers than the wild variety. Easy to grow and lovely in spring.
Attractive multicoloured variety, which starts off as lime green and cream then ages to pink or pale blue depending on soil pH. Morning sun only, best in part shade with good drainage.
Cultivated form of glomerata with especially rigid upright flower stems and clusters of divine purple flowers. Useful for cutting and clumps well between roses and in the herbaceous border.
A strong white succulent ground cover from Silver Banksia nursery, very tough and the rich green foliage provides a good contrast for the white flowers. Good over a rocky bank, wall, or general ground cover in drier sunny areas.
A beautiful low compact variety for edging or foreground, virtually evergreen and flowers for a long time. Prefers heavier moisture retentive soil types, and a cooler position is best although will take both full sun or part shade.
