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.
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.
A very popular "Pacific Giant" strain with deep inky blue flowers. Easily grown on good soil in sun.
A terrific subulata ground covering variety, hundereds purple flowers in spring an a good groundcovering habit, likes some drainage but not overly fussy and can tolerate drying out in summer..
Reputedly more blue than others, we find these echinops, contrary to their appearance, are best situated in a cooler position with only part day sun. To yield their best, plant in fertile drained soil and a sheltered position.
Seldom offered perennial variety with lovely soft lilac bells, clumping and non-invasive. Grow between lupins, roses and salvias in the cottage garden or perennial border.
Our best blue variety, light sky blue with white bicolour. Plant in blocks for maximum impact and avoid heavy summer irrigation as with all lupins.
Semi prostrate medium blue form with cascading habit, useful winter flowering ground cover.
Delightful variety from Wychwood, lovely range of foliage colour including greys, purples and pinks. Distinct from 'Matrona' and 'Purple Emperor', with lower more branched form. Looks good all year both in pots and in the ground. My favourite sedum.
A branching form of Russells lupin with white and cream flowers. Provide good drainage and dry off in summer, looks wonderful with white roses.
White form of this excellent ground cover for shade, flowers age to very pale pink. Easily grown under trees where it favours dryish soil once established.
Wonderful evergreen shrub from New Zealand with ornamental leathery leaves and white daisy flowers. Requires a dryish well-drained site or a large pot.
Strawberry coloured blooms with for a sheltered morning sun position or shade, a beautiful variety that doesnt self seed as much as the usual types.
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.
One of the best deciduous geraniums with rich purple violet flowers and large palmate foliage,very long lived and forms a good sized 60cm across clump. Loves fertility and prefers heavier soil type, not in pots. Flowers in summer, after the early season geraniums.
Pure white armeria, a lovely feature for a borders edge, or mixed cottage garden.
