Old fashioned shade-loving primrose with burgundy gold edged flowers. Choice and lovely.
Totally prostrate thyme with white flowers. Good green foliage colour and perfect amongst stepping stones and cobbles. The pink equivalent is Thymus "Minimus"
Parma type with sweet fragrance, soft lavender lilac double flowers, perfectly placed near a doorway or garden pathway where its subtle perfume can be appreciated.
A low, spreading variety for the border, rockgarden or drystone wall. Lots of thimble sized nodding white bells in mid-summer.
One our favourite new grasses, waist high flowers with rich green foliage, creating good mounding fill and texture within summer perennial plantings. Grows best on heavier fertile soils, and responds well to moisture in summer if available, but not overly demanding.
Rare white form of the pink "bleeding heart", best grown in shade in a spot protected from wind. Winter dormant and very cold tolerant.
Special unusual mounding variety from mountains of Turkey and Armenia, for the rock garden or border. Likes it rocky but fertile and ensure drained not acid soil and plenty of grit, very cold tolerant and tough once established. Flowers start green then age pink with onset of cold nights.
Tall old fashioned pink phlox, requires good soil and fertility to thrive. Best situated in a sheltered cottage garden with morning sun.
Low mounding variety that will trail over a wall or amongst rocks, likes drained drier soil types. Tasmanian native, very pretty plant and surprisingly tough, will withstand summer dry.
Rare white form of the usual blue, useful for ground cover in part shade or sun. Vigorous and spreading like the blue form.
Close relative of Echinacea angustifolia, also used in herbal medicine, sharing many similarities. I find it a better garden plant, more vigorous and productive in growth, and manages better in winter wet.
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.
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.
Terrific new variety from our own breeding, lower growing than most other varieties at around knee high, but larger than usual flowers in a good rich plummy colour. Good foliage too, likes moist rich soil.
An interesting variety which changes its foliage coloration throughout the season. Leaves begin as green then gradually turn golden in autumn with attractive red tints. Best in a dry rock garden or pot.
Lovely variety with flower spikes in peach and apricot tones, like the colours of old fashioned roses. Clumping habit and long flowering.
