Windflowers are lovely in shaded woodland, an easy and reliable understorey beneath trees and shrubs. This is the pale pink form.
A bushy plant with many branched stems topped with dark yellow black centered cone flowers. The foliage is a dark glossy green similar in appearance to heliopsis and echinaceas. Flowers from mid-summer into autumn.
One of the best variegated cultivars with bright green leaves and white margins. A fine architectural plant with Dicentra and shade loving geraniums.
White form of 'Catmint', effective path edging plant or combined with lavender and santolina in the cottage garden. Low growing, ground covering. Trim off dead flowers to extend flowering period.
Silvery succulent, ideal in dry and exposed conditions including coastal situations. Flowers are coral pink during winter and the bushy form of this variety associates well with Stipa gigantea, aeoniums, fascicularia, and sedums.
Native to Spain, Portugal and Morocco, a spectacular tall grass with attractive seed heads in autumn. Takes a few years to achieve maturity but well worth the wait.
Taller salvia for background plantings with pleasant sky blue flowers. Dislikes winter wet, preferring drainage for best cultivation.
A handsome plant with attractive palmate foliage on straight stems, topped with 30 cm spikes of pale pink Veronica flowers. Best in a moist fertile spot.
Rare white form of the usual blue, useful for ground cover in part shade or sun. Vigorous and spreading like the blue form.
A very beautiful plant with unusual white arching flower spikes. The foliage colours well in colder areas; both flowers and foliage are a delight for the flower arranger. Allow some room as plants will clump out substantially in a few years. Sun or dappled shade on moist soil.
An old cultivar we imported from the UK with good foliage and some farina on the leaves. Best in well drained conditions in a pot or the rock garden.
A legendary oriental poppy with a distinct colour break from the usual pinks and reds, producing the most intriguing plum purple blooms. The dark flowers are subject to sun and wind burn so provide some shelter. If these are out of stock, we normally have more coming on in propagation.
Rare woodland perennial from Taiwan vaguely resembling a Trillium. Humus rich drained soil in complete shade is essential for good results.
A brilliant cushion forming plant, abundantly flowering in spring and early summer. We like to use these for path edgings and foreground plantings with dianthus and armeria. Best in friable soil.
Pink form of Astrantia major: a good companion for hostas and dicentras in woodland.
