Bidens aurea 'Supernova'£5.50

Boehmeria tricuspis£4.00

A lovely clump forming foliage plant that also produces curious strings of tiny pink flowers in late summer. The fresh green, divided leaves are distinctive. Decent soil in shade. 50cm.

Bothriochloa bladhii£4.00

A clump forming grass with greyish, slightly hairy foliage and heads of silky flowers that start metallic red and fade to tawny buff. For full sun and well drained soil. May not be fully hardy in cold areas but is easy to keep in a cold greenhouse or sheltered corner.

Briza media 'Limouzi'£4.50

A much improved selection of the Perennial Quaking Grass with rich blue-green leaves and larger purplish flowers to 45cm. Best in morning sun where the light catches the dew on it!

Brunnera sibirica£4.00

Buddleja auriculata£8.50

Long narrow leaves with white felted undersides and racemes of creamy white strongly scented WINTER flowers. Somewhat tender so best protected in winter unless you have a warm sheltered wall. 2m.

Buddleja colvilei pink form£6.50

New to us. A more or less hardy species perhaps best against a sunny wall with large hairy green leaves and pink flowers rather than the normal dark reddish shade. To 3m if happy and not pruned!

Buddleja fallowiana var. alba£6.50

Buxus sempervirens 'Elegantissima'£5.00

Very pretty cream margined selection of Box. Grow it as a free standing shrub and don't clip it for the best effect - this also seems to reduce problems increasingly seen with box. 1.2m in 10 years if you're lucky.

Calamagrostis 'Glenorchy Fireworks'£5.00

Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Avalanche'£4.00

A new form from America with a stronger habit than ‘Overdam’ and a reversed variegation. Creamy white stripes, tinged pink and the usual purplish pink flowers in summer. 1.2m. Dense clumps of foliage provide upright columns of stems that last all winter, cut back in February.
