Bright sparkly blue flowers in neat round heads of stems that wave in the breeze in early to mid summer. Grassy leaves that still look ok while it flowers. Drained soil in sun, 45cm.
Relatively broad leaves give way to strong stems topped with balls of starry off-white flowers with green-black centres. Hardy and easy to grow in drained soil in full sun. 75cm.
Rarely seen compact ornamental grass with grey foliage and yellow stems supporting fingered red-purple flowers in summer to 60cm. Well drained soil in full sun.
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.
Brilliant light orange flowers with red tints, fade to a soft yellow over lovely greyish foliage. Neat clumps and one of the best in our opinion! Drained soil in full sun, divide and replant every 3 years. 75cm.
(Geranium psilostemon x G. sanguineum 'Minutum') Alan Bremner's improbable hybrid is rarely seen but makes a compact clump for the front of the border, rockery or scree. Bright green divided leaves and glowing purple-pink flowers in summer. 20cm.
An upland type selected in North Carolina in 2006 as a restoration and forage plant. We are trying it as a larger mostly green leaved form with big heads of airy flowers in autumn. Potentially 2m+ tall. Good soil in sun, clumps.
An attractive North American prairie species making upright plants with hairy leaves and spires of light purple flowers in summer to 60cm. Can be short lived but is very hardy.
An uncommon form with semi-double white flowers surrounded by green bracts suffused and occasionally splashed with white. 15cm. Good, leafy soil in shade.
A fine form collected by the late Michael Wickenden in Slovakia with a neat habit and fairly broad, bright evergreen foliage and golden brown flowers in spring to 45cm. Shade, even quite dry.
A lovely finely dissected form of the UK native Welsh Polypody. An easy, hardy, more or less evergreen fern that will spread to form a decent patch without taking over. Shade, not too dry. 45cm.
No, it's not from Peru! Mediterranean actually. Broad leafy clumps and large, rounded heads of intense blue starry flowers in spring. Drained soil in full sun for the best flowers. 30cm. Nearly evergreen.
The unusual white flowered form of this Mediterranean bulb (not from Peru!). Clumps of broad light green leaves and large heads of white, star shaped flowers to 30cm. Drained soil in full sun for the best flowers.
A distinct colour break from Coen Jansen in Holland. Low mounds of divided, deep green, leaves studded with masses of bright salmony pink flowers May to September. Drained soil in sun.
Chocolate brown tinted new leaves turn to green with the double yellow flowers nestled in a ruff of green bracts in early to mid spring. Good woodland soil in light shade, under deciduous trees is ideal. 15cm.
An albino version with light green foliage and pure white flowers in spring. Compact and slower spreading than other forms. Deciduous. Drained soil in light shade is best. 20cm.
We're totally confused by the identity of this beautiful squill from Kurdistan. These plants produce long leaves in early winter and spires of rich sky blue flowers in spring. This species should grow it's leaves in the spring! Good soil in shade.
Clumps of evergreen foliage with brilliant creamy white new growth in spring as the golden brown tassell-like flowers are produced. Good groundcover for shade in time, ie it's quite slow! 45cm.
A very useful and attractive low to mid size Sanguisorba with rounded maroon red flowers on upright wiry stems to 1m. Good soil in sun, not too dry. Easy and hardy.
Rosettes of broadly lanceolate grey leaves send up stocky stems topped with spikes of creamy white flowers with long pale green calyces and flared ends. Distinct pink filaments. Drained soil in sun, 50cm.
