CROCOSMIA 'Ellenbank Firecrest'

Flowers are buttercup-yellow inside, fringed and backed with red. Compact and floriferous. Very eye-catching!

CENTAUREA 'Jordy'

Deep maroon cornflowers contrast perfectly with grey-green foliage. My current favourite!

GALANTHUS elwesii 'Comet'

One of the best snowdrops, this has wide, glaucous foliage, and the flowers have one large green mark on the inner segments. The long outer segments resemble a comet's tail!

GERANIUM 'Blushing Turtle'

Lovely big, soft pink, darker-veined flowers from June until frosts. Forms an impressive mound.
