Very broad leaves and chunky pink flowers. Stunning autumn colour.

My favourite molinia - arching purple flower stems, yellow foliage in autumn.

NEPETA 'Chettle Blue'
New variety. Same bushy habit as other grandiflora's, but with more intense glowing blue flowers. Insect heaven! Sunny, well drained spot.

Icy lilac-blue small daisies in tidy sprays. A laevis type, but is fairly compact, upright and non-running. Contrasting black stems and dark green smoky leaves. Impending storm clouds! A very useful mixer in the border.

From Sarastro Nursery in Germany, this has deep red catkins on tall open stems, which move gently in the breeze, July-September.
