ARUNDO donax
Giant reed, growing up to 10ft high! Grey-green leaves. Needs a warm spot in moist soil.
3.00m £7.50
SANGUISORBA 'Pink Tanna'
Light pink bobble flowers from June-August, above a clump of slender branching stems. Prefers moist soil in a sunny spot.
80cm £5.00
MISCANTHUS nepalensis
My favourite Miscanthus - pale green foliage on a shorter plant, with long arching stems and silky buff flowers. Very different from other Miscanthus, and good for a small garden.
1.20m £5.00
ARTEMISIA ludoviciana 'Valerie Finnis'
Lovely silver foliage plant, useful for edge of border as a foil for darker plants. Dead-head to keep her at her best! Sunny, well drained spot.
AGM 60cm £5.00
SUCCISELLA inflexa 'Frosted Pearls'
An airy addition to the border, with masses of pale pink to white flowers on fine stems. Lovely as a cut flower. Sun to part shade.
80cm £5.00
EUPHORBIA epithymoides
Syn. E. polychroma. Mounds of bright yellow flowerheads all spring.
AGM 40cm £5.00
IRIS 'Broadleigh Penny'
California Iris with rich purple flowers, sometimes four to a stem. Later-flowering, May-June.
30cm £5.00
SOLIDAGO 'Foxbrook Fountain'
From John Williams. Statuesque, tall and tidy, its golden-yellow flowers are closely clumped and outward-facing at the top of thick stems. Suspend your prejudices, this golden rod is wonderful!
2.00m £5.00
ASTER trifoliatus ssp. ageratoides 'Ezo Murasaki'
Eyecatching deep violet-purple daisies in profusion, form a tidy mound of colour September-November. Sun or shade.
60cm £5.00
We hope to see you soon!
