A Selection of Prairie Garden Plants
A garden of height, transparency and texture – tall plants among short. Walk through a summer meadow of ornamental grasses, asters and perennial sunflowers. They provide structure and drama through the cold winter months, touched by frost in the morning sun.

SANGUISORBA officinalis 'Martin's Mulberry'
An improvement on 'Arnhem' - more upright, with maroon flowers.
1.80m £5.00
SANGUISORBA tenuifolia var. parviflora
Similar to 'Alba' but with more attractive foliage.
1.00m £5.00
AMMI majus
Indispensable hardy annual, a brilliant filler plant for mid to late summer, as seen this year at Great Dixter! Lacy white cow-parsley flowers and delicate ferny foliage. Well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. 3 for £10!
AGM 1.80m £4.00
CIRSIUM rivulare 'Atropurpureum'
Ornamental thistle, with dark maroon-red thistle flowers all summer.
AGM 90cm £5.00
HELENIUM 'Luc'
Very similar to 'Sahin's Early Flowerer', but darker and bigger flowers from early July. A current favourite.
90cm £5.00
ECHINACEA 'Amazing Dream'
Hot pink flowers with an orange centre, July-September. Bee magnets!
PBR 60cm £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.

SANGUISORBA tenuifolia 'Stand Up Comedian'
Upright tall stems with white bottlebrush flowers.
2.00m £5.00
RUDBECKIA laciniata 'Hortensia'
