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
CROCOSMIA 'Mex'
Dramatic, large red outward-facing flowers well above the foliage, on dark purple stems. Vigorous, and definitely one of the best!
1.20m £5.00
SANGUISORBA 'Ivory Towers'
Formerly S. sp. Witt ex Engeland. One of my all-time favourite Sanguisorbas, deserves a proper name! Early, long-flowering white bottlebrushes all through the plant. Stands up in a gale!
1.20m £5.00
MISCANTHUS sinensis 'Poseidon'
Very broad leaves and chunky pink flowers. Stunning autumn colour.
2.00m £5.00
SEDUM 'Chocolate Sauce'
Shiny, dark maroon emerging foliage on red stems, deepens to a glossy chocolate as it matures. Small pink flowers in autumn. Different from S. 'Chocolate'.
45cm £5.00
PATRINIA scabiosifolia
Sprays of tiny yellow flowers above a clump of foxglove-like leaves in summer. Sun.
90cm £5.00
SALVIA greggii 'Emperor'
Masses of wonderful maroon-purple flowers through summer and autumn. Hardy in a sunny, well-drained spot. Takes cuttings easily!

New compact variety with eyecatching cream and green foliage, which sets off the deep magenta-purple flowers.

90cm £5.00
RUDBECKIA laciniata 'Herbstsonne'
Tall upright perennial, bearing single, golden yellow flowers late summer. Great for the back of a sunny border.
AGM 2.00m £5.00

Californian Hybrid - Deep pink and cream flowers in spring. Full sun.
30cm £5.00
ASTER 'Fingers and Thumbs'
