Perennial Plants for all situations are our main speciality. We offer a wide range of flowering and foliage plants to suit all conditions. The vast majority of plants are slug proof and are grown in the garden without the use of slug pellets.
| Aconitum Monkshood. Interesting plants for cool soil in partly shaded positions. They are grown for their attractive, rounded, bright green leaves and their long spikes of hooded flowers. They are ideal plants for a woodland garden with some varieties flowering later in the season, providing valuable autumn colour. All parts are poisenous. | |
| Ajuga reptans Bugle. An evergreen ground covering plant and native wild flower that occurs in meadows and woodland margins. Short pyramids of whorled, dark blue flowers are borne in spring and intermittently later in the year. The dense mats of foliage spread by rooting runners. The following varieties have attractive foliage that can be used to create weed suppressing carpets of colour between shrubs and larger perennials. | |
| Alchemilla mollis Ladys Mantle. A clump forming plant with rounded, shallowly lobed, downy, hairy pale green leaves. Loose sprays of tiny, greenish yellow flowers are borne over a long period. | |
| Armeria maritima Sea Pink. Native wildflower that grows on cliffs with evergreen tufts of narrow, dark leaves. Globular pink flowers are borne in summer. | |
| Aster novae-angliae New England Aster. Clump forming asters with stout stems and hairy bright green leaves. The flowers are borne in dense flower heads from late summer to late autumn. These plants have good healthy foliage and do not suffer from mildew. | |
| Astilbe A good plant for damp, shady locations. Large plumes of flowers in shades of pink, lilac and salmon are held above attractive divided foliage during summer. A range of heights are available from 20cm dwarfs to 1.2m giants. | |
| Campanula portenschlagiana Dalmation Bellflower. A very tough alpine bell flower that is ideal for rockeries, stone walls and edging. The dense mats of mid green leaves persist all year round and are smothered throughout the summer with deep lilac blue, starry bells. | |
| Cardamine pratensis Cuckoo Flower, Ladys Smock. A pretty, native wild flower with dense rosettes of deeply divided, dark green leaves rather like an aristocratic, glossy bitter cress (however there is no other similarity to the invasive weed). Spikes of flowers that vary from white to lilac are borne in spring and early summer. | |
