Visit product page →Buy 1 for $12.00 / Buy 5 for $50.00
The wet weather of the last two years has rendered most Rosemary varieties unable to handle our conditions. 'Salem' has stood out to withstand wet, clay soils as well as the dry. This Rosemary was bred in Salem, North Carolina for a better tolerance of humidity than other Rosemary types. It also is relatively compact 90cm x 60cm and responds well to clipping to shape. 'Salem' is a good oil producer and has rich blue flowers. Prefers well drained soils but is more forgiving of wetter soils than most Rosemary varieties. 'Salem' has a strong upright form lending itself to hedging and more formal applications.

Visit product page →This plant is currently unavailable
Rudbeckia maxima is native to Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Grown for its large yellow coneflowers, it is equally recognisable for its large blue-green cabbage like basal leaves. A stunning plant that produces flowers on stalks up to 180cm in height. The flowers are up to 8cm across and have strong yellow petals with dark brown tall central cones. Best results are achieved when grown in organically enriched soils with a little extra moisture and plenty of sunshine. We always find it fascinating to find out the origins of the names of the plants we grow. The genus Rudbeckia was named in honour of Olof Rudbeck (1630-1702). He was a Swedish botanist.

Ruscus hypoglossum is a fabulous plant for dry shady areas. Indispensable and very valuable for it will grow in the driest darkest conditions. We have used it many times to solve 'planting issues'. The foliage makes great material for floral arrangements and has its own intriguing botanical twist - the apparent leaves are actually modified stems (cladodes). The flowers then appear in the centre of these cladodes. Grows 1m high x 1m wide. Evergreen perennial that looks more like a shrub. Ruscus can be loosely hedged and looks best en masse.

First discovered in 1937 at the Californian Botanic Garden by Allen Chickering, this hybrid between Salvia clevelandii and Salvia leucophylla is grown for its lavender blue flowers forming a tier of whorls. Flowering period is Spring through to early Summer and is quite an eye catcher. We have found it needs excellent drainage and lots of sun to perform at its best at 1.5m x 1m this needs space to grow. It can't be cut down like some other Salvias as it doesn't come back well from heavy pruning.
