Sold outSalvia x jamensis 'Ignition Purple'
Sold out
Visit product page →Buy 1 for $13.00 / Buy 5 for $55.00
As a rule we have generally avoided growing smaller leaved bush Salvias due to their popularity in large garden centres. However with 'Ignition Purple' we have made an exception. It is notably heat and drought tolerant and has a reputation for being the most humidity tolerant of its type. But the real reason we included it in our range was the explosion of purple flowers throughout Summer. Irresistible!! 50-60cm tall and wide. Full sun with good drainage. Combines well with silver foliage, Tulbaghia varieties, Rudbeckia and Sedum.

'Red Thunder' forms an attractive clump of feathery foliage. It is a neat and tidy, well behaved Sanguisorba and has had much interest with new perennial movement style plantings. Elegant, slender stems rise from the foliage clumps in late Spring. Claret red flower spikes top each spike, adding colour and structural interest.

This Sanguisorbia features masses of tight, plum-ruby burrs held on wiry stems which give the appearance of a cloud of colour that floats above surrounding plants.

This cultivar is sometimes referred to as 'Ruby Buttons' and is one of the most compact forms reaching heights of 30-40cm. Grows well with a little extra moisture in full sun.

Sarcococca confusa is an easily grown low maintenance shrub which thrives in shady conditions, even damp shade. It has deep green glossy foliage with a wavy margin which can be clipped into a hedge. The aromatic white flowers are fairly inconspicuous but the fragrance fills the air giving rise to the common name 'Sweet Box'. Once established 'Sweet Box' is tolerant to dry conditions. Although it is fairly slow growing, Sarcococca confusa is very rewarding over time. Pest free. 1.2 - 1.5m high if left unpruned.
