Dramatic and exquisite. New to us. Reputedly more sun and drought tolerant than most Astilbe. Having said that 'Chocolate Shogun' still prefers dappled shade and moist conditions. Bronze chocolate foliage give this handsome plant its name. Flowers appear in Summer like icing sugar held high above the foliage. 60-80cm tall.

Known as Pillar of Smoke or Australian Plume Grass. We have grown this native grass in our stock beds for the past three years. It is one of the earliest of our ornamental grasses to flower in Spring. Makes a dense mass of finely textured plumes giving the appearance of smoke. It is reported that if planted in moist well drained soil this grass will grow up to 2 metres tall. We have found it to not reach much above 1 metre, however it will vary from one microclimate to another. Austrostipa ramosissima holds its own amongst ornamental grasses. Its form and presence is like no other exotic or native grass.

The early days of discovering Bergenias were confined to gardens where Bergenias were often sprawling mats of creeping rhizomes often in a neglected shady corner. After visiting Beth Chatto's 'Gravel Garden' our mind has been positively affected. They were used as garden highlights not plants to be tucked away. Some varieties have remarkable Winter hues and brilliant Spring flowers. 'Bressingham White' is one of the best free flowering forms with pure white inflorescence. Suits shade or semi shade on NSW mid coast, but can handle more sun in climates south of Sydney. 'Bressingham White' has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit. 40cm high x 60cm wide. Tolerates poor soils, frost, shade and drought. The large rounded leaves make Bergenias a very useful plant for contrast in any garden.
