Native to the Balkans and Turkey, Dianthus cruentus thrives in poor, well drained soil in full sun. Grass like foliage supports the deep blood-red flowers which are held high on thin wiry stems. We have this 'blood carnation' in our gravel garden but it would be equally striking planted amongst ornamental grasses on wild meadow-like gardens. 60cm high x 20cm wide.

We always admired Isoplexis canariensis but haven't had the joy of successfully growing it in Gloucester. However due to the hybridization of Isoplexis and Digitalis we now enjoy the upright spires of flowers in mid Spring onwards. 'Firecracker' is our favourite, with a mix of burnt orange, apricot and gold. 60cm high x 50cm wide. Frost hardy. Needs regular summer watering.

We had never really thought too much about Dyckia previously. That was, ntil we visited the Melbourne Botanic Gardens where Dyckia 'Red Star' was used in both succulent gardens and amongst perennial plantings. Not only do they have striking foliage but the dusky orange flowers are impressive as well. Dyckias are xerographic and survive long periods without water by going dormant. These plants are tough, handling freezing temperatures, drought and high heat. We are very pleased to offer Dyckia 'Red Star' as our first Dyckia with hopefully many more to come.

Gone are the days when Echinacea varieties were limited to pink and white. New forms and colours are regularly being bred. Orange Echinacea has been on our list of 'highly desirables' for a number of years. In 'Artisan™ Soft Orange' we have a winner - American Industry's Choice Medal of Excellence.
Large deep orange single flowers soften as they age to a pale antique tone. A spiky brown central cone adds to the appeal. Bred for consistency 'Artisan™ Soft Orange' is a very welcome addition to our increasing range of Echinacea varieties. 60cm x 60cm. Great for mass planting.

Flowers of long pale pink elegant reflexed petals hang like ribbons beneath a hedgehog-like spiky central cone, and sway in the breeze like graceful hula dancers. In contrast to this elegant, graceful hula dance appearance, 'Hula Dancer' is water wise, frost hardy, drought hardy and tolerant of humidity. It is also able to thrive in rocky, clay and poorer soils. A wonderful and exciting plant. 80cm high x 40cm wide.
