Our favourite hummingbird mint! Korean in origin, 'Blue Fortune' does require better soils and a bit more water than Mexican varieties. However the reward is a higher impact, visually stunning plant. It works well with ornamental grasses, silver foliage plants, Echinacea, Rudbeckia and Helenium. 80cm x 60cm.

Also known as Hummingbird Mint or Giant Hyssop, this plant is a superb addition to the perennial border.

The large quantities of essential oils in the leaves make the plant highly aromatic and also resistant to browsing animals. Full sun. 80cm x 40cm.

This Coneflower is a high impact perennial. As the name may suggest it has been bred to produce upright well branched stems that result in more flowers per plant. Flowers have luminous golden yellow centres surrounded by a skirt of wide pure white petals. The compact habit lends itself to planting en masse as well as container culture. 60cm tall x 40cm wide. Prefers well drained average soils in full sun.

A hybrid between G. robustum and G. incanum. Both are South African species. This hybrid is an exceptional plant. Makes a wonderful ground covering carpet of highly divided silver grey foliage with dainty lavender mauve flowers with purple veins. The softness of the filigree foliage disguises the tough nature of the plant. Thrives in our recent very hot and dry weather. Handles frost to -5℃ here as well. Needs a well drained soil with plenty of sunshine. 45cm x 60cm.

This Helenium has performed extremely well in our stock beds through heat, drought and flooding conditions. Heleniums grow well in our clay based composted growing beds with no irrigation. The mass of stunning flowers ablaze in burgundy red and mahogany are a highlight for us each Summer. Synonymous with 'Dark Beauty' it grows to 80cm high x 60cm wide and tolerates most soil types except asphyxiating clays. Does best in full sun with good Winter drainage. The addition of organic matter to the soil will encourage growth and larger flower heads.

Helenium 'Morheim Beauty' is the classic Helenium that has been around for a number of years and first attracted us to the suite of Heleniums that are now available. Swept back deep red petals that bleach in the Summer heat to a rusty ochre orange. The addition of organic matter to the soil will encourage growth and larger flower heads. Simply stunning clumping herbaceous perennial 60-90cm tall.
