We have trialled a number of Agastache because they are exciting, fragrant, lively and bring a certain zing to the garden. 'Apricot Sprite' is one of the best and has performed really well over a number of years. The zesty orange flowers liven up any space and combine really well with ornamental grasses. 50 x 50cm.

We've had a long association with this lovely little coreopsis. In 1994 I bought a book called 'Bold romantic Gardens' by Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden where Coreopsis 'Moonbeam' featured in this horticultural masterpiece. Since this time we have always made room to grow this ever popular perennial. Bright star like lemon yellow flowers are held above airy clumps of fine-needle like foliage. It brings a fine textured contrast to the landscape. Unlike other Coreopsis it doesn't self-seed and is a long lived perennial. Perfect in a pot as well as in the ground amongst grasses and sedums. Approx. 40cm high x 40cm wide.

Sunshine yellow velvet-textured petals with beautiful chocolate bronze centres. Dense terminal clusters of flowers appear on erect stems in Mid Summer reaching 80cm.
