Tolerates frost to -5ºC, humidity and heat but will require irrigation for peak performance.

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.

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.

Blue Globe Thistle is a fabulous looking plant. Late Summer and early Autumn it produces prickly blue balls that stand well above the foliage. Combines well with ornamental grasses, Achillea, Agastache and Salvia. Also provides a great contrast to clipped silver foliage shrubs like Helichrysum, Santolina and Teucrium.
Drainage is the key. Our gravel garden provides excellent drainage where the plants reach full size (1.2m). We previously had them in soil with a high clay content where the plants were stunted and lacked good flowering.

Unique in many ways, Eryngium agavifolium mixes well with ornamental grasses, sedums and agapanthus. Requires good winter drainage.

Commonly known as "Rattlesnake Master". A fantastic common name. Thin, slightly spiny, glaucous foliage gives rise to silver white thistle like flowers to around 1m in height. Prefers a free draining sunny position. Tolerates dry and gravelly poorer soils. Our boundary garden contains many of these Eryngiums as we love the architectural contrast. Grows well with Rudbeckia, Echinacea, Sedums and Ornamental Grasses. Also makes a wonderful cut flower.
