'Poppin Purple' is a wonderful new evergreen dwarf Agapanthus to around 60cm including flowers. We have had it growing in our gravel garden for two years and found it to be a great performer. Contrasts well with any dwarf orange Agastache and silver foliage plants like Helichrysum italicum. The purple colour is superb and is definately more purple than blue. We found it can bleach a little on extremely hot days so it may prefer slightly less sun hours than we give it.

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.

A shorter form of Aster (45-60cm) with an abundance of cerise purple flowers with a tinge of red that cover the plant in Autumn. Great for mass plantings, specimen planting or in containers. Frost and drought tolerant. Like whom this plant is named after, it is tough and hardy, resilient and when it has its time in the sun, puts on a real eye catching spectacle. Combines very well with Sedums, ornamental grasses, Rudbeckia, Helenium and Echinacea.

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.
