Visit product page →Buy 1 for $13.00 / Buy 5 for $55.00
Chocolate Cosmos is a fun little native Mexican plant with dark burgundy (with a hint of brown) flowers that bob above the foliage. It truly does have a scent of chocolate that is best smelt in the afternoon of a hot summer day. Best in fertile well drained soil or as a pot specimen. My mum has had some in her garden for a decade and they keep popping back year after year with little care required. Fabulous partnered with Carex testacea, Sedum 'Matrona' and silver foliage. 40cm x 40cm.

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.

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.

It is also able to thrive in rocky, clay and poorer soils. A wonderful and exciting plant. 80cm high x 40cm wide.

An outstanding performer, 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. Deep pink to magenta flowers retain their colour as they mature. The compact habit lends itself to planting en masse as well as container culture. 60cm tall x 40cm wide.

Dead flower heads remain on the plant well into Winter and are frequently visited by smaller birds such as finches and wrens.
