The stunning new growth is the feature of this woodland perennial. It has the darkest foliage of any Rodgersia.

'Bronze Peacock' refers to the emergence of Spring foliage reminiscent of a Peacock's tail.

Rudbeckia maxima
$14.00
Visit product page →This plant is currently unavailable
Rudbeckia maxima is native to Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Grown for its large yellow coneflowers, it is equally recognisable for its large blue-green cabbage like basal leaves. A stunning plant that produces flowers on stalks up to 180cm in height. The flowers are up to 8cm across and have strong yellow petals with dark brown tall central cones. Best results are achieved when grown in organically enriched soils with a little extra moisture and plenty of sunshine. We always find it fascinating to find out the origins of the names of the plants we grow. The genus Rudbeckia was named in honour of Olof Rudbeck (1630-1702). He was a Swedish botanist.

Native to Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and northwestern Spain. We planted Salvia barrelieri in our gravel garden as a trial. From mid Spring to mid Autumn it has not stopped flowering and has formed a decent clump. Large sage green leaves form a rosette from which spikes of pale lavender blue flowers rise to around 1m in height. Cold and heat tolerant. Stunning vertical appeal and a little hard to find.

A brilliant addition to the ever increasing range of new Salvias to explore. A striking black calyx supports a strong boysenberry purple flower which flowers through Summer and Autumn. Mid green leaves with a tinge of lime colouring make for a great contrast. Due to 'Smokey Jazz' having been bred for a neater tighter habit, it makes a good container specimen as well as striking garden feature. 80 x 80cm. Frost will cut this Salvia but is will surface strongly in the Spring. Great companion for silver foliage plants like Helichrysum and Santolina.
