Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' has been a very popular plant worldwide for many years and with good reason. 'Little Goldstar' is a more compact plant, standing knee high and producing a higher flower count than 'Goldsturm'. Masses of golden yellow blooms with dark chocolate brown centres are produced in Summer. A wonderful new addition. Flowers well alongside Asters, Sedums and Ornamental Grasses.

After growing and selling Salvia 'Waverly' for 15 or so years, we took a spell from supplying it in favour of newer forms. However, it has returned as we can't refute its qualities and popularity. The quintessential Salvia. Every garden should have at least one. Grows to 1.2m high and has attractive deep green leathery corrugated foliage. Purple flower buds rise proud above the foliage producing white flowers with almost metallic purple calyces.
