A clump forming, evergreen perennial, with finely dissected, intense silver-white, fern-like foliage and flat heads of golden yellow flowers throughout the warmer months.
Best planted en masse.
Feed Well.
Cut spent stems to the ground.
The most drought hardy Achillea we've yet seen, easily surviving several months without water, once established.
A clump forming evergreen perennial with finely dissected fern-like foliage and flat heads of salmon pink flowers throughout the warmer months. Planted on mass it forms a wonderful tapestry effect as the flowers fade slowly through a range of colours.
Cut of flowering stems when spent.
Feed Well.
One of, if not the best Achillea we have ever grown. The flowers start of a deep salmon colour and slowly fade to cream, creating a very pleasing tapestry effect. Very floriferous and vigorous without being rampant.
Mass plant it for best effect, I would go so far as to say that you could probably not over plant it.
Slightly taller than most, with flat heads of soft lemon. Not overly vigorous and very lovely with little colour change as the flowers age. More useful with taller perennials than the identically coloured but shorter statured A. ‘Hella Glashoff’.
For any sunny soil.
A clump forming evergreen perennial with finely dissected fern-like foliage and flat heads of ivory coloured flowers throughout the warmer months.
A splendid perennial for a sunny bed. Quickly forms handsome clumps although best planted on mass.
Feed Well.
Remove spent flower stems to promote flowering, possibly with a whipper snipper or mower.
Not particularly vigorous, which could be considered a virtue, but the colour is rather intriguing, the colour of raw silk.
Flat heads of rich red flowers float above slowly spreading mounds of ferny green leaves.
Superior in colour to Achillea ‘Fanal’, a richer more solid red less quickly ageing to yellow.
At it's its best in light well drained soil.
Flat heads of rich salmon to terracotta over dense clumps of greyish green ferny leaves. A curious shade inspiring all sorts of wonderful colour combinations. Tough and vigorous without being weedy.
Found in moist canyons in Nevada and the Mojave Desert, this Columbine, while needing moisture and shade, tolerates our hot summers better than most, flowering for a long period from early spring to mid summer with small, long spurred, pale red and yellow flowers nodding above neat mounds of soft green, ferny foliage.
Unusual among Aquilegia in having grey-pink new growth.
Should self seed well given half a chance.
An outstanding annual replacement for the grossly more demanding garden Delphinium. Native to the Mediterranean it's most at home in sunny, well drained, alkaline soil where it produces handsome spires of densely crowded five petalled flowers in glorious shades of blue, purple, pink and white over feathery, soft green foliage.
Self sows freely if you can resist cutting the flowers for the vase, for which they are eminently suited.
Scratch seeds into bare soil where they are to grow in autumn or early winter.
Each pack contains 50+ seeds at the bare minimum.
The satiny, orange, 10cm, poppy flowers of this short lived perennial from western North America are borne in great abundance through spring and early summer over mounds of lacy, fern-like, glaucous leaves. One of the most popular annuals of all time, in our better suited climate it is more reliably perennial.
Drought hardy and self seeding it can be naturalised in any well drained, exposed and sunny position.
Shade and/or summer water will led to premature demise.
Scratch seeds into bare soil where they are to grow in autumn or winter.
Each pack contains 50+ seeds at the very least.
Lush green rosettes of delicate, lacy, fern-like leaves are topped in spring by clusters of soft mauvy blue flowers, supped by every nectar feeding insect that passes. An easy winter annual from south western North America that is often grown as a green manure and to attract pollinators to fruit or vegetable crops.
Scratch seeds into bare sunny soil during autumn or early winter.
Each pack contains surplus of 50+ seeds.
