(Japanese Iris). Stunning variety with pale blue flowers with fine white edging. Sun, average to moist soil. 80 to 90 cms in height. Winter dormant.
Lovely unusual spikey ball-shaped clusters of deep blue flowers. Suits rockery. Winter dormant.
Needs collected or trimmed back from 1 October. White monk's hood. 1.2 to 1.5 metres. The long stems of lovely white flowers are useful for brightening a shady corner mid-summer. The flowers resemble the hoods that monks wear over their heads. Cut off flower stalks as they fade. Excellent cut flower. Part to full shade. Winter dormant.
Sun or partial shade. To one metre +. Fertile humus rich, well drained soil. Smothered in showy clusters of pure white, sweet pea-like flowers among grey-green leaves. A vigorous climber, it looks lovely scrambling over a sunny wall or through a hedge or evergreen shrub, although initially it needs to be tied into supports. No fragrance. Cut back the plant to ground level in early spring. Winter dormant.
(Burning Bush). Plants are 2 years old. Mature plants are up to 90 cms in height. Purple-mauve flowers with darker veins early summer, highly fragrant lemon scented leaves. A beautiful plant when in flower and a favourite of mine. Lovely as specimen plant where you can brush past it. Usually take 4 years to flower. Winter dormant.
