Dicentra Spectabalis Alba ( Lamprocapnos spectabalis Alba)
£4.95
Dicentra Spectabalis Alba / Lamprocapnos spectabalis alba is a hardy perennial that flowers early in the Spring, it’s fresh, light green ferny foliage appears in early April or earlier if you’re in a sheltered area. The arching rows of white hearts are well in flower by mid April and last until July, Although Dicentra spectabalis Alba is fantastic in the shade where it’s white hearts glisten from the gloom, I have grown it in full sun here in damp west Wales and it has been very happy! Although this is a tough plant it does tend to have brittle stems that aren’t suited to a very exposed , windy site, but most average garden conditions suit it and it will reward you with a good sized clump.
Plants are supplied bare root October – April.
1.5/2ltr pots May – September ( Plants will be cut back May onwards to avoid basal damage to brittle stems)

Astrantia ‘ Venice’
Astrantia ' Venice' is a strong growing Astrantia that has rich red flowers held on straight stems that don't need staking, slug proof , Astrantia 'Venice' won't disappoint! It will grow in any moist well drained soil in sun or even shade but it's flower colour will be paler in the shade, as in my opinion it's one of the brightest reds available it's a shame to loose any of it's amazing tone.

Tricyrtis formosana 'Dark beauty' has almost black buds that open in September to reveal exquisite white maroon spotted flowers. Held on strong stems that don't need staking that are clothed in spotted leaves.

PRIMULA Wilsonii
Primula Wilsonii has rich ,dark red flowers that first appear in May, if we have a warm late summer they will have a second flush in August. Happiest in average to damp, well drained soil in sun or semi shade. Primula Wilsonii is evergreen so it doesn't get lost in the border over winter! and has aromatic roots and leaves, it forms a good clump that can be divided after flowering. It is in my opinion one of the classiest primulas!
