Geum ‘Gimlet’
£5.50
Geum ‘Gimlet’ has the softest, primrose yellow,semi double flowers. It is happy in full sun or semi shade, in fact it grows well in full shade but doesn’t produce as many flowers, but the foliage looks fab! A damp site is where it is really at home( damp but not completely soggy boggy!) and will bulk up into a good clump within a season. Although it’s main flowering flush is in the spring if it is dead headed it will often come back into flower and treat you to more blooms in August – September.Geum Gimlet is a great addition to the perennial border, giving you flowers almost all summer.

1.5ltr pot
Dicentra Spectabalis Alba ( Lamprocapnos spectabalis Alba)
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)
Schizostylus coccinea ‘major’
Schizostylis coccinea 'Major' brings a burst of colour late in the season when everything else is thinking of of going to bed for the Winter! It is happy in average growing conditions but doesn't like to dry out too much in the Summer, but neither does it like too much wet in the Winter, this makes it sound as if it's fussy but it's really a very easy plant that grows well here in Wales even with our somewhat soggy Winters. It will form a good sized clump eventually at least 60cms or more wide that can be divided preferably in Spring , although I have divided Schizostylis all through the seasons and it's never let me down.
Plants are supplied - bare root Oct - March . 9cm pot - March onwards.
Corydalis ‘Spinners’
Corydalis 'Spinners' is a cross between Corydalis Elata and Corydalis Flexuosa it's delicate sky blue flowers are held above divided ferny foliage , happy in most soils alkaline to acid, in sun or shade, as long as it doesn't dry out! after flowering in the spring and early Summer Corydalis 'Spinners' will go dormant until the Winter when it starts to reappear.
Plants are supplied bare root December - February . 1.5ltr pot March onwards. If plants are sent when in full growth it may be necessary to cut them back for postage.
