Chelone obliqua

Chelone obliqua (Turtlehead) is an undeservedly uncommon plant with dark pink snapdragon flowers atop stiff upright stems, set off by dark green foliage. It’s one of the last plants to flower, late summer and into autumn, in the water garden before everything goes to sleep and is a good doer without being invasive or troublesome. The flowers are followed by attractive seed pods.

Prefers a wet or continually moist soil in sun or part shade.

Delphinium ‘Diamonds Blue’

Very different from the traditional tall spiky Delphiniums, this strain forms a low, bushy mound of lacy green leaves. Plants bear loose sprays of single blooms all summer long, in a gorgeous electric blue shade featuring a purple spot on each petal. Ideal for containers, the rock garden and for edging the sunny border. Remove faded flower heads regularly to encourage repeat blooming. An outstanding cut flower.

Prefers full sun and free draining soil.

Digitalis ‘Dalmatian White’

You won’t be disappointed with this new foxglove if you like to see immediate results, as it will nearly always flower in its first year. The pure-white flowers that form on the upright branching stems, have a pretty freckling of plum coloured markings in their throat, and if cut back promptly, there may well be a second flush of flowers later in the year.

Prefers part shade in a rich free draining soil.

We also stock ‘Dalmatian Peach’.

Tubular petals of strong amber-orange fading to yellow-orange tips with a large russet eye over a low mound of green leaves.

Gaura ‘Karalee White’

A graceful, hazy plant with airy wands of white, fading to pink, star-shaped flowers with distinctive long anthers like daddy long-legs, held on slender stems from May to October. This exceptionally long-flowering deciduous perennial, with slender, grey-green leaves, looks equally at home in an informal cottage-style garden or among soft grasses in a new perennial border. This variety is particularly free flowering, drought-tolerant and will soak up the sun. Give it space, as its wispy stems will lean over other plants and pathways.

Prefers full sun and a free draining soil.

Hosta ‘June’

In summer it produces spikes of lavender-grey trumpet-shaped flowers.
