Featured Plants
A fast-growing, evergreen tall shrub known for its prolific, pendulous, bell-shaped white flowers. Large deep-green leaves, resembling those of a maple, are carried by sometimes dark branches, that add to its charm. A larger, denser and sturdier variety compared to others, it thrives in full sun to part shade, making it ideal for hedges, or screening in sunny, yet sheltered, positions.
A compact, dark‑green, drought‑tolerant iris producing rich orange flowers softly edged with yellow. Blooms appear in both spring and autumn.
Though we are unsure of its precise botanical name, we know this iris for its exceptional hardiness and resilience to frost and prolonged dry spells.
A compact variety of Leucanthemum superbum that stands out for its abundant pure white double-petalled flowers and toothed-edged dark green leaves. It thrives in full sun and well‑drained soil, and it attracts a multitude of pollinators.
Ideal for an early summer bloom in mixed perennial gardens, especially if paired with Iris, and Salvia.
A tall ornamental grass featuring upright, dramatic flower plumes that are silvery-beige in colour. Named after the world-famous English gardeners, this variety has broader leaf blades than the general species.
The feathery plumes reach up to 2 m and remain throughout the winter, adding movement and seasonal interest. Once established, it’s low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil.
It is an excellent choice for creating bold structural accents or for mass planting in mixed garden beds.
A robust succulent native that forms architectural rosettes of long, sword-shaped leaves, often with finely toothed margins and a blue-green hue. Mature plants produce a tall (up to 3 m), branching flower spike bearing numerous tubular, cream-to-yellow blooms, followed by bulbils and seeds. Drought and heat-tolerant, it’s ideal for dry and coastal gardens.
A spectacular tall and large ornamental grass that can reach up 2 m in height with its flower heads. The silvery-cream panicles are carried by long, arching stems that bend under the weight, providing the effect of plumes cascades. Extremely low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, it’s ideal for screening or mass planting in the background of large gardens.
A vigorous, deciduous climbing hydrangea with lacy, double-layered white flower clusters that glow against green, heart-shaped leaves. It thrives in part shade to full shade, and it prefers moist, well-drained soil.
The ‘Moonlight’ variety shows leaves with slightly silver veins on dark green leaves.
A compact, hardy perennial daisy that produces masses of deep violet-blue, daisy-like flowers with golden centers in late summer to autumn. Clumps of deep green leaves produces vertical flowering stems up to 60 cm in height.
Ideal in the middle of a mixed border or in small cottage gardens.
