    Chrysanthemum ‘Chelsea Physic Garden’

    A particularly strong growing variety that is very late into flower, regularly flowering from October and into December. The 6cm flowers are fairly well double, even when fully open the centre has a yellow glow, but no central disc. The petals are a rich burnt orange with enough of an incurve to show a pale apricot reverse. Very similar in tone to Paul Boissier.

  • Geum 'Beech House Apricot' with Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' Geum 'Beech House Apricot'

    Geum ‘Beech House Apricot’ (not)

    £6.50

    Potsize - 1L

    Geum 'Beech House Apricot'. The tightly crowded clump of fresh apple- green foliage forms a perfect foil for the wide open rich apricot flowers. For a moist soil in sun or shade. 25cm. Very reliable colour for early season at the front of the border. We've had this plant for years and can't remember where we bought it. Recently at a plant sale we met with Angela Whinfield who introduced us to Peter Hale, the man who originally introduced Beech House Apricot. he found it growing in his mother's garden at Beech house in Edington and at the time of introduction was a significant colour break. As the true 'Beech House Apricot' is half the height of ours and much paler ours is clearly wrongly named. Its probably a seedling, un-named, but non-the-less a strikingly good orange.

    Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’

    £6.50

    Potsize - 1L

    Introduced by Hardy's in 2010, this Geum has built up a great reputation for reliability and impact. It is a sterile hybrid that will hold its zingy semi double orange flowers on stems up to 90cm tall and keep on producing them over an extended season. The flowers can vary in shade from a rich orange back towards a more mellow shade. From a distance it reminds us somewhat of Geum 'Hilltop Beacon' but the growth habit is much more upright and tighter packed.

    Primula veris 'Sunset Shades' (red cowslip). Cowslips with party dresses. It is likely that these cowslips share some of their genes with red flowered polyanthus and although still typically cowslip shaped, they are larger flowered, more flambouyant plants with flowers in shades of red and orange. They make super garden plants enjoying the same conditions as P.veris: they need to see the sun but without drying out in summer and flower in April to June.

    Rudbeckia triloba ‘Prairie Glow’

    £6.50
     

    Potsize - 1L

    Rudbeckia triloba 'Prairie Glow'. A real beauty for the Summer and Autumn garden. A mass of small, black-eyed daisies are well spaced out all over a bush 3-4ft tall like a warm glowing sunset. The new flowers are reddish with yellow tips but as they mature the red bleeds until no two flowers are alike. A plant that manages impact without being over dense. July-September. This Rudbeckia can be so floriferous that it frequently flowers itself into an early grave. Hence it can be best to treat it as potentially annual.

    RHS AGM

    Potsize - 1L

    Possibly the tallest of all the Trollius, standing up to twice as tall as some of its European counterparts. The flowers stand up high and proud above the glossy dark foliage, 2 inches across, wide open with a central blazing cage of narrow petaloid segments. With the glowing orange colour it reminds me of a the Olympic cauldron in full blaze. It is a native of high rainfall areas in Northern China up through Siberia and so wants a cool constantly moist position to thrive. Reliable and hardy and excellent by a pond where it will never fail to get noticed when in flower in May. 90cm
