    Acanthus dioscoridis var. perringii. A short really spiky acanthus for growing in a spot that is warm and dry. Full sun will bring the best flowering when the highly unusual short spikes of hooded flowers can best be appreciated. Differs from Acanthus dioscoridis in the divided nature of the leaves. Flowers pale to deeper pink covered by pink veined hoods. 40cm. A good alternative to the larger species where space is limited.

    The spiniest, prickliest form of Acanthus spinosus. The leaves are so finely cut that they are reduced to a veinal framework with every part of the leaf a handsome silver spike. It thrives in hot dry conditions although it flowers less precociously than the type. Still the foliage is amazing with its combination of dark green ground almost completely silvered over. It's ferocious mind - our neighbour grows it in his plant jail alongside his golden stinging nettle ! 75cm

    Asarum europaeum - Asarabacca. Shining evergreen foliage interest for moist shade where creeping rooting stems form loose ground cover. Curious fly pollinated flowers appear in spring. Asarum europaeum - Asarabacca - may not be the most showy but everything about it cries out class. The leaves are a lovely glossy deep green and evenly rounded, the perfect counterpart to filigree plants like Maidenhair ferns. It will grow in dry shaded locations where it will make good groundcover and if you care to lower your nose to it you'll catch  a rich spicy aroma. It is certainly one of my favourites. CAUTION. All parts of this plant are poisonous.

    This is a great form of Hart's Tongue fern that is little seen. It was given to us years ago by Mike and Dilly Smith and it has been brightening the garden by our back door ever since, getting better by the year. It is a fine member of the Crispum Group with deeply ruffled edges to the leaves that are worthy enough on their own. However, given sufficient light, the leaves are a rich yellow for most of the Spring, only darkening to green late in the Summer. The light is essential to get the golden colour, but direct sun will cause the leaves to burn. In shade it will be entirely green, but somewhere in-between it can show partial yellowing or even variegated stripes. Asplenium Scolpendrium 'Bolton' is very similar. 30-40cm tall. It is sterile and difficult to propagate.

    Athyrium otophorum 'Okanum' is a very choice fern with striking colouration. The young fronds emerge a pale ochre with prominent maroon veining, giving the Spring plant far more the colours you expect of Autumn. It is especially striking with the light shining through the foliage. As spring progresses, the fronds assume a blue green tint.  A lovely fern to brighten a moist dark corner. 60cm. Retains its fronds longer than most female ferns. Deciduous, needs moisture.

    A little known Chinese member of the Ranunculaceae which is rarely offered. It has beautiful dark green shining orbicular leaves on long thin, but stiff petioles. The leaves have substantial texture and an overlay of dark peaty-brown staining which varies in intensity with the time of year. At its best it rivals a piece of well patinated bronze. Named calthifolia after the resemblance to the shape and arrangement of leaves in our native Marsh Marigold, but Beesia is a lot classier, indeed my brother's wedding buttonholes were set off with these lovely leaves. The flowers are starry, a little like an enlarged tiarella on stiff stems, creamy white and produced continuously. For moisture retentive, humus rich soil in shade. This plant was introduced to cultivation by Dan Hinckley, a fact for which he is deservedly proud.

    Bergenia ciliata. The leaves of this choice species are large- up to 30cm across, well rounded and covered in tiny hairs. It makes a large clump, but considerably less dense than most bergenias. The flowers are pink, held erect and slightly fragrant. Slightly more tender than the more robust species and deserving of a spot with some shelter, especially for the flowers. Foliage will die back somewhat in winter. Leaves colour red in Autumn. Native of Afghanistan and Tibet. Prefers cool moist shade.

    Cyclamen coum is the other cyclamen commonly grown out of doors in Britain. It is a little fussier than Cyclamen hederifolium but essentially requires quick drainage, good winter light with a little shade in the hottest part of the day come Spring and shelter from cold drying winds. It is very hardy but dislikes freezing or wet winds. Its marbled kidney-shaped leaves appear in September and persist until late Spring when higher temperatures and sunlight force the into a protective dormancy. The flowers are more dumpy and rounded than typical cyclamen flowers and come in a range of colours from white through pink to deep magenta, always with a darker blotch at the mouth of the paler eyes. They liven up the Winter garden, appearing as they do from Christmas onwards, being remarkably cold tolerant. Excellent for naturalising in sunny banks at the foot of trees, even conifers providing the branches don't come too close to the ground. They only require good drainage, some shelter and a little shade in late Spring which can be provided by deciduous shrubs and tress or even herbaceous plants or bulbs.

    Darmera peltatum (Peltiphyllum peltatum). All through the summer months, the fresh green, broad circular leaves make a bold dense clump before turning lovely scarlet in Autumn. The spring sees large round heads of pink stained flowers rise 3ft high like drumsticks sprouting from the soil. For moist to boggy soil. 125cm tall spreading. Very often planted by the side of a pond, but also suitable for growing in shade, even in light woodland provided there is moisture to be found at the root. The leaves sprout from a network of thick rhizomes that creep over the top of the soil in a dense mat.

    The beautiful Bleeding Heart or Lady-in-the-Bath. Fresh green ferny foliage above which arch stems dripping pink & white flowers like dewdrops. A picture of poise and grace. 3ft in a nice moist soil. The fleshy roots are delving and brittle so its best not disturbed and best sited in a sheltered situation in sun or partial shade with plenty of humus. In hot situations where water might go short at the roots, the plant will take a period of Summer dormancy but will re-emerge the following Spring. Mulching helps to extend the flowering season. Great cut flower and surprisingly scented. Deer and Rabbit resistant, possibly on account of its yellow sap. You know a plant has been loved for years when it has numerous names. For this one try Bleeding Hearts or Ladies-in-the-Bath, Ladies-in-a-boat or Dutchman's Breeches or even Lady's Locket and Lyre Flower. The ladies-in-the-bath/boat reference is only apparent if you take an open flower, turn it upside down and pull the outer petals apart, then it becomes obvious.

    A most unusual fern with magnificent and oddly shaped fronds that mark it out as quite distinct from any other Dryopteris. The leaves have a leathery quality with 2-5 pairs of broad pinnae and a long pointed terminal pinnule. (a further subdivision of the primary leaflets, known as the pinnae). It requires adequate moisture and a sheltered position as it is not bone-hardy in every Winter (covering the crown would help greatly in very cold Winters). In a choice position it can remain evergreen, but it will become deciduous as a protective measure against the cold. Use the old fronds as protection for the crown. It is slow to bulk up and propagate but well worth the wait. fronds eventually get 20-50 by 20-35cm and the rhizome will gradually creep. From japan and Taiwan. Zone 8, which includes most of England and Wales and the West coast of Scotland.

    This is really a very fine Sea Holly indeed in more than one sense of the word. Eryngium 'Pen Blue' is in the x zabelii family with sea-green tripartite leaves. The flowers are borne on 60cm violet stems and are a picture of beauty. The collar is particularly wide in comparison to the central cone and its segments, radiating like the spokes of the devil's chariot are narrow, spiky and a striking electric Blue. Further adding to the effect, the flowers are beautifully arranged and composed with the secondary flowers slightly smaller and held a little lower. Altogether a class act and a magnet for the bees. Found by Jane Edmunds in her garden in Penselwood, Somerset.

The leaves are a simple elegant apple green, long and tapered in shape. As you would expect from a plantaginea cross, the flowers are large and fragrant (with perhaps just a whiff of aniseed?), lilac in bud, opening white.
