    Not a big blousy primadonna, but nevertheless a useful plant full of its own charms. Useful as it is late flowering with compact heads of small white snowballs which are just full of nectar. The leaves are fresh apple green with stems that will colour up mahogany if the plant is in sun. Tones in well with other plants and a good clean colour for a white scheme. Equally at home in the border of wild garden. 100-150cm

    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.

    This is the plain native form of Lady Fern, a plant that can be found throughout Britain growing in damp shady sites, but avoiding calcareous soils. It is an extremely hardy species and one that is quite variable from bipinnate to tripinnate sometimes. Whichever, it has a finer appearance than the Male fern and to my nose it is one of the 'ferniest smelling' of the ferns. It is fairly soon cut down with the onset of the frosts and is fully deciduous. Whilst a moist atmosphere is always an advantage and that coupled with a moist site will allow this fern to show of its best, once established they will actually tolerate quite dry sites, though with a cost on performance and leaf quality in dry spells.

    This is the cruciate form of our native Lady fern. The leaves retain the lovely delicate nature of the species, but are distinguished in that alternate pinnae along the frond point either up or down from the plane of the leaf so that, were you to look down the length you could see a cross pattern. Often referred to as The Queen of the Ferns, it was a much treasured Victorian find. The tip of each pinna is also slightly crested which accentuates the overall frond outline. As with the native form, this is best in light shade with access to moisture at all times. grows to 90cm maybe a little more.

    This is a selection of the North American form of our native Lady Fern which has stipes (frond stems) that are picked out in a rich ruby red. The full colouration is not apparent on young plants, but increases after plants have passed through their first frosty winter and then intensifies with age. Good nutrition will also intensify the colour. Overall the fronds are delicate in texture and posses that lovely 'ferny smell' when brushed. Needs constant access to moisture to grow at its best, achieving 90cm in height. Discovered in Vermont by John Lynch of the New England Wildflower Society.

    Feather Reed Grass. This fine variety was named after the distinguished German nurseryman Karl Foerster (1874-1970) who selected and introduced it. It is a sterile hybrid (C.arundinacea x C.epigejos) and forms a narrow column, 60cm high in leaf and 150cm plus in flower. The flower spikes are narrow feathery plumes, purpley green to start, ageing a lovely golden shade in Autumn and persisting well into the Winter. It will tolerate a wide range of soils, including heavy clay and compacted soils and whilst it prefers a sunny drier site, it will tolerate a wet site well. The first grass to win Perennial Plant of the Year, which it did in 2001

    A lovely variety with leaves that begin the year a rich bronze in colour. This colour fades as the flower stems develop so that by the time the plant is in full flower the leaves have toned down to a rich dark green with just the flower stems showing a purple flush. However the contrast of dark leaves and shining sunshine yellow flowers as they first emerge from the buds is a most beautiful thing. A variety that deserves to become well known. Marsh Marigolds are amongst the first flowers of Spring, flowering throughout the month of April.

    There are two factors that set this lovely variety apart, its size and its colouring. It is larger than the species and perhaps a little more upright with leaves that are of a fresher paler green, held on pink stained petioles. The flowers, which are also large, are of a bright lemon yellow rather than the more chrome yellows of most varieties. Will root from the nodes on the flower stems.

    As Marsh Marigolds go this one is relatively compact in growth, shorter in all its parts. However it is the flowers that are the chief attraction. They start off looking like a normal Marsh Marigold with the tightest anemone centre you could imagine. Then, as the flowers age, the centre petals grow out until you have a full blown miniature pom-pom dahlia of a flower in rich glowing gold. 30cm spread.

    Queen Anne Thistle. This is a native thistle from Europe, being found right across into Russia. It's no shrinking violet, but unlike some of the other members of the Cirsium genus it tends to stay put in one place and not become 'weedy'. It grows a generous basal rosette of largely non-spring leaves and throws up tall branching flower spikes up to 2m plus topped with generous thistle-knobs at the top. If you have the space its a great statement plant and great too for the wildlife, providing nectar for insects, seeds for the finches and a food plant for Painted Ladies. For a moist soil.

    Melancholy Thistle. Broader leaves, a more spreading habit and larger flowers than its cousin Cirsium rivulare. Later in the year to flower as well. The reason for the name heterophyllum comes from the variability of the leaf form, which becomes more divided on the flowering stalks than the basal rosettes. In shade this plant will grow well but flower poorly. Give it plenty of moisture and sun to see it at its best. The plant was considered a possible cure for sadness. Nicholas Culpepper in 1669 said that it "makes a man as merry as a cricket"

    Aptly named, this has to be one of the best new red Crocosmias. Intensely vermillion red, the wide petalled big flowers have no hint of orange, while the throat burns even darker. The narrow pleated leaves are upright rather than floppy and are not as tall as the old Lucifer, nor as inclined to spread. Flowering at 90-120cm in July and August and into September these blooms prefer a not-too-dry position and are very effective in 'hot' schemes.

    Lesser Celandine. Gold-edged, bronze buds open to a typical celandine colour, the difference being that Ficaria verna 'Montacute' (Ranunculus ficaria) has 4 ruffs of petals, prettily incurved to reveal the contrasting bronzy reverse. The petals are neatly square-ended, almost as if they have been trimmed. Unlike 'Flore Pleno' the centres of the flowers are open revealing a green eye surrounded by a boss of orange anthers. The leaves are arrow shaped, green flecked with silver. A favourite of mine and one of the earliest to flower. Said to have been rescued from a verge in Montacute, Somerset in 1994 just prior to being destroyed in roadworks.

    (Filipendula hexapetala 'Flore Pleno') I love this double form of meadowsweet. It has a gentle elegance with its coral-bronze buds opening to clusters of creamy white, tiny double 'roses' all carried on bronzy wiry stems. Attractive rosettes of dark ferny foliage (a bit like Achillea foliage all beefed up). I can just imagine this in a country brides bouquet, long before gypsophila was ever invented. 45cm high in flower in mid-summer. Unlike most Meadowseet this comes from upland chalk, and whilst not being a water lover, neither does it appreciate drought . As to alkalinity it seems remarkably indifferent.

Flip the flower over and you find it is washed over in a lovely apricot shade with a dark red calyx and stem. All in all its enough to get you grabbing your skirt and bursting into song.

    I think this is a slow burner rather than a red hot Latin lover, but it's certainly a Geum to fall in love with. Geum 'Flames of Passion' is relatively short and neat at a foot high. The flowers are 2cm across and look down in a rather coy fashion. They are strawberry pink, slightly ruffled with 3 rows of petals and a charming yellow centre with a green eye. The dark maroon buds and stems round off the effect nicely. So if you are feeling coy yourself, perhaps it's time to give passion a try.

    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.

    Oak Fern. A verdant treasure of the freshest green. The short but upright stems carry their pinnae horizontally, an attractive feature. They are said to resemble an Oak's leaves, hence the species name dryo (Greek drys - Oak), pteris (fern), but this takes a bit of a leap of imagination that I have failed to muster ! It is however a really lovely little deciduous fern for ground cover in moist shady places on non-alkaline soils. The books say it needs acid soil, but our improved Oxford Clay at neutral pH seems to suit it well. It is a British Native and is found very widely if sporadically in woods over much of Continental Europe and N.America. Only 20cm high and a slow but natural spreader. Deciduous.

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.
