    A very neat, refined version of Ladies' Mantle with small neat foliage shaped like a rounded seven point star. The leaf edges are picked out in silvery hairs. The sprays of pale green flowers have distinctive calyces, lending the flowers a spherical texture. Smaller and less rambunctious than its cousin Alchemilla mollis but with similar charming flowers that make such a lovely foil to other flowers, both in the garden or in a vase. Easier to grow than the similar Alchemilla alpina, under whose name this is often sold, which really demands alpine conditions with perfect drainage.

    A smaller form of the otherwise similar Alchemilla mollis with beautiful scalloped, serrated edged foliage which often takes on a blueish-grey hue. Typical chartreuse sprays of flowers are produced in Summer on purply stems and act as a lovely foil to other blooms. Grows about 6 inches high and 8 inches wide and, apart from needing sun for at least part of the day, is very undemanding.

    A real beauty with semi-double very large flowers of lovely shape and form. It is almost white suffused with soft rose-pink, becoming stronger flushed and edged on the reverse. Each flower has 12 individual petals which are arranged with great fineness, particularly beautiful when viewed from behind as the rich colouring is most apparent and you can best appreciate the way the petals curve and arch a bit like a waterlily. Tall and robust. Loreley was a Siren who sat on a granite outcrop near the town of St. Goarshausen in the Rhine Valley. From there she would lure passing sailors with her song. So bewitched they would ground their ship and perish 'neath the waters.

    Very simple starry flowers with widely spaced petals surrounding a yellow disc are artfully arranged along graceful thin black stems. Each time the stem divaricates (= splits in two, hence the name) a simple green leaf marks the break giving a simple elegance to the whole effect. This Aster is tolerant of quite dry shade without trouble which makes it very useful for illuminating a cool corner in Summer where the usual suspects for this environment are way past their best. Nice heart-shaped green leaves. Height 60cm, spreading habit.

    Aster schreberi (Eurybia schreberi) is one of those plants that has a deserved reputation for excelling in dry shade where it will produce a gracefully arching mound covered in late Summer with 3.5cm white daisies with reflexed petals. The leaves are large serrated and stay fresh even in dry shade. 1-1.5m across. In many ways like a more beefy (some would say coarser) version of Aster divaricatus.

    We've seen it written that Astrantia 'Ruby Wedding' makes it inferior to some of the clonally propagated ones out there, but we've not found that the case at all. The ones we have are every bit as rich in colour as Ruby Wedding and Hadspen Blood. They don't have the dark staining leaves of the Gill Richardson Group, but for flower alone they are a lovely deep red with flowers of a very decent size. Ruby Wedding has its origins at the RHS Wisley where it was selected as a superior seedling in a sowing of Astrantia major subsp. major. Its bracts are of a good size and are strongly red to purple in hue. It is the parent of the seed strain known as Claret which may or may not live up to its parents reputation. It i svery similar to Hadspen Blood which has a similar bloodline but was selected by Nori Pope of Hadspen Gardens.

    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.

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.

Like B.emiensis it has beautifully poised, shapely branched trusses of flowers, bell shaped at first becoming flared and wide separated with age. Also in common with B.emiensis its stems and calyxes are beautifully flushed with a pinky orange. The blooms are subtly shaded palest pink at first - just a suggestion of pink on a pure white, but as they age the central flush gradually grows until it is completely suffused rose-pink.

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.

    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.

Each flower is 4cm across with soft pink inner sepals above strongly curved white petals which can develop a purple stain at the mouth. They are a little larger than those of E.leptorrhizum, to my eyes a slightly bluer pink and have a more pronounced colour difference between the petals and inner sepals. They are one of the earliest Epimediums into flower. Leaves emerge with a subtle rusty blotching. Originally collected under the name E.leptorrhizum, but differing in the much shorter runners.

    This is another relatively recent introduction, having been collected in 1993 by the great Mikinori Ogisu and later being given his name. Mikinori Ogisu is credited with doing more to further the study of Epimediums in China than any other man. He is a great pioneering Plant Hunter and botanist who has introduced many new species and reintroduced many other only known from herbarium specimens. Epimedium ogisui is a beautiful pure white species, quite close to Epimedium latisepalum from which it differs in small leaf details. The flowers are an essay in purity, the inner petals are curved horns whose open throats overlap so that one opposite pair enclose the other, all surrounding the bright yellow anthers. The sepals are broader, with long points forming a cross in the same pure white as the petals. It flowers to approximately 30cm tall and grows in the wild at heights of about 1000m in the Sichuan province. Subgenus Epimedium, Section i. Diphyllon, Series B. Davidianae

It has the yellow leaves of the former, longer lasting than the parent, with flowers in a pinky-blue produced all throughout the summer. Its AGM says it is undoubtedly a good cultivar, but anyone who knows me, knows my thoughts on plants that pair yellow leaves and pink flowers so I'll shut up now.
