    A superb Sedum with smoky beetroot coloured foliage. Spotted by Graham Gough of Marchants Nursery in his parent's garden in East Sussex. Bees adore this plant, spending weeks visiting the mass of rosy pink flowers stary flowers. It has a compact habit, growing 35-50cm tall, flowering in July to September. Lovely as a foliage plant or to observe the insects that are drwn to the flowers - this year we had the pleasure of watching hornets (native) hunting bees over our sedums. They take time selecting a victim and once they pounce they wrestle it until they can bite it behind the head, flying off with the bee held facing forward.

    Trifolium ochroleucon

    £6.50

    Potsize - 1L

    Sulphur Clover. This is a British Native that is becoming sadly rarer as its native habitats are ploughed up for arable crops and its foothold on the road verges declines with indifferent verge managemnet regimes (Do check out Plantlife's campaign to influence better roadside management). It is a native of chalky boulder-clays and more rarely chalk sites. It is a large clover which will spread with short stolons. The heads of flowers are less sulphur-yellow and more creamy and are particularly attractive to bumblebees. likes brightness, but not the full glare of the sun. June to July

    Trifolium rubens

    £6.50

    Potsize - 1L

    Red Feather. This is possibly the showiest of all the clovers. It is fairly upright in growth with long terminal heads of flowers. The heads are downy and silvery in bud opening from the base upwards with rich ruby-red peas. Likes sunlight but dislikes extremes of temperature. Grow with adequate moisture in a slightly alkaline soil for best results. Non-invasive. Flowers late summer. Like all the clovers, nectar rich and therefore a magnet for the bees.

    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

    Trollius europaeus ‘Lemon Supreme’

    £6.00

    Potsize - 1L

    A vigorous but compact form of our native Globeflower introduced by Jelitto in 2010. It grows about half the height of the species, but like it has lovely clear lemon yellow flowers produced freely in Spring. 30cm. Whilst Trollius will grow in the open border, they only produce their best when given access to moisture at all times. They are best suited to the edges of ponds where the roots can seek out water.

  • Verbascum phoeniceum 'Flush of White' (White Bride) Verbascum phoeniceum 'Flush of White' (White Bride)

    Verbascum phoeniceum ‘Flush of White’ (White Bride)

    £6.50

    Potsize - 1L

    From a dark shining rosette of leaves arise several stems bearing relatively long-stalked white flowers with a soft fluttery edge. A relatively short lived variety. 60cm. May to August. Commonly known as the purple mullein, the parents of this plant hail form Southern Europe and Asia, growing to 60cm in flower which they do in the early part of Summer. It will self seed in the garden if happy but may not always throw whites unless carefully isolated as it hails from genes which display violets, purples and pinks in the flower. The phoeniceum hybrids are thought to have been one of the original parents back in the 1930's of the taller, very pretty Cotswold Hybrids such as 'Gainsborough' and 'Pink Domino'. Sadly, like their parents they too are not long lived and can need replacing periodically.

Our nursery, situated in the North of Dorset close to the Somerset border, is full of the plants we love.
