    Aconitum carmichaelii 'Arendsii' is a rare flowering treat in September. This magnificent monkshood with its dense heads of deep blue flowers on stout 5ft stems makes a real statement at a time of the year when much else is fading in the garden. The foliage is glossy dark green and attractively cut and lobed, an asset in itself. (Sun or shade) CAUTION - ALL PARTS OF THIS PLANT ARE POISONOUS

    Agapanthus 'Blue Umbrella'. Tall (140cm) strong stems with large spherical heads crammed with rich cobalt-blue flowers. They are a beautiful sight to behold in full flower in Summer and have become particular favourites for larger pots in the English Country Garden. They have handsome dark green, broad strap-like evergreen leaves which can form impenetrable ground cover in milder Counties. Their evergreen nature makes them less robust in cold Winters and in pots they are best brought under cover (no heat is required, just hard frost protection). Flowers June-August. A. praecox subsp. Orientalis, A. africanus, A. umbellatus

    Agapanthus 'Enigma'. The first bicolour agapanthus to be bred in the UK by Ken Rigney. This lovely Agapanthus is neither blue nor white but a beautiful combination of both. Lots of trumpet shaped flowers are borne by reddish bronze pedicels and from white buds become more and more stained at the bases with purple-blue. When fully open the insides and main section of the petals are pure white but the tube and a stripe on the reverse of the petals is violet. The white stamens are tipped with dark anthers. Altogether something really different and a real eye-catcher. 75cm. July-August. Evergreen

    This is a compact form growing just 35-40cm high with the deepest lavender-blue flowers of any Amsonia. It arose in a seedling batch of Amsonia tabernaemontana on a nursery in Connecticut and is thought to possibly be a hybrid with Amsonnia hubrechtii. It pays its way all year with neat shiny green leaves on a compact easy care plant, topped with flowers in June to July which emerge from long dark buds. It takes on lovely yellow Autumn colours in Autumn. Perfect as an edging plant. It does start off slowly but builds up stature year on year, rarely needing dividing.

    Bred at the RHS in Chiswick in 1902, this variety didn't really make a mark until quite recently. A large and dramatic Aster with tall stiff shiny jet black stems topping out at nearly 5 feet high. Dark green leaves are also heavily flushed black by flowering time in late September. If that wasn't reason enough to include it at the back of your border it produces clouds and clouds of quite large mauvey-blue flowers at a time when the rest of the garden is fading.

This variety came out of 'Ada Ballard', which was one of the first really double Asters raised by Ernest Ballard, but which lacked the intensity of blue of its parents. It is also known for producing a forest of stems from a relatively compact root run. 'Marie Ballard' was selected just before Ernest died in 1952 and released in 1955. It combines the shapely, completely double flowers on sturdy stems with the intense lavender-blue Ernest was trying to capture.

    Blue False Indigo. Baptisia carries tall, straight open spikes of really blue pea flowers followed by decorative seed pods which dry well for Winter decoration. Whilst most of the species in this genus grow on sandy, dry woodland soils, Baptisia australis is a native of riverbanks. It enjoys drainage but likes moisture and a deep root. Best planted in a lime free soil in a place where it can be left undisturbed. It is slow starter and disappointing to start with, but give it time as once established it will gradually build over a number of years to a plant that can flower to 75cm tall and be quite showy and a real talking point.

    Brunnera macrophylla 'Silver Heart'.  A new introduction (2012) by Spilsbergen-Willemsen from the Netherlands. Superficially like a more silvered version of the popular Jack Frost, but generally considered to be a tougher more sun resistant variety on account of the thicker character of the leaves, which can also grow larger in size. Coarsely hairy, heart-shaped leaves are heavily silvered and picked out by dark green margins and veins, making fascinating patterns not unlike an intricate cathedral window. A picture from Spring to Autumn especially when given shade and adequate moisture to prevent scorching in high Summer. The Spring display is further enhanced by an airy cloud of icy-blue forget-me-nots on stems decorated with smaller but similarly marked leaves. 50cm plus
