    This is an old variety with a very good heritage. It was selected by Lewis Palmer, the breeder of the Headbourne range of Agapanthus. It is a strong growing variety with a distinctive pale pinkish grey-purple flower colour. The stems are brown and the pedicels ruddy. Despite having a broad leaf, usually indicating a degree of tenderness, this variety has proved to be relatively hardy, especially with leaf cover.

    A very refined looking variety with more than a nod towards A.'Windsor Grey'. It is fairly short in flower at around 45cm with well shaped flower heads, each carrying flowers of a pale powder blue wash, striped in a diffuse cobalt. The green of the buds and red stain to the flower stalks creates a very classy looking flower.

    With millions of beautiful small 2.5cm single daisies in the most delightful shade of lilac which just keep coming and coming. Generally self-supporting forming a goblet shaped bush which remains well clothed with foliage which takes on a handsome burgundy tint in Autumn which is echoed in the tint the flower's central boss assumes with age. Particularly effective when the centres of the starry flowers are a multitude of shades from lemon yellow through amber flushed to ruby. August-October. 75cm

    MICHAELMAS DAISY. What a delightful Aster this is. The flowers are semi-double, but nearly so full as to be approaching double. In colour they are a gorgeous pastel pale-lavender with even paler tips shown off beautifully by the dark foliage. towards the centre of each flower there are a few unruly narrow petals which dance along with the yellow stamens and green eye in a most delightful way. A shorter growing Aster at around 50cm high. Will thrive in sun or part shade. September-October

    This is one of those plants whose flowers warrant the closest of inspection as they posses the sort of intricate beauty that can easily get overlooked amongst some of their more brash cousins but which nevertheless is as exquisite as they come. Each flower is a translucent lavender-white shaded to the edges and picked out lavender in the veins. Where the petals overlap the colour is stronger and from the white eye protrude a green style and pink anthers. Typical green G.phaeum foliage with small but distinct chocolate spots. Bred by an unknown Dutch gardener.
