This Aster opens a myriad of small (2cm) single lilac-pink daisies on a short twiggy bush. Although classified as a novi-belgii hybrid it leans quite heavily in both flower shape and branching habit towards the style of a lateriflorus. As the flowers mature, the central grey-yellow boss becomes much elongated to a prominent bun the colour of crushed strawberries and the petals begin to reflex. Whatever the classification, with the lovely warm pink colouring I just couldn't resist it. 80cm, October. Some mildew resistance. Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

A striking autumn flowering Aster with branching heads producing a mass of very bright cerise scarlet daisies warm enough to cheer the dullest day in fact when in full bloom the flower colour is strident enough to deliver a firm slap around the chops. It is just the brightest of pinks but it goes so well with the warm tones of Autumn. I'm not sure who Alma Potschke was, but she was clearly well worth remembering ( 'Andenken an' means 'in memory of' similar to the French version 'Souvenir de' ) . Very easy to grow. Height 1.3m (4ft). Like all the novae-angliaes it produces a series of unbranched stems topped with a branching terminal head of flowers. I am very grateful to Heather Farquharson whose research has recently answered my query above. I couldn't better her writing so I hope she doesn't mind me quoting it uncut. 'There is a German nursery near Stuttgart, www.poetschke.de, and the owner who developed the plant called it after his mother. I only hope he did not call it after her because of memories of her delivering firm slaps around the chops and the resulting rosy cheeks. Let's hope he had happier memories of her.' Its not uncommon for customer asking for this plant to decide that 5 consonants in a row is just too much and suffer verbal apoplexy somewhere soon after the 'Andenken'. Sometimes, with a glorious British disregard for correctness we settle for 'Posh' or maybe something like 'Potsky'. Having consulted with a German friend I am told the good lady's name should be pronounced more like 'Purr - sh - k' with a soft final 'k'. Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Aster 'Lye End Beauty' falls somewhere in-between 'Harrington's Pink' and 'Alma Potschke' in the colour stakes. The narrow petals are a rich, but not strident cerise on their inner surface and a silvery pink on the reverse. With a dark ruff of narrow bracts and rose tinted stems it was certainly well named. Like most novae-angliae types it is relatively tall with long straight stems which may need staking. Grow it well back in the border where it can hide away all summer, revealing its full glory in Autumn as those in front fade and are cut back.

I was delighted to come across this Aster recemtly as it is one of the short series of Aster raised by the late George Chiswell, who was well known to friends of ours. Timsbury has semi-double soft rose pink flowers and flowers in October at around 1m high. George Chiswell was born in Colwall in Malvern, the home of the famous Ballard Asters. He started his career working in the gardens of Old Colwall House near Malvern for Mrs Raynor-Wood. After WWII he moved on to Midsommer Norton in Somerset and in the 1960's ran his own nursery at the Priory there. Perhaps he had a fondness for the Asters he must have remembered from his youth in the Ballard trial grounds in Malvern, as he began a breeding programme of his own, producing a series of Asters, based on the Ballard strains, named after the mining villages of Somerset.

An early flowering hybrid between B.ciliata and B.emeiensis nice, narrow, glossy green leaves, flushed red beneath and on the serrated margins. 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. A delightful but little known hybrid that requires a sheltered position away from the coldest winds. Bred by Robin White.Links

Bergenia ciliata. The leaves of this choice species are large- up to 30cm across, well rounded and covered in tiny hairs. It makes a large clump, but considerably less dense than most bergenias. The flowers are pink, held erect and slightly fragrant. Slightly more tender than the more robust species and deserving of a spot with some shelter, especially for the flowers. Foliage will die back somewhat in winter. Leaves colour red in Autumn. Native of Afghanistan and Tibet. Prefers cool moist shade.Links

Chaerophyllum hirsutum 'Roseum'. A stout Umbellifer with quite a distinctive colouring. The leaves are soft and hairy in a similar manner to Sweet Cicely and apple green in colour. The flowers are sugary pink in close umbels, tighter than a Cow Parsley. If happy it can make a substantial clump, 2ft or more in leaf alone. Best with moisture. This plant naturally exists in a spectrum of forms from a barely blush to a strong sugar pink. This form is at the strong end of this spectrum. There are some things that fundamentally split marriages, deep unbridgeable divides that can never be healed. This plant is one of those - Dawn thinks it's just lovely, whereas I think the pink is just a bit pink for the oh so green leaves. Maybe its a girl-boy thing. I'm sure we'll get over it.Links

Cyclamen coum is the other cyclamen commonly grown out of doors in Britain. 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. Excellent for naturalising in sunny banks at the foot of trees, even conifers providing the branches don't come too close to the ground. They only require good drainage, some shelter and a little shade in late Spring which can be provided by deciduous shrubs and tress or even herbaceous plants or bulbs.

Cyclamen hederifolium heralds the onset of Autumn when its charming pink or white reflexed flowers push their way above ground in late August. Cyclamen hederifolium is the easiest species to grow as it will withstand extreme cold and frozen conditions but also high summer temperatures when it is protected by its dormancy. They thrive in poor soil, make good companions to bulbs and will thrive anywhere that offers quick drainage and reasonable light (not overshadowed) when in leaf through Winter. The leaves make wonderful ground cover in many situations but especially in difficult dry areas under trees. They have wonderful marbled patterns and form close knit mats of thick textured ivy-shaped leaves, often with lovely purply reverses. The leaves arrive shortly after the flowers (in September) and persist through the dullest months until Summer heat drives them into dormancy. Discount of 25p for 3-9 plants, 30p for 10 or more Our plants are grown from seed collected from a variety of plants in the garden, (they are not collected from the wild), and are therefore a mixture of leaf patterns and flower colours.Links

In hot situations where water might go short at the roots, the plant will take a period of Summer dormancy but will re-emerge the following Spring. Mulching helps to extend the flowering season. Great cut flower and surprisingly scented. Deer and Rabbit resistant, possibly on account of its yellow sap. You know a plant has been loved for years when it has numerous names.

What is also not in doubt is that they die reliably in many people's gardens. At the root of this is the great British Winter climate. Echinaceas want moist roots and dry free flowing air; what we give them is a regular deluge followed by misty, muggy days. The consequence is fungal rots and a dead Coneflower. You can help by planting your Echinacea in an open situation where the breeze will keep the crown drier, but the stark reality is that Echinacea are not reliable in everyone's garden. As a consequence will only consider complaints about Echinacea within a month of purchase and certainly not following a Winter.Links
