Verbena bonariensis has stiff tall stems up to 6ft, crowned with ever expanding heads of pinky mauve flowers. Verbena bonariensis has become a well deserved star of so many gardens as it produces such a long period of nectar rich flowers in a way that is both eye catching but light enough to see right through. Flowers from late summer onwards getting better and better as it goes as the heads get broader and broader. It is an absolute magnet for butterflies of all kinds. Sunny position. It will replace itself from seed if conditions are suitable Although often treated as an annual owing to its ability to flower in its first year, Verbena bonariensis is perfectly well suited to more permanent plantings. Given good drainage it will withstand temperatures of -5C to -14C and will readily sow itself around from seed, especially into gravel.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or over -
This fascinating and unusual Verbena was discovered in the public garden in Bampton, Devon and has been identified as a variant of V.officinalis var. grandiflora which hails from S.Europe. Quite how it came to Devon is a mystery - perhaps seed travelled home as a holiday memento or on the feet of a bird. It is related to our native vervain. It emerges in Spring from a tight evergreen crown as dark purple shoots clothed with glossy, serrated purple leaves which have a real metallic sheen. The dark purple stems become wiry and branched making a twiggy bush about 2 feet high covered in tiny pink flowers over a very long period. For well drained soil in full sun. Our 'Bampton' are cutting raised from a good coloured clone

Vinca difformis 'Jenny Pym'. This Vinca grows two sorts of shoots, hence its name difformis. One shoot is long and barren, the other much shorter, upright up to 30cm tall and bears the flowers. These upright shoots are clustered and in this form carry pink flowers with a distinct white central region. Vinca difformis is quite similar to Vinca major in many respects, differing most significantly in its habit of flowering right from Autumn, through mild Winter spells to Spring. Vinca difformis is not as hardy as the more common species but is reliable in the South West and good elsewhere with the shelter of a wall. Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

We're a bit confused over this one. We bought this plant in micropropagated several years ago as Zantedeschia 'Flamingo', but is less fully pink than we expected. We are not sure if it was supposed to be the plant bred in the Netherlands by The Klaver Brothers, Theo and Kees for the cut flower trade, or another cultivar which vies for the name. Whichever, believe the pictures which show the plant that we have. It has the beautiful chalice form of Zantedeschia but coloured with a lovely soft sugar pink, especially on the outside. It is a vigorous grower that will bloom freely once established and cut beautifully (cut it as the bud opens). 80cm. For a warm sunny spot with access to plenty of moisture. The crowns are best protected with a deep mulch in the early years and otherwise if Winters turn very cold.
