    A cross between Corydalis fleuosa and Corydalis omeniana from Ian Young's garden in Aberdeen. Vigorous clumps of limey, chartreusy-green juicy fern-like foliage over which come the strongly scented sky-blue flowers. Like Corydalis elata, but smaller and colouring only very slightly in the stems. Wintergreen and very hardy if grown in a moisture retentive soil which is not over wet and doesn't dry out in the Summer. Divide every three years to maintain vigour and encourage the best flowering. Flowers from Spring until June. 30cm

    Corydalis 'Spinners'. Distinguished by having flowers that age purple form a blue start earlier in the year. The flowering stems are pretty well upright and carry a distinctive red flush. The foliage mounds up into a ferny bush of fresh appley-green leaves which have a dusky cast in the winter from tiny brown spots. Early Spring. 30*30cm. For moisture retentive soil in shade or half shade. Possibly more evergreen than some.

    Corydalis 'Tory MP'. This certainly has some Corydalis elata blood in it. The habit is fairly upright with the flowers being held high on tall stems and can come a month later than varieties such as Corydalis flexuosa 'Pere David'. They are a rich blue in colour. I did wonder if this earned its name on account of it being true blue and upstanding, then I read that it came from being true blue and going on and on! - but then again perhaps it owes something to its habit of disappearing from sight over the Summer ! - I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions. Early Spring. 45*30cm. For moisture retentive soil in shade or half shade.

    An exceptionally pure white Phlox with large dense heads of flowers (6-9") of good substance. Grows to 3' (1m) and from its initial flowering in July it is capable of repeat flowering until September if dead-headed and well cared for. Superb, heady, rich fragrance. Nice apple-green foliage is resistant to powdery mildew and even spotting providing conditions are good. This variety was discovered in its native America as a chance seedling. For full sun to partial shade in a moist fertile soil with plenty of organic matter. 36-40". Native Phlox paniculata are reserved and nurtured by the Brandywine Conservancy Volunteers at Chadd's Ford, Pennsylvania. In August 1987, the Phlox seedlings were inspected by the coordinator and Richard Simon of Bluemount Nurseries. Together they selected a white fragrant form with clean foliage and it was named 'David' by Mrs FM Mooberry, the project coordinator, for her husband. 'David' may well be a direct descendant of the original Phlox sent to Europe in 1930 by John Bartram. It was 'Perennial of the Year' in America in 2002

    Primula florindae (himalayan cowslip). A primula that combines great poise and charm with stalwart reliability. From a stout clump of rounded leaves come 60-90cm stems from which hang an ever increasing number of pale lemon fragrant flowers dusted on the outside with a pale yellow farina.  The scent is the most delicious and complex of any of the primulas, rich and heady like a sweet nose full of Pears soap. I think it ranks as one of the best perfumes of the year - right up there with the best of the roses and so easy to grow as well. Any moist to soggy soil.
