    Anthemis 'Susanna Mitchell' is a lovely English hybrid perennial marguerite, between A. cupaniana and A. tinctoria, with creamy coloured single daisies with primrose yellow centres over a mass of silvery ferny foliage. Its cupaniana parentage gives it the lovely weed smothering mound of silvery filigree foliage and its ability to flower from as early as April, whilst A.tinctoria gives it the subtle creamy yellow hue and a bit more height (up to 50cm). A perfect plant for early insects with its rich nectar source, it enjoys a sunny spot in well drained, even a bit dry soils. It was found as a chance hybrid in the mid 1980's in the garden of Susana Mitchell and introduced in the 1990's by Blooms. Susanna planted Anthemis tinctoria, a plant that had been handed down in the family from her great Grandmother, next to Anthemis cupaniana. A chance seedling grew up and was admired, prompting her to deliberately make the cross subsequent times. Her daughter Susie Mitchell still grows the same Anthemis tinctoria and uses her Mother's lovely cross as her signature in all the gardens she creates and tends as Cotswold Garden Creations. Please note, if you are looking for the pure white Anthemis, it is A.cupaniana you want. Susanna Mitchell is cream, fading from lemon.

    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.

Each time the stem divaricates (= splits in two, hence the name) a simple green leaf marks the break giving a simple elegance to the whole effect.

    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.

    I've seen this plant described several times as a pale pink form of Aster 'Little Carlow', but is in fact a pink form of Aster laevis, a much larger plant. It shares the lovely dark stems of the species which beautifully accent the pale pink flowers which open from darker buds and gradually fade towards white. The centre conversely starts yellow and ages dark ruby red. Greener in the leaf than the species it is also a little smaller, growing to 1.5m. A relatively new cultivar from France, the name meaning 'The Monastery'. It is also known by the name Aster 'Vasterival'.

Freshly opened flowers have green eyes, which adds to the immaculate effect. Flowering late in the year it is at its best in October where it cheers the Autumn garden both visually and as a rich nectar source for the insects to fill up on before Winter. The flowers even withstand the brief Autumn frosts to give a long lasting display. Rarely offered but bomb proof to grow, even the ubiquitous mildew doesn't touch it. The Blue 'Climax' grows at Great Dixter and is described as the trusted old friend that has performed for decades.

    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'.

    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. A chance seedling which occurred at Lye end in Woking in the 1950's along with several others that are named after the garden. 130-175cm

    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.

    We've seen it written that Astrantia 'Ruby Wedding' makes it inferior to some of the clonally propagated ones out there, but we've not found that the case at all. The ones we have are every bit as rich in colour as Ruby Wedding and Hadspen Blood. They don't have the dark staining leaves of the Gill Richardson Group, but for flower alone they are a lovely deep red with flowers of a very decent size. Ruby Wedding has its origins at the RHS Wisley where it was selected as a superior seedling in a sowing of Astrantia major subsp. major. Its bracts are of a good size and are strongly red to purple in hue. It is the parent of the seed strain known as Claret which may or may not live up to its parents reputation. It i svery similar to Hadspen Blood which has a similar bloodline but was selected by Nori Pope of Hadspen Gardens.

    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.
