We've had a long association with this lovely little coreopsis. In 1994 I bought a book called 'Bold romantic Gardens' by Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden where Coreopsis 'Moonbeam' featured in this horticultural masterpiece. Since this time we have always made room to grow this ever popular perennial. Bright star like lemon yellow flowers are held above airy clumps of fine-needle like foliage. It brings a fine textured contrast to the landscape. Unlike other Coreopsis it doesn't self-seed and is a long lived perennial. Perfect in a pot as well as in the ground amongst grasses and sedums. Approx. 40cm high x 40cm wide.

Chocolate Cosmos is a fun little native Mexican plant with dark burgundy (with a hint of brown) flowers that bob above the foliage. It truly does have a scent of chocolate that is best smelt in the afternoon of a hot summer day. Best in fertile well drained soil or as a pot specimen. My mum has had some in her garden for a decade and they keep popping back year after year with little care required. Fabulous partnered with Carex testacea, Sedum 'Matrona' and silver foliage. 40cm x 40cm.
