One of many fabulous Persicarias bred by Belgian Landscape Architect, Chris Ghyselen. Only recently have Persicaria been used widely in garden planting. Their increase in popularity due in part to the influence of Piet Oudolf. The great array of colours and forms available is due to Chris Ghyselen's passion for the development of new cultivars.
Persicarias are fantastic plants to incorporate into the garden. We grow them in amongst Rudbeckia, Sanguisorbia, Helenium, Miscanthus, Panicum and Pennisetum. The soil in these beds is enriched with compost, is moisture retentive and heavily mulched.
'White Eastfield' is a shorter variety that reaches 90cm high and has dark green leaves which are narrow and pointed. Numerous spikes of white slightly drooping flowers appear in Summer and continue until early Winter. 90cm x 90cm.

The stunning new growth is the feature of this woodland perennial. It has the darkest foliage of any Rodgersia. Fissured thick glossy bronze leaves support fluffy pink Astilbe like flowers to a height of 80-90cm. A semi-shaded spot with adequate moisture is required for best performance. 'Bronze Peacock' refers to the emergence of Spring foliage reminiscent of a Peacock's tail.

Part of the brand new Lake Series of Salvias. Bred for fast flowering vibrant colours, compact growth and to look good in containers. 'Lake Baikal' is half the height of popular Salvias like 'Amistad' and 'Black 'n Bloom'. Flowers are large, showy and of a blue that is electric yet clear and smooth. Sarah Raven describes it as Yves Sant Laurent blue which is perfectly fitting. This is a Salvia that is bred to please. We all think it's brilliant. Frost tender when young. 50cm x 50cm.

A stunning combination of fuschia pink petals and contrasting coral sepals. Unusual. Another Salvia that is part of the Salgoon Series which is bred for smaller size, abundance of flowers and the ability to look good in containers without excessive pruning. 40cm high x 30cm wide. Handles most soils but prefers well drained sites with added organic matter.

Native to Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and northwestern Spain. We planted Salvia barrelieri in our gravel garden as a trial. From mid Spring to mid Autumn it has not stopped flowering and has formed a decent clump. Large sage green leaves form a rosette from which spikes of pale lavender blue flowers rise to around 1m in height. Cold and heat tolerant. Stunning vertical appeal and a little hard to find.

A brilliant addition to the ever increasing range of new Salvias to explore. A striking black calyx supports a strong boysenberry purple flower which flowers through Summer and Autumn. Mid green leaves with a tinge of lime colouring make for a great contrast. Due to 'Smokey Jazz' having been bred for a neater tighter habit, it makes a good container specimen as well as striking garden feature. 80 x 80cm. Frost will cut this Salvia but is will surface strongly in the Spring. Great companion for silver foliage plants like Helichrysum and Santolina.

An Argentinian native that flowers for us 9 months of the year. It is a dependable feature plant in an area where other perennials have failed during climatic extremes. Sky blue flower spikes are held on top of mid green scalloped foliage. 1m high x 60cm wide. Contrasts well with ornamental grasses, Phlomis and silver foliage plants.
