From northern Europe and Siberia comes this uncommon, non-climbing hardy sweet pea. Bushy and compact, bearing purple or lavender sometimes pink or blue flowers and shiny pinnately-compound leaves, L. vernus is more sensitive to summer heat than winterĘs cold. It becomes a long-lived perennial if undisturbed in cool summer climates. Where summer swelters, as in the South, treat it as an early annual, like pansies.
Too often Shasta daisies provide their first flush of cheerful flowers with gusto then fizzle out in the heat of summer, often looking tired and untidy by early July. Not this one. Uniquely glowing in shades of creamy yellow and pure white, these daisies shine in profusion until the first autumn frost. Well-branched plants light up the garden with minimal effort, requiring only evenly moist, organically-enriched soil.
An especially fine, long-lived and sturdy species with its extraordinary flowering effects. Erect stems to 8 inches, rising from low, tidy mounds of textured green foliage, carry dense whorls of lavender-rose flowers for an extended show in early to midsummer. The durable, pretty species is too rarely encountered in gardens.
A seedling strain of the fabulous and reliable Japanese candelabra primula, producing vigorous clumps of spoon-shaped foliage and tall spires of whorled flowers in intense crimson red. Tolerant of extremely wet soil, in sun or partial shade.
This fine woodland perennial selected by Piet Oudolf deserves much wider use. It begins its show in early spring with 10 inch stems cloaked in deeply fragrant 1inch lavender-blue to pale violet flowers. Planted with Luzula nivea, the impressive effect lasts for weeks on end.
"Purplish-green, finely dissected foliage contrasts perfectly with the fragrant, pure white bottlebrush-like flowers that dangle at the tips of wand-like purplish stems on this tall, shade-loving perennial. Excellent for the back of the moist, lightly-shaded border, it is big and attention-grabbing but not coarse. Nicely complemented by grey or gold-leaved shade lovers like hostas. Provide organically-enriched soil and shade from hot afternoon sun."
