Geum "Totally Tangerine"
This is the best new breeding in Geum for a long while,with its large single flowers in a soft tangerine. This colour is able to be used with various other combinations. It is ideal for cutting as it has long stems and numerous buds per stem that open over a long period. Grows in most soils and prefers a sunny site.
It flowers continuously throughout the season making it a really great garden and cut flower variety.
Achillea "Pomegranette" Tutti Frutii series
The Tutti Frutti™ Series of Yarrows were bred in the Netherlands. They are more compact and bushy, than other forms. They have rich pomegranate red flowers of very uniform size, with large individual florets that hold their colour. Excellent for cutting, deadheading any old flowers throughout the season will encourage more new buds. They are suitable for the mixed herbaceous borders or amongst grasses, they also are suitable for growing in containers.
Aster Little Carlow
This wonderful aster is a cross between A.cordifolius and A.novi-belgii producing masses of lilac/purple flowers in Autumn. Just an aside which I am not going to delve into but these are going to be known by the name Symphyotrichum Little Carlow.
Do not be misled by the name Little Carlow it has nothing to do with its height it is named after a hill.
Lychnis Gardeners World
Most gardeners will be very aware of the normal Lychnis coronaria with the single flowers which can become a nuisance due to its habit of seeding freely. This double form will not seed but does produce a profusion of flowers throughout the summer season. A sunny dry site is ideal for this plant giving a great contrast with its silver foliage.
Salvia Madeline
This unusual two tone salvia was a chance seedling chosen by Peit Oudulf in the Netherlands.
It is happy in a sunny site grown either in a grass border or with mixed planting. By picking regularly or deadheading it blooms well through the summer.
