Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra

Caryopteris is a small deciduous shrub with aromatic grey-green leaves and delicate blue flowers that starts blooming in late summer which makes it ideal for adding colour to the garden later in the season. We recommend planting Caryopteris into patio containers when still small and then into your garden border once it has outgrown the container. Once the plant has established it is very tolerant to drought.

This rare herbaceous plant has thin stems with wavy leaves that are topped by delicate cream and purple flowers shaped like little teacups. The flowers appear in spring and bloom all the way through to summer. This delightful plant is hardy and always grows back even after very cold winter weather.

Monarda is also known as Bergamot and this variety bears interesting fluffy rich scarlet flowers that appear in early summer and flower all the way into autumn. This plant is very aromatic and retains its scent when dried. May need dividing every three years to revive the plant.
