Unique looking spiky cones of cream-coloured flowers appear in early spring. Suitable for large pots and garden borders or gravel gardens.
This herbaceous perennial grows up to 90cm tall and has very delicate blue cornflower-like flowers that grow continuously from early to late summer. The flowers grow on a long thin stem with neat grass-like leaves. For a better display, we recommend planting a minimum of three plants close together to make up for the sparse foliage.
This Aster variety is a strong perennial for your garden with large soft lilac daisy-like flowers with a bright yellow center. Flowers emerge in early summer right until late autumn and are longlasting as a cut flower.
This herbaceous perennial grows up to 1.2m tall and bears red daisy-like flowers that turn copper over timeand sit on dark purple foliage. Very good long-lasting cut flower.
Oversized lavender-coloured feathery flowers with a sweet scent that grow tall over grey-green foliage. The plant flowers all throughout summer and early autumn. The flowers are great for cutting or drying. We don’t recommend feeding these flowers, because this would encourge leaf growth instead of flowers.
Cobalt blue flowers that resemble butterflies emerge in summer and last all the way into autumn. The plants can cope with light frosts but might need extra protection during extreme cold temperatures. Cut back in late summer to encourage a second flush in autumn and then trim the following year in spring to strenghten new growth.
