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 evergreen perennial stands out because of it’s unusual look with its sturdy flower stems that are covered in whorls of pale yellow hooded flowers. After flowering these turn into architectural seedheads that give interest to your border in the bleak winter months and offer shelter for small insects.
This clump-forming perennial with grey-green leaves bears small nodding red flowers from early summer that turn into extraordinary feathery seedheads. The foliage turns red in autumn which add interest later in the season. Geum Triflorum grows well in dry, free-draining soil and is drought-tolerant once established.
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.
Low-growing perennial variety with hairy dark green leaves and delicate blue bell-shaped flowers from early summer to late autumn. Just like annual Borage, the flowers of this perennial veriety are very useful for all pollinators as they refill with nectar within only two mintues after a bee has visited. Ideal for difficult areas in the garden like dry shady spots. The flowers are edible and can be added to salads or frozen in ice cubes to decorate delicious summer drinks.
