Aster

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.

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.
