Aster

Cone-shaped feathery red-purple flowers sit on green clover-like leaves. Like all clover variety this one is great for attracting many different pollinators, perfect for a wildlife-friendly garden. Ideal for underplanting shrubs or roses. Cutting back spent blooms may encourage a second flush.

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.

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.
