Galega officinalis / Goat’s Rue

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.

The flat flower heads of Achilleas are great for insects to land on and attract many pollinators, especially hoverflies. This variety is best grown in full sun and well-draining soil and looks great in the middle of a garden border. Division every three to five years will rejuvinate the plant.

Tall blue flower spikes sit on a bed of yellow-green scented foliage. The flower spikes can reach up to 90cm and attract pollinators with their sweet fragrance. Flowers appear in mid-summer which makes thnis plant perfect for adding colour to your garden for later in the season. Agastache can be planted in containers for the first season and then be planted into your garden border for the following seasons.
