Our Full Range of Miscanthus grasses are ready now !
Our Full range of Miscanthus grasses are ready now, with some new additions extending the variety and colours of these great grasses,
The Miscanthus group of grasses should, in our opinion be known as the King of grasses. A very adaptable & diverse range of cultivars, all of which are reliable. Having a wide range of heights & structure plus finger like flower heads with a subtle range of colours which are produced very late in the autumn, and last well into the winter. They all require full sun to part shade in any soil and will grow in the same spot for many years quietly increasing from a central clump, but not running or becoming invasive. Suitable for mass plantings, use as a single specimen, or even in large containers.
Stipa Tenuissima 'Ponytails'
Officially now known as Nassella tenuissima but mainly known as the Mexican feather grass or Ponytails.
A compact evergreen grass forming upright clumps of airy silver-green foliage topped with fluffy, feathery beige flower heads which constantly sway with the slightest breeze & by late summer the whole plant turns a golden buff colour.
A really useful garden plant as it unifys many a planting scheme, pairing well with such a wide range of plants. A great grass in a gravel garden, a naturalistic or prairie border, coastal gardens or in a contemporary setting, it also lends itself well to containers or pots.
This grass requires full sun and well drained soil, its very low maintenance & drought tolerant, so great for a hot dry site in the garden.
Ht 60cm x Sp 50cm
Supplied in 9cm pots ready to plant out
Calamagrostis Brachytria
'Feather Reed Grass' A lovely ornamental grass with stunning feathery plumes held above light green foliage from June onwards, delicately moving in the slightest breeze, a great accent plant, or massed planted in large groups .
Prefers full sun and a well drained but moist soil to be at their very best, but will also grow well at a woodland edge in part shade with a damp soil. Ht 1m x Sp 60cm
supplied in 9cm pots ready to plant out at £6.95 each or three for £18
Helenium 'Sahins early Flowerer'
This variety Helenium 'Sahins early flowerer' produces masses of yellow, gold, orange, red to ochre toned flowers from quite early summer & later into the autumn months.
Known as the 'Sneezewort' These plants have become tremendously popular in recent years thanks to the trend of 'Prairie Style' planting schemes.
Plant Heleniums in well drained soil in full sun & they will reward you with months of flowers. Ht 90cm x Sp 60cm

Cornus sanguinea 'Annys Winter Orange'
New Plants !
Known as the 'European Dogwood' a stunning deciduous shrub best known for its winter effect once all its leaves have dropped. This cornus has oval dark green leaves and small creamy white flowers in May.
But the really stunningly bright, orange red flushed stems are its main attribute giving a cheer to the winter months, planted alongside other yellow, red, or purple stemmed dogwoods and other winter interest plants you can have colour even in the darkest months. Prefers full sun in any soil even waterlogged.

Very upright in habit so can be grown at the very back of a border, or moved forward to provide an accent point in a more random naturalistic planting. Perfect for creating late-summer colour in ornamental borders working well in prairie -style schemes with ornamental grasses. Stout enough not to require staking must be grown in full sun in well drained soil and will increase steadily.
Flowers from July to October, stands well through the winter very effective covered in Autumn dew & Winter frost !
