      Geranium x cantabrigiense ‘Cambridge’
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A blue based pink flowered variety of this dependable, southern European Cranesbill. Neat, slowly spreading mounds of semi-gloss, rounded, deeply divided, fresh green, spicily scented leaves bear an abundance of slightly reflexed, saucer shaped blooms for an extended period as the weather warms.

      Almost evergreen in warmer areas otherwise winter dormant. Divides readily for cost effective bulk planting but as with most Cranesbills, and other perennials, a year or twos establishment is generally required before they shine.

      For any reasonably drained soil in a sheltered site. Tolerant of only short periods of dryness.

      A delight in drifts through a woodland with different coloured G. macrorrhizum cultivars for variations on a theme.

    • sanguineum   CAG01069
      Height20cmWidth50cmFlowering SeasonSp / AuWaterMLightSun - Shade
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A slowly spreading, semi-evergreen, rhizomatous perennial. Magenta, saucer shaped, (3cm), flowers are produced for a long period through spring to early summer and again in autumn. The stiff, slender stems clothed in finely dissected dark green leaves will form a dense clump or mix well with other plants, wandering between them.
      Tough and easy.
      Cut back hard if looking tired.

      Permanent, excellent and occasionally self sowing.

      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A slowly spreading, semi-evergreen, rhizomatous perennial. Pure white, saucer shaped, (3cm), flowers are produced for a long period through spring to early summer and again in autumn. The lax stems clothed in finely dissected dark green leaves will form a dense clump or mix well with other plants, wandering between them.
      Tough and easy.
      Cut back hard if looking tired.

      Excellent! The best white flowered Geranium we have seen to date.

      A stunning perennial groundcover now extinct in its native home the Canary Islands. The soft, trailing mat of whorled, grey-green linear leaves smothers in fiery clusters of red and orange beak-like flowers throughout spring.

      A quick growing, nitrogen fixing legume, traditionally regarded as a potted annual. In our ideal climate it also a hardy groundcover for well drained, sunny sites and is at its best in alkaline sand. Simulate its natural habitat by draping it down a limestone retaining wall or cliff, or just mass it for unbridled colour.

      Somewhat deciduous over summer, when over watering usually proves fatal. Frost tender. Easily propagated by cuttings.

    • ciliata ‘Firecracker’   CAG01444
      Height80cmWidth75cmFlowering SeasonAutumnWaterMLightFilt. Shade
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A semi-evergreen perennial which over winters as flat, nearly black rosettes of broad rounded leaves. Slender branching stems of brown-purple wedge shaped leaves rise from the rosettes in mid-Spring and grow throughout the summer to be followed in late February by small five petalled yellow flowers. Slowly spreading to form dense colonies.
      The winter rosettes are the perfect foil for early flowering small bulbs which are then covered by the Summer growth.
      Cut to ground level when the foliage withers.
      Prefers a moist soil and full sun during winter for best foliage colour.

      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A mound forming, densely clumping, woody rootstocked, evergreen perennial, extremely tolerant of dry soils and exposure. Whorls of rich blue-mauve flowers, held along slender stems, are borne profusely throughout the warmer months. Cut to the ground anytime it is looking tatty and you will quickly be rewarded with a new crop of the heart shaped, toothed, grey green leaves.

      A superior plant, of better colour and habit than the generic seed raised N. faassenii commonly encountered and which regrettably seem to have ruined the reputation of Catmints in this country.
      A garden staple.
