      Tagetes lemmonii
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      An aromatic, evergreen, drought hardy, quick growing, Mexican shrub. The stiff woody branches are clothed in dark green leaves, pinnately divided into seven toothed leaflets, that smell remarkably like ripe Passionfruit. Starting in autumn, and carrying on through to spring, branched heads, of golden yellow, daisy-like flowers are freely produced.
      An extremely hardy and heat tolerant shrub for any sunny, well drained position. Invaluable for it's winter flowering period and sunny disposition.
      Should self seed.
      Excellent planted by paths etc., where you brush it as you walk past, releasing the Passionfruit scent that wafts for a considerable distance.

      Trim back after flowering or whenever necessary. Cut back hard only to where new growth can be seen.

      Teucrium marum
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A small, very silver, pungently aromatic sub-shrub from the western Mediterranean, happiest in exposed dry soil and perfect for edging or parterre. Many short wands of soft magenta, two lipped flowers lend the stiffly twigged mounds, clothed in tiny, silver, rhomboidal leaves, a dreamy quality during late spring.

      Easily grown in any well drained sunny site. Summer irrigation unnecessary.
      A quick annual tidy up after flowering, to remove the spent stems, keeps it looking attractive over summer. Older plants can be cut back to the point of new basal growth in late winter to rejuvenate them.

      As its common name infers it is often adored by feline denizens of the garden, boon or bane depending on you point of view, and their wallowing and mauling can leave it a little worse for wear but seldom proves fatal.

      Verbascum creticum
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      An unusual, annual Verbascum, from the island of Crete, as the specific epithet implies. The plant initially consists of a quick growing rosette, upto 40cm across, of somewhat glaucous, wavy margined, highly textured, arrow shape leaves. At any time, from spring through to autumn, tall spires, bearing five petalled flowers, the largest we have seen on any Verbascum, are produced. Each flower is neatly divided in half, the top being custard yellow, the bottom half paler cream, the upper petals in addition, carry a pair of large burgundy eyes, that appear to be stenciled on.
      Should self seed in well drained soil.
      Very tough.
