An evergreen, clumping, perennial member of the Rose family. The five divided leaves are carried on slender, red tinged stems. Each leaflet is deeply veined with a serrated margin and the entire plant is softly haired and appears very much like an alpine strawberry. Throughout the warmer months, small, five petalled, rich pink, saucer shaped flowers, with a red centre, are borne singly, just above the foliage.
A surprisingly tough plant for any well drained, lightly shaded position.
Cut back whenever tatty for a fresh flush of growth.
A Chinese perennial with flat rosettes of jagged, dark green, red backed, velvety leaves form a dense carpet from which arises slender stems, elegantly bearing large, very showy, nodding, trumpet shaped, yellow throated, pale pink flowers. Very romantic as the name suggests.
Easily grown in moist, well drained, preferably alkaline soil in a sheltered site and very vigorous when happy.
Winter dormant.
A low growing perennial sub-shrub from the mountains of Morocco with finely divided, dark green, glossy foliage that form a low dense mound. During winter and spring bright, baby pink, daisy flowers with burgundy centres are produced en masse.
A valuable plant for its flowering season.
Dead head to promote flowers and cut back to strong basal growth annually.
Easily grown in well drained soil with some summer irrigation. Deep rooted so only temporary in pots.
The best prostrate Rosemary I've ever grown. White stems and fine needle like leaves that reveal their white underbelly lend a silvery appearance to a dense and trailing mound forming shrub with flowers of good clear blue-lavender.
If it has a fault it is that it never grows as quickly as you would like it to.
Tough and hardy in any reasonably drained soil as per other Rosemary but slow growth and finer form offers potential for container vignettes.
An evergreen, shrubby perennial from Mexico. Many flowered, long, slender, arching wands of small, bright magenta pink, tubular, lipped flowers are held over glossy, green, oval shaped leaves.
Extremely floriferous and with good ornamental foliage, this is magnificent plant for any protected position with some shade, where it will lend a lush tropical look.
It's somewhat lax habit makes it ideal for the foot of larger plants or the top of retaining walls.
Not far removed from wild stock found at high altitude in Texas and Mexico. Forming a small shrub densely clothed in 1cm bright green elliptic leaves and bearing clusters of bright cerise pink flowers throughout the warmer months with minimal irrigation and happily resting through dry periods.
The hardiest S. greggii I have trialled to date, thriving wherever I have planted it, while all others succumbing to winter wet or constantly high summer temperatures.
For any reasonably drained sunny site.
Cut back old tired branches when vigorous new basal growth appears.
A clump forming, deciduous shrub. A fantastic foliage plant, the lance shaped leaves start a coppery pink, then turn bright yellow and gradually fade to green. In Summer bunches of small, deep pink flowers are produced. Ideal for borders or anywhere a hilight of colour is needed. Easily grown in any well drained soil. Cut back as necessary.
