  • Gaura
    • lindheimeri   CAG00250
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A tough, hardy, clumping perennial, for full sun. One of the easiest plants to grow. Mounds of narrow, dark green, red spotted leaves produce, throughout the warmer months, tall wands of delicate white butterfly shaped flowers that sway in the slightest breeze.
      After flowering, or any time it's in need of a clean up, cut back to ground level. It will quickly regrow.

      An etremely tough plant tolerating all sorts of physical abuse (eg. being driven over, mowed, poisoned etc.) as well as complete summer dryness.
      Generally self seeds where happy, so cut back before seed fall if you find this undesirable.

  • Geranium
    • sanguineum ‘Album’   CAG00763
      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.

  • Gladiolus
  • Hydrangea
    • macrophylla ‘Thomas Hogg’   CAG01047
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

    • seemannii   CAG00430
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A vigorous climbing species from the forests of Mexico, not to be confused with the slower growing and less heat tolerant H. petiolaris from Japan which is more commonly seen treasured and struggling in our gardens.

      The simple, light green, barely serrated, broadly lanceolate, semi glossed leaves beautifully clothe any available porous surface that the slender dark barked stems can adhere their roots to and then bear in spring a foam of white flower-heads, small and fertile flowers in a cluster surrounded by showier infertile bracts, typical of the genus.
      A moist decaying tree stump is probably it's utopian ideal but the trunk of tree or even a shady south wall can be found to be quite suitable, perhaps even as a ground cover under trees although it may not flower well unless it can climb.

  • Iris
    • albicans   CAG00705

      (Flag Iris)
      Iris albicans
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      An exceptional Iris, performing reliably in all but the shadiest of gardens, and having both beautiful flowers and valuable foliage.
      The sturdy stems of strongly scented, white flag iris flowers are are held above compact clumps of sword-like, grey-green leaves.

      Under favourable conditions it will repeat bloom several times throughout the year.

      As with all Iris feed well and avoid high nitrogen fertilizers.
      Prefers a well drained, alkaline soil and thrives in coastal conditions.

      Used to great effect in large drifts, mass plantings or as edgings, due to the neat foliage. The perfect companion for Iris germanica ‘Nepalensis’, a stunning combination.

      Extensively used by the landscaping industry, it is available bare rooted in any quantity.
      Trade enquiries welcome.

    • japonica ‘Variegata’   CAG00439
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A clumping evergreen perennial. Fans of green and white striped sword-like leaves form dense clumps. In Spring to Summer sprays of delicate pale blue to white, small, crested, iris flowers are produced. Probably the easiest to grow of all the variegated Iris. Almost as tough as the original but does require a little more T.L.C.

    • wattii   CAG01455

      (Bamboo Iris)
      Iris wattii
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      An Evansia or Crested Iris from south western China that suffers less from the burnt foliage over summer that make most other members of the tribe intolerable in Perth.

      Large, flat, gracefully weeping fans of broad, mid green leaves slowly rise on bare, jointed, bamboo-like stems to produce a branching, airy display of dainty, ruffled, almost white, pale blue, six petalled flowers delicately stencilled with golden yellow and spots of darker blues.

      For a sheltered, shady site with moist, well drained soil or superlative in a large glazed pot to enhance its graceful/exotic/oriental appeal.

      Each stem after flowering should be removed to make way for the vigorous new basal fans.

      The largest of the Evansia and easily one of the largest plants in the genus.

  • Leucanthemum
    • x superbum ‘City Of Lights’   CAG02273
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

    • vulgare   CAG00459

      (Ox-eye daisy)
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A charming plant long associated with cottage gardens and found wild in moist meadows throughout Europe. The quintessential daisy, pure white flowers, 6cm across, with a golden centre are held on long slender stems, ideal for picking, above dense clumps of dark green, ruffled, spoon shaped leaves.

      Self seeds in irrigated areas and quite at home in the vegetable garden where it makes a lovely companion plant to attract and feed hover flies, the larva of which feed on aphids, mealy bugs and other soft bodied pests.

      Easily grown in any soil with adequate moisture.
