  • Oenothera
    • missouriensis   CAG01921

      (Ozark sundrop)
      Height25cmWidth50cmFlowering SeasonSp - SuWaterL - MLightFull Sun
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      Low clumps of silvery-green, lance shaped leaves throw out spreading, leafy stems bearing an endless profusion of large, four petalled, brilliant yellow, saucer shaped blooms. An arresting plant that is easy and quick growing in any reasonably well drained, very sunny location.

      Winter dormant and appreciative of occasional summer water.
      Not to be confused with its grossly inferior, roadside brethren.

    • perennis   CAG00504

      (Little evening primrose)
      Height20cmWidth15cmFlowering SeasonSpringWaterMLightSun
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A diminutive species widespread throughout eastern North America and forming a tight clump of deep green, lance shaped leaves in neat rosettes which elongate in spring to branching scapes bearing many, small, four petalled, citric yellow flowers.
      Stuff it in cracks or plant it in a trough and pretend it's an alpine. Adorable.

      Easily grown in any well drained sunny soil though it is not as drought tolerant as some.

      Primula vulgaris
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      The quintessential spring wildflower of much of Europe and a far cry from its ribald descendents the Polyanthus oft used as potted colour.

      The mound of soft and soft green, crinkled, inversely lance shaped leaves is crowded with yellow centred, upward facing, bright primrose, five petalled, scolloped flowers for several weeks from mid winter. Charming and a joy to see when flowers are so scarce.

      Easily grown if left alone in a cool position with moist well drained soil, resting here by late summer only to spring into vigorous growth with the cool season and then enjoying bright shade or morning sun. Sensitive to fertilizers and overly rich soil.

      Soundly perennial, these are divisions of my best form that I have been transplanting from garden to garden for over twenty years.

  • Ranunculus
    • cortusifolius   CAG01433

      (Canary buttercup)
      Height1mWidth60cmFlowering SeasonSpringWaterLLightFilt.Shade
      Ranunculus cortusifolius
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A Buttercup on steroids from the laurel forest of the Canary Islands. Huge, coarsely haired, umbrella-like leaves emerge from a spidery tuberous rootstock, on stout fleshy stems. After a winter of exuberant growth a sturdy, much branched stem of gloss enamel, canary yellow, green centred, buttercup flowers is thrust skyward. The entire plant slowly shrivels with increasing summer temperatures, only to return the following winter bigger and badder than ever.

      For winter moist, shady sites, preferably dryish over summer and when happy self seeding with desirable abandon. Also growable as a show winning potted specimen.

      Santolina chamaecyparissus
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A garden staple long valued for its neat buns of feathered, silvery grey, coralline foliage, upright, button-like, yellow flowers and hardiness. Its scale and form goes well with just about anything but especially other mediterranean type foliage and is useful to give a bit of structure to smaller gardens or gardens full of small but formless desirables. Excellent too for parterre or formal edging.

      From the Mediterranean and easily grown in any well drained sunny soil, with leanness and exposure favouring the densest and silveriest growth.

      Trim off spent flowers annually and cut back hard as needed while actively growing.

  • Scutellaria
    • oreophila   CAG02082
      Height10cmWidth30cmFlowering SeasonSpringWaterM - LLightSun
      Scutellaria oreophila
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A lovely little winter deciduous shrublet looking not unlike a Catmint, forming a low mat of soft, sage green leaves. The clusters of bright primrose, tubular, lipped flowers though are far showier than anything a Nepeta could muster.

      For well drained soil and plenty of sun where it enjoy dry conditions but not too much drought.

      An excellent alternate season companion for small winter bulbs like Oxalis massoniana.
