Dicentra 'Burning Hearts'
(Item #89629)
“The first time I saw this plant I just knew I had to have one for my shade garden. Not only does it look amazing with its stunning flowers and uniquely coloured foliage but it blooms longer than other Dicentras...so guess what I’m planting more of this year?”

Phlox Paniculata 'Peppermint Twist'
(Item #89643)
“Just look at this one ... do I need to say more? I like the idea of attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to my garden and ‘Peppermint Twist’ does the trick! These scented blooms are not only robust but they bring some much needed colour to the late summer, early fall garden.”

Pennisetum Alopecuroides ‘Hameln’
(Item
#89419)
“I adore grasses and I’m planting more and more of them each season. ‘Hameln’ not only looks attractive but it also can grow pretty much anywhere as long as it has good drainage. A good choice for short season gardeners as its plumes appear early in the season.”

Dig It Gloves
(Item
#DIGH)
“Simply put: these are the BEST gloves I have ever owned! We were recently introduced to Dig It Gloves and during the fall shipping season I literally put them through the ringer and these amazing gloves are still in terrific shape. Made from 100% recycled material!” |

Weeks Rose ‘Hot Cocoa’
(Item #90006)
“Two Hot Cocoa’s are planted in my front flower bed and, as is my gardening style, I’ve promptly left them alone to do as they please. They’ve performed stupendously over the years producing continual blooms throughout the summer and into late, late fall.”
|

|
Corydalis Elata
(Item #89628)
“True blue flowers are hard to find and ones that give off a Gardenia-Coconut scent are even rarer! Perfect for a shady, woodland garden this clump forming perennial is easy to grow and the scented flowers seem to last forever. I like to cut a few and bring them indoors to enjoy!”
|

|
Paeonia ‘Sorbet’
(Item
#89459)
“Deliciously soft colour tones and large, super-fluffy flowers that make you want to lean in close and take a big whiff! If I could make a pillow of these I’d rest my head on them every night! Sorbet is simply charming and guaranteed to become one of your favourites too.”

Adiantum Pedatum
(Item
#89355)
“I can’t say enough about this lovely fern and how much I adore it! Planted right next to my front door, in a small shady patch filled with hostas and cyclamens, my Maiden Hair Fern is the star of the show. It’s airy, lacy and absolutely enchanting! “

Lilium Speciosum ‘Uchida’
(Item #38077)
“Wow! This late summer bloomer revealed fully recurved petals of the most lovely dark pink and white and bloomed when the season was long over for all my other lilies. Breathtaking and one late one actually bloomed in October causing quite a commotion.”
|
|
|
Hosta ‘Pardigm’
(Item #89503)
“This Hosta with its shades of green and yellow looks like it’s been painted! The brush strokes of colour are a revelation in the cool darkened areas of my garden. One is not enough and planted on either side of Hemerocallis ‘Happy Returns’ it will stop traffic.”
|
|
|
Tricyrtis Hirta
(Item
#89297)
“These little orchid-like flowers may be small but they are simply quite stunning! They bloom alongside lovely green stems and leaves and reveal themselves slowly later in the summer when colour is scarce. They last for ages and are definitely conversation pieces.”

Viola Cornuta‘Rebecca’
(Item
#89597)
“This beauty came as quite a surprise to me last year. In mere weeks the greenery was shooting upwards and before I knew it there was a lush plant with plenty of the sweetest, marbled white and purple, pansy flowers! The blooms were long lasting and the greenery stayed lovely into the fall.”
