View our gallery of new perennial introductions below:
Thalictrum 'Little Pinkie'
Black Stockings emphasises its heigh with dark, almost ebony stems that compliment perfectly the ferny foliage and airy, flat topped clusters of delicate, lavender flowers that appear in late spring or early summer.
Senecio 'Angel Wings'
Evergreen, rounded, large silver leaves with a soft velvety feel. Grown as a foliage plant.
Salvia 'Feathers Flamingo'
Feathers Flamingo' has deeply incised foliage that gives the plant an airy and elegant look. 'Flamingo' has soft pink flowers from June to August with a rebloom in autumn.
Salvia 'Caradonna Pink'
This stunning pink version of 'Cardonna' produces spikes of pink flowers that contrast dramatically with its black-purple stems.
Nepeta 'Neptune'
This decidous Nepeta has large blue flowers and compact habit. Very free flowering.
Heucherella 'Hopscotch'
Evergreen leaves emerge red with dark red centres early in spring, before lightening to bronze red. Each leaf is lobed, giving it a unique lacy texture in the garden. In the heat of summer, the leaves mellow to deep green. In late spring, cream, bottlebrush shaped flowers appear above the foliage. ‘Hopscotch’ is a H. villosa hybrid which means it has greater vigour than Heucherella without such parentage.
Heuchera 'Frilly'
Geranium 'Dark Eyes'
Vivid violet-magenta-red flowers are produced over dark leaves of chocolate-brown. A striking new selection from Elizabeth MacGregor.
Geranium 'Azure Skies'
The finely-cut, lacy foliage forms an attractive loose perennial clump. Throughout summer this well-branched plant sends up stems of fully-double, sky-blue flowers.
Eryngium 'Lapis Blue'
Large steely-blue prickly flowers, which age to dark blue in summer over silvery grey foliage. Strong stems.
Echinacea 'Pretty Parasols'
Strong stems topped with a parasol shaped flowers. Flowers appear at slightly different heights giving a 'prairie' look to the garden.
Astrantia 'Capri'
Clusters of bright-pink flowers are produced on wiry stems. The flowers are sterile and so continue flowering over a long period from late spring into summer.
Anemone 'Frilly Knickers'
This semi-double selection from 'Dreaming Swan' was made by Rosy Hardy of Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants. The pure white petals are suffused with pale lilac and finely frilled, surrounding a boss of deep golden yellow stamens.Flowers from July to late summer. 60cm x 45cm. 'Frilly Knickers' won the Visitors vote at the 2020 HTA Virtual New Plant Awards with over 30% of the votes.
Allium 'Lavender Bubbles'
Hybrid from sensecens. This is a perennial (not a bulb) variety. Foliage does not die back as it flowers. Very free flowering from June - September. Attracts bees.
Achillea 'Vintage Violet'
A compact selection that has eye-catching plum-violet flowers. It flowers over a longer period than many Achillea.
