Leycesteria formosa
|
|
Pheasant Berry, Himalayan honeysuckle, Flowering nutmeg
The stems of this most unusual-looking plant resemble bamboo and are a feature in the winter garden. However, they should be cut back hard in spring to encourage new, bushy growth. The flowers are small, appearing as nodding bunches surrounded by dark-maroon bracts, followed by reddish-brown berries which are edible…

Perennial Toadflax 'Canon Went'

Annual toadflax 'Flamenco'
This versatile little annual, which is native to North Africa, but easy to grow in our climate, should be better known!

Linum grandiflorum var. rubrum

This charming, usually short-lived, perennial produces masses of clear blue flowers an inch in diameter and dark-green foliage on wiry stems. The flowers last only a day, but new buds burst daily too, so during summer the plant is always full of colour. It will self-seed but is not a…

Common Flax, Linseed
The delicate flowers of this dainty plant are sky-blue or white, on fine, grey-blue foliage - a delight to see en masse! Ours appeared from nowhere in my hot bed (flax is grown in the fields nearby, so the seeds were, no doubt, brought in by birds). Despite the fact…

This short-lived perennial is more usually grown as a biennial, and can be permitted to gently self-seed.
