Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell'
|
|
|
Daylily 'Sammy Russell'
As its common name suggests, the large, trumpet-shaped blooms of this stunning plant last only a day, but during the flowering season they appear in abundance. I believe that this variety, which is deepest red with a yellow throat, is as named, but it was (one of the few decent… |

Hesperantha (syn. Schizostylis) coccinea 'Major' AGM
|
|
|
Crimson flag lily 'Major', River lily
This lovely plant flowers for many months - even through the first frosts! Rich red, six-petalled, bowl-shaped blooms appear on straight stems above light-green, sword-shaped foliage from summer onwards. Although they do well in my relatively light soil, Hesperantha are probably happiest in moist, heavy soil as long as it… |

Hesperis matronalis

Sweet rocket, Dame's violet
This sweet-scented, short-lived perennial attracts bees and other pollinating insects and is therefore perfect for naturalising in a wildlife-friendly garden. The loose heads of small flowers range in colour from almost white, through pale lilac to mauve. A perfect plant for the informal cottage garden. Also a good cut flower. |

Hibiscus trionum
|
|
|
Flower-of-an-Hour, Venice Mallow, Bladder hibiscus, Bladder ketmia
This delightful plant, which is usually treated as an annual in the UK, produces creamy flowers with dark burgundy centres on stems clothed with dark green, lobed leaves. Each flower only lasts a day but in the right conditions it will bloom profusely, followed by very attractive seed pods, throughout… |

Hieracium maculatum Syn spilophaeum 'Leopard' | |
|
Spotted hawkweed
An unusual and decorative addition to the front of the border, this variegated form of hawkweed (usually considered a weed!) produces a low rosette of intricately blotched, dark red-brown and blue-green leaves, above which nod small, yellow daisy-like flowers on tall, wiry stems. It is for the foliage that this… |

Hosta syn. funkia x hybrida | |
|
Hosta, Plantain lily
The seeds offered were mostly from the variety illustrated, but from a couple of others too. In any case, they are very unlikely to come true, but it could be fun to see that they produce and you may even discover some unique variations of this attractive shade-loving plant! |

Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' | |
|
Hydrangea 'Annabelle', Smooth hydrangea, Wild hydrangea, Sevenbark
I've never known anyone unfamiliar with this delightful plant not to request it when they see it in bloom in the garden! The domed flower heads are composed of masses of small blooms, lime green at first, turning creamy-white (and almost spherical) when in full bloom and a lovely parchment… |

Hylotelephium Syn. Sedum spectabile (Brilliant Group) 'Autumn Joy'
|
|
|
Ice Plant, Brilliant stonecrop, Butterfly stonecrop, Rabbit's cabbage, Showy stonecrop 'Autumn Joy'
This drought-tolerat plant produces dense heads of deep-pink flowers in late-summer/early autumn, above sturdy stems clothed in grey-green, fleshy leaves. The weight of the flower heads tends to cause the stems to bend and sprawl, so some support is recommended earlier in the season to prevent this. Attractive to pollinating… |

Hylotelephium Syn. Sedum telephium subsp. ruprechtii 'Hab Grey'
|
|
|
Ruprecht's orpine, Ice Plant 'Hab Grey'
This unusual and most attractive sedum ariety forms clumps of grey-green, fleshy leaves and the flowers are a mixture of cream and pink. It is much loved by bees and other beneficial insects. NOTE: Depending on season, plants, when available, may be trimmed back and/or barerooted for shipping. |

Hyoscyamus niger

|
Black Henbane, Stinking Nightshade
Black henbane produces soft, downy leaves and strange, but beautiful, pale creamy-yellow flowers intricately veined in purple. The seed pods are also rather attractive; they have a little round lid which falls off when the pods are ripe, releasing the seeds. All parts of the plant are toxic. The whole plant… |

Inula Hookeri
|
|
|
Hooker's inula, Hooker's fleabane
This beautiful plant deserves to be better known. The soft, downy stems bear masses of 2 inch diameter bright-yellow daisy-like flowers from late summer to autumn, which go on to develop equally attractive, cream-coloured, fluffy seed heads. The flowers are much loved by butterflies and bees, and the seeds by… |

|
Striped Morning Glory 'Venice Pink'
An abundance of the familiar Morning Glory flowers, but with bold stripes in deep pink and white, although it is possible that not all seeds will come true. Some of the seeds may be cream or light tan in colour; this is perfectly normal and will not result in different… |

Morning glory 'Grandpa Otts'
An abundance of the familiar Morning Glory flowers, but in an intense deep-violet colour that will hit you between the eyes! Although it is possible that not all seeds will come true, I would expect most to do so. Attracts butterflies and other pollinating insects. |
