All the plants we list in our catalogue have proven their worth
as good garden plants, or are part of one of our collections such
as Auricula. We also like our plants to have a little “je ne sais
quoi” whether that be lovely scent, a flash of subtle colour, or
just looking right in the place or association where they grow.
Our daughter Cat and her partner Brad are currently working
as wildlife guides on Pebble Island in the Falkland Islands,
and so the outstanding wildlife, flora and landscape are high in
our consciousness.
The front cover shows a Rockhopper, a Calceolaria (Lady’s
Slipper) and an Islander plane, three wonderful aspects of life
in the Islands.

GRASSES AND SEDGES
Grasses can make inspirational planting. They bring the air of the wild into a
garden. Here are a few of my best ideas.
● Use in a mixed border, they are a great change of texture and a cooling
colour. E.g. Miscanthus, Pennisetum, Millium
● Grasses look great in “designed plantings “among rocks and large gravel.
E.g. Stipa, Miscanthus, Cortaderia, Carex
● Some grasses look fantastic as potted specimens e.g. Stipa arundinacea,
Hakenochloe, Carex
● Try some annual grasses with poppies. Fabulous. e.g. Hordeum jubatum
ANONMANTHELE (Used to be Stipa)
