Plant description

Here is living proof that a shady spot in the garden need not be boring. The plants it contains all take partial shade in their stride and together will provide lots of summer colour. Supplied in 9cm pots.

What's included:

In this collection you will receive one of each of the following plants. They are all supplied in 9cm nursery pots:

  • Geranium 'Patricia': Low growing mounds of dark green leaves topped with magenta flowers. This geranium is a sterile hybrid of Geranium psilostemon and has an exceptionally long flowering period. In autumn the deeply cut, dark green leaves turn fabulous shades of red. An excellent plant for the middle of a border. Grows to 60cm

  • Digitalis grandiflora: Acting as a magnet to bees, the yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers that appear on the upright flowerspikes from early summer add vertical movement to the planting scheme. Ideally suited to the woodland edge, they also make wonderful additions to the herbaceous border. Grows to 1m.

  • Geranium 'Orion': A bigger geranium, which is covered with clear violet-blue flowers, with red veining and a white centre, throughout the summer. Its spreading habit makes it ideal for quick growing, summer groundcover. Grows to 80cm.
