Sisyrinchium 'Devon Skies'
A great little garden plant and a member of the iris family forming a compact clump of sword-like rich green foliage and covering itself with the neatest little sky blue Iris like flowers from late spring and during the summer. A neat charming addition for the summer border, along an entrance path or in pots on or around the patio.
A native of eastern Australia and built to handle the heat and dry spells. Flowers, around 10mm, bell-shaped and in nodding bunches, are present for most of the year and flush in spring. A dwarf shrub that’s a picture en masse, in borders and around the patio. Dainty and pretty.
Arguably the tidiest conifer we've seen, Smaragd forms a lush green cone that's ideal for patio pots, driveway avenues and specimen trees. An upright shape that's a great way of introducing drama into a small garden, especially at an entranceway or on a bank if the garden is sloping.
One of nature's grand plants. Easily grown to a rounded bush with velvet green leaves and large luxuriant royal-purple flowers from summer into autumn and on into spring in mild districts. An native of South America, this is a shrub to use for a tropical look in not-so-tropical areas!
A wonderful improvement on the species. This one's got very dark green and luxuriant leaves, showy deep red flower buds that open to rich creamy white flowers over a long period during winter and spring. Then, to top it off, flowers are followed by very dark-blue, almost black, berries.
