Astrantia major 'Roma' is a hardy perennial with a difference: it thrives in damp, shady areas, meaning you can reserve all the space in your sunniest borders for fussier species while still incorporating this unusual Masterwort into your summer display. The plant's palmate foliage is a striking bright green colour, which complements its pink flowers perfectly. These blooms make it easy to tell why this variety is nicknamed Hattie's Pincushion, for their heads, which emerge in the summer, are an unusual, round, pincushion-esque shape. The wiry stems can be easily cut to make interesting additions to indoor displays if you decide that Astrantia major 'Roma' is too special to confine to your woodland garden! Height: 75cm (2'6). Spread: 45cm (1'6).
This Dogwood is the perfect winter colour shrub for your garden, when it bears its vivid red bare stems. An easy to maintain shrub, which will easily fill a gap in the border.

For a long-flowering, semi-evergreen, highly fragrant shrub, you can't go wrong with Daphne 'Pink Fragrance'. Beautiful clusters of pink flowers bloom over an exceptionally long period from March right through to October. This lovely daphne variety will keep some foliage all year round, dropping only some of its leaves.
Sometimes referred to as Golden Lily of the Valley this hardy plant is more exotic-looking than our native white species. As flower stems develop, reaching up to 1 metre high in summer, tendrils may be produced to hold them upright. Preferring cool conditions, the hanging golden lanterns will brighten up shady corners where others fail to thrive.
