Description for Linaria purpurea 'Cannon J Went' not available
Popular and robust, fully hardy, garden perennial, that features large jagged dark green foliage and magnificent tall racemes of white flowers with mauve bracts, flowering from May to August. It's a fantastic addition to a large perennial border and is also suited to areas of dapple shade. Ht. 1.5m. Supplied as plug plants or in 9cm pots.
The large spreading nature of this deciduous shrub provides impact and structure to a garden, used predominantly as a specimen plant. Weigela ?Candida? has tall arching stems which give it a real presence and should be given plenty of space to allow the branches to arch to the ground, which in May through to June are covered with elegant, tubular white flowers. The nectar rich blooms make this an excellent choice for wildlife gardens, attracting a vast array of pollinating insects. Height and spread: 2.5m (8?).
An attractive grass variety with year-round interest, Miscanthus ?Gracilimus' is well worth serious consideration. It's a clump forming perennial which is easy to grow and after a long hot summer it really comes into its own with tall flower spikes topped with feathery textured copper coloured plumes which, along with the foliage arch over gracefully. The plumes will remain during the winter so that you can enjoy them left in situ or cut them for winter displays indoors. Height: 130cm (51). Spread: 120cm (47).
A really useful plant to fill a gap in your border. It has plumes of feathery flowers and a superb orange coloured stems in autumn.
If you are looking for something different to plant in your garden, Calycanthus x raulstonii 'Hartlage Wine' is a rare and attractive, multi-stemmed shrub with upright to arching branches, that has lush green, oval leaves and clematis-like flowers.
