A favourite in the cottage garden, this tall and slender plant is a magnificent sight in late summer when each stem is clothed in ruffled bright pink pompom blooms. Hollyhock rosea 'Pleniflora' looks spectacular grown in large groups. It also grows well at the back of the border where it provides a dramatic backdrop to other, smaller flowering plants. Althaea rosea grows best in a sunny site. Height: 180cm (71). Spread: 60cm (24).
Tall and spectacular, with arching leaves and bronze feathery panicles in summer, this ornamental grass makes a fine feature in the border.

Perennial Feather Reed Grass is quick to emerge each spring and is fast-growing and low maintenance. Height: 1.8m (5.9') Spread: 50cm (19).

As its name suggests, Cornflower 'Dwarf Blue Midget' is a compact, neat variety, blooming earlier and lower down the stems than other varieties.
