Try them amongst grasses or grouped in patio planters. Collection comprises 'Blackbird' (purple), aryreum (white) and erectum (pink). Ht.1m. All supplied in 9cm pots.
An outstanding low, mound-forming perennial, producing ferny blue-green foliage and clusters of vibrant yellow, tubular flowers on upright spikes. Corydalis 'Canary Feathers' is easy to grow and produces spectacular displays in light woodland, planted under shrubs and trees, or in containers placed in dappled shade, where it will reward you with a long flowering period from late spring onwards. Choose a rich, moisture retentive soil which is free-draining but does not completely dry out over summer. Height: 30cm (12). Spread: 60cm (24).
Basil 'Crimson King' is so named for its unusual colour. The half-hardy annual's leaves are unremarkable in shape, for they are traditionally cupped in appearance, but notable for their purple tone. This vibrant alternative to green basil is thus an excellent, ornamental herb while still performing well in terms of function and flavour. Ocimum basilicum grows vigorously, whether sown in a vegetable bed or on a windowsill, making it a practical way to spruce up salads, garnishes and other culinary creations even with limited garden space.
A very quick and easy-to-grow variety, with a mild flavour and crunchy, sweet and succulent roots. An ideal crop for summer salad dishes adding colour and flavour. Height: 15cm (6).
