The Ox-Eye Daisy greets me every summer around Misterland, with its bright shimmering white and yellow blooms. Little Miss Hug loves to grow them too.
A striking heirloom (Grandiflora) variety with small flowers that create a big impact! These salmon and cerise pink blooms make a wonderful display growing over an obelisk or trellis, and have a superb fragrance. Sweet Pea 'Miss Willmott' dates back to 1901 but remains as attractive as ever, in the garden or as a cut flower. Height: 180cm (71). Spread: 30cm (12).
A highly ornate border plant with heart-shaped basal foliage from which rise stems of many decorative steel-blue cones surrounded by a collar of prickly, scalloped leaves. During the summer the foliage transforms from mid green to silvery-grey. Wonderful for dried arrangements, especially at Christmas. Plants can be short lived but often self seed before dying. Height: 90-100cm (36-40in).
Beautiful and easy to grow, bearing rich blue flowers which seem to float amongst the finely cut leaves. They provide a charming show of bloom during the summer months. Very useful for bedding and cutting and the seed pods can be dried for winter decoration indoors. Flowers summer. Height 45cm (18in).
Towering stems are clothed from bottom to top in vibrant, bicoloured flowers. From a competition launched in Garden News, this stunning new variety was named by reader Mary Trusler, and chosen from over 5000 entries.

Hypericum moserianum 'Little Misstery' is a much sought-after, new form of Hypericum (St John's Wort) and much prized with flower arrangers for its pinkish-red fruits. Another plant that's really quite difficult to find, we're delighted to be one of the first to be able to bring it to you.
