Plant description

Polar opposites on the colour wheel, these two colours actually make perfect partners, helping to both define and magnify the effect of one another. Plant these where there is reliable moisture in the soil as they dislike getting too dry.

What's included:

In this collection you will receive three of each of the following plants. They are all supplied in 9cm nursery pots.

  • Iris 'Caesar's Brother': Intense violet flowers with speckled and striped markings on the throats appear in June and July among bright green, strappy leaves. Like all Siberian flag irises, this is a clump-forming plant that needs space to spread out and prefers a moist, neutral to slightly acid soil in sun or partial shade. It looks best planted in bold drifts beside water and allowed to naturalise - and it's particularly useful on difficult banks where it will form large clumps over time, helping to prevent soil erosion. It can also be planted in a pot as marginal plant for a pond. Grows to 1m.

  • Briza media: A mat-forming evergreen grass with purplish-tinted, green leaves. In summer locket-shaped, green-purple flowers, which fade to buff, hang from wiry branches. Lovely in wildflower meadows, their flowers are excellent for drying. Grows to 90cm.

  • Trollius x cultorum 'Alabaster': Pale primrose-yellow, buttercup-like flowers are borne in mid- to late spring above deeply divided mid-green leaves. Less vigorous than most cultivars, it will thrive in full sun or partial shade if the roots do not dry out. Perfect for a moist border or the margins of a pond or stream. Grows to 60cm.

    • Please note:

    The plants in this collection will die right back in autumn, then fresh new growth will appear again in spring.
