Collection comprises:
- Cosmos bipinnatus 'Lemonade™' - Fabulous pale yellow cosmos with striking central white eye. Our plant breeding team took a very bright yellow, but late-flowering Japanese cosmos variety and crossed it with earlier-flowering cosmos with better, shorter habits. The resulting delicate, subtle yellow blossoms of Cosmos 'Lemonade' are produced en masse throughout the summer on short, branching cosmos plants. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 40cm (16").
- Cosmos 'Fondant Fancy' - A little bit of what you fancy does you good – and with Cosmos 'Fondant Fancy’ it’s impossible not to over-indulge! Endless flurries of these saucer-shaped blooms float over bushy mounds of feathery foliage for months. The petals are completely fused, forming a neat pink cup with a darker pink halo encircling the golden anthers. Beneficial pollinators find the open flowers easy to locate and land upon, leaving the blooms buzzing with bees and butterflies. Height: 120cm (47in). Spread: 60cm (24in).
- Clarkia 'Pastel Posies Mixed' - An unsung garden hero that deserves wider acclaim! Possibly one of the easiest hardy annuals to sow and grow. If you are new to sowing and growing and need an early confidence booster, this is the one for you! Godetia seeds can be sown direct where you want them to grow. Fill whole beds and borders with this pink shades mix, or simply drop a few seeds in gaps between other plants and nature will do the rest for you! Height: 50cm (20"). Spread: 30cm (12").
- Honey Bee Flower Mixed - A blend of 19 species of nectar and pollen rich annual and perennial flowers, which are proven favourites of honey bees in our gardens. Our special selection provides forage over a long season making it an invaluable food source for bees. This colourful flower mix is perfect for those gardeners with their own honeybee hives, or those wishing to encourage bees into their gardens. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 30cm (12")
- Cosmos bipinnatus 'Purity' - Ferny foliage and graceful pure white flowers up to 4in or more in diameter make this an effective and popular, easy annual. Flowers summer to autumn. Height 3 to 4 feet.
- Sunflower 'Russian Giant' - A giant among annuals. Give them plenty of room and you will be rewarded with plants up to 3m (10ft) tall with huge yellow flowers often 30cm(12in) in diameter. Useful to grow against an unsightly shed or fence. Birds love the seeds so grow a few plants close to the house and watch them feed in the autumn. Flowers summer. Height 8-10ft.
- Nasturtium 'Whirlybird Mixed' - Low mounds covered with a mass of bloom. The semi-double flowers are carried well above the foliage and face upwards so all are visible. Mixture of cherry, rose, gold, mahogany, orange, scarlet, tangerine and cream. Ideal for bedding, borders, tubs, containers etc. Flowers can be cut for unusual floral decorations.
- Nigella damascena 'Miss Jekyll' - 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).
- Alyssum saxatile 'Golden Queen' - This low-growing evergreen perennial forms carpets of silvery-grey foliage that contrast boldly with clusters of dazzling, tiny yellow flowers in the spring. Alyssum Saxatile ‘Golden Queen’ provides low-maintenance ground cover for border edges, banks, creeping over rockeries or tucked into wall crevices. It also makes an attractive display spilling over the edges of containers. This vigorous perennial copes well in poor soil and coastal areas. Height: 30cm (12in). Spread: 45cm (18in).
- Agrostemma githago 'Ocean Pearl' - Bred by Thompson & Morgan, this tall, erect Agrostemma bears unusual, large, pure white flowers with distinctive black speckled markings.
