Plant description

Cottage garden favourites (and perfect partners), these plants will help liven up a lightly shaded spot in summer. The astrantias will make pretty additions to the vase so plant them in big drifts where you won't notice when you cut some for the house.

What's included:

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

Astrantia 'Roma' (PBR): Delicate, papery, soft pink flowers which are held on wiry stems above attractive deeply lobed, mid-green leaves. This delightful masterwort is a vigorous variety with a much longer flowering period than most pink or red varieties. It looks particularly fetching planted with grasses and is garden designer, Piet Oudolf's favourite masterwort. Grows to 60cm.
Digitalis x mertonensis: Towering spikes of large, dusky, carmine-pink tubular flowers appear in May and June above conspicuously veined, dark green leaves. This foxglove is a real showstopper and looks wonderful planted in bold drifts towards the back of the border in partial shade. Although it will grow in the sun, the soil needs to remain reliably moist over summer. Grows to 90cm.

Planting tips:

Prepare the bed well by digging in lots of composted organic matter before you plant. For best results it is essential that the plants are kept well watered for the first year, particularly during warmer weather.

Please note:

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