Plant description

Lavender-blue Geranium Rozanne lends its name to this versatile RHS Chelsea Flower Show-inspired planting selection. Suitable for sunny border locations or lightly shady spots, the Classic cottage dusky Rozanne combination is a beautifully composed perennial and biennial piece.

Blending the harmonious tones of the violet-blue spires of Salvia ‘Caradonna’ with peachy-apricot tones of Geum 'Prinses Juliana', the elegant, early summer spires of the white Digitalis effortlessly chime with the pale centres of Rozanne.

What's included:

Each combination contains the following plants. They are all supplied in 9cm nursery pots:

  • Digitalis purpurea f. albiflora: From early summer, elegant spires arise from the rosette of foliage, bearing white, tubular flowers that open from the base of the stem upwards. Ideal for adding height to a partially shaded border or woodland garden, these short-lived plants will self-seed freely in the right spot, but the resulting plants may produce purple flowers. Grows to 1.8m.

  • Geum 'Prinses Juliana': A stunning variety of avens with fiery orange flowers from June to September, held on wiry stems above pretty hummocks of puckered foliage. This easy-to-grow geum looks at its best among other 'hot' coloured flowers towards the front of a well-drained border in sun or partial shade. Grows to 60cm.

  • Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna': Above the compact mound of aromatic, grey-green foliage, purple-black stems arise from early summer bearing rich, violet-blue flowers. A vibrant and long-flowering addition to the border, they look spectacular when planted with rich plums ad pinks as well as smokey purples. Grows to 50cm.

  • Geranium Rozanne ('Gerwat') (PBR): Each lavender-blue, saucer-shaped flower grows up to 5cm across, and has a white eye with purple veining. A spreading form, it looks wonderful in naturalised planting schemes, where it provides fast-growing ground cover, and will flower from early summer to mid-autumn. Grows to 60cm.

Planting tips:

Prepare the bed well by digging in lots of composted organic matter before you plant. Where possible, plant in odd numbers, and cluster them together to give impact. Multiples of 3 work really well set out in irregular triangles for an organic feel, while larger numbers can be planted in mercurial clusters or drifts.

In bigger gardens, try to repeat your clusters through the border to create a sense of rhythm and cohesion. Also, when setting your plants out, check their eventual spread and make sure they’ve enough space to fill out. After planting, keep plants well watered for their first year, particularly during warmer weather, and feed them with a good, general purpose fertiliser through the growing season.

Please note:

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
