Plant description

Named after the stunning Geranium 'Sabani Blue', the Classic cottage Sabani collection, thrills with its carefully selected perennial choices. Pale azure and deeper ultramarine tones jostle with the perfect pink and purple purple accents of 'Amethyst' and the delicate lemon syllabub tones of the Digitalis coupled with the zinging yellow of Alchemilla mollis.

What's included:

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

Digitalis purpurea f. albiflora: This elegant foxglove produces stately spires of of white, tubular flowers in June and July held above rosettes of large, hairy, dark green leaves. Perfect for lighting up a shady border or for dotting through a mixed border among evergreen shrubs. Although it is a short-lived plant, given favourable conditions it will self-seed freely. Grows to 1.8m.
Alchemilla mollis: Attractively scalloped, bright green leaves, which catch water droplets (that look like quicksilver), and from June to September, it produces a frothy haze of tiny, chartreuse yellow flowers. Grows to 50cm.
Salvia nemorosa 'Amethyst': Providing colour for several months from midsummer, the slender upright spires of this sage are clothed in purple-pink buds, which open from the base upwards to lilac-purple, hooded flowers. Plant it towards the front of a sunny, well-drained border, or create drifts through a prairie-style garden where the bees and butterflies will flock to the flowers. Grows 1m.
Geranium 'Sabani Blue' ('Bremigo') (PBR): An oustanding geranium with large, blue flowers with deep blue veining and mounds of foliage. This exciting geranium has been bred by Alan Bremner in Orkney and knocks the socks off all the other blue geraniums. Easy to grow, it flowers earlier than most and makes an excellent groundcover. If you deadhead after flowering, there is often a second flush later in the year. Grows to 40cm.

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.
