Plant description

This woodland-inspired border collection features delicate white blooms and lush green foliage, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere in light shade. The plants are well-suited for dappled areas, providing year-round interest and supporting local pollinators.

Carefully curated to deliver on style and performance, and grown to order on the Crocus nursery, our mini-border plant collections create beautiful displays that come back year after year. Comprising six, 9cm plants, the collections will typically be dispatched from late March to mid-April - perfectly timed for spring planting and robust growth.

Each collection is suited to fill a 1m sq space, and has been designed to enable you to either place them on their own, intersperse them with other plants, or weave them in multiples through your borders to create a cohesive, considered look to your garden.

What's included:

Each collection contains the following plants:

1 x Brunnera macrophylla 'Mister Morse' (PBR): ‘Mr Morse’ is a wonderful clump-forming ground-covering plant for cool, reliably moist spots in the garden, which sends up a froth of elegant, pure flowers on narrow stems in early spring. The heart-shaped leaves of this Siberian blugloss are veined with silver exactly like the more familiar Brunnera ‘Jack Frost’, but with white forget-me-not like flowers instead of blue. This gorgeous groundcover plant is perfect for the front of a cool border, edging a woodland path, or lighting up moist, shady areas under canopy of deciduous trees alongside ferns, hostas and primulas. Grows to 50cm.
1 x Pulmonaria 'Sissinghurst White': Delicate, pure-white, funnel-shaped flowers in early spring and white-spotted, bright-green leaves. This dainty pulmonaria is perfect for shady areas. One of the first to flower, it looks lovely alongside miniature daffodils. Best in a soil that remains moist over summer, since mildew can take hold if the roots dry out. Grows to 30cm.
2 x Convallaria majalis: Strongly scented, bell-shaped flowers with waxy textured petals are followed by bright red berries. These appear on slender, upright to gently arching stems, which arise from amongst the lush green foliage. Grows to 25cm.
2 x Anemone leveillei: This gorgeous anemone looks wonderful when planted in big, naturalised swathes, where there is a reliable amount of moisture. It forms a low, softly hairy mound of foliage, which in late spring and early summer is topped with elegant, lilac-backed white flowers that have a central cluster of deep purple-blue anthers. Happiest in a sunny spot, it can also be grown in lightly dappled shade. 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:

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