For Cut Flowers

Echinacea 'Green Twister' is a distinctive coneflower with lime-green petals flushed lilac-pink toward the centre, giving each bloom a fresh, two-tone look that draws the eye through summer.

It forms a sturdy clump with upright stems and prominent central cones, making it excellent for wildlife-friendly borders, prairie-style planting and cut flowers.

Plant in full sun or light shade in well-drained soil, avoiding sites that remain wet in winter. Once established, it is notably tolerant of heat and short dry spells.

Deadhead to prolong flowering or leave some seedheads standing for autumn structure and birds, then cut back old stems once growth finishes.

Anemone hupehensis ‘Prinz Heinrich’ is a Japanese anemone that brings deep rose‑pink, semi‑double flowers to the garden from late summer into autumn. The blooms float above divided green foliage on wiry stems, adding movement to borders. The narrow, overlapping petals give a refined, airy finish.

Plant it in full sun or partial shade in soil that stays evenly moist but drains well. It’s especially useful for brightening the edge of woodland planting or mixed borders when many summer perennials are winding down. In hotter positions, a little afternoon shade helps flowers stay fresh.

Over time it forms a clump and can slowly spread, so give it space and avoid moving it once established. It pairs well with ornamental grasses, asters and late‑flowering salvias for a long season of interest. Plant in groups if you’d like a more natural drift over time.

Water during dry spells for better flowering, and add a mulch of compost in spring to support healthy growth. Stems can be lightly supported in exposed spots, but they usually weave naturally through neighbours. Avoid winter waterlogging, but don’t let the soil bake dry in summer.

Cut back in late autumn, or leave stems for winter texture and tidy in spring. A reliable choice for late colour with a soft, romantic look. Once established, Japanese anemones can flower reliably for years.

Growing to around 0.5–1m tall in flower, it forms a clump of strap-like foliage and sends up multiple spikes through summer, making it a reliable performer for long-season impact in hot borders.

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil and choose a warm, sheltered position where winter wet is minimal. Kniphofia performs best where it isn’t shaded and where drainage is sharp in colder months.

Water to establish, then only in prolonged drought. Feed in spring and remove spent flower stems to encourage more blooms; tidy old leaves in spring as new growth appears for a clean finish.

Perfect for prairie-style borders and wildlife gardens, this red-hot poker pairs beautifully with grasses and echinacea, and it is also a strong pollinator plant in mid to late summer.

Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens', often called black mondo grass, is a striking evergreen perennial grown for its arching, near-black strap-like foliage that creates year-round contrast in pots and planting schemes.

In summer it produces short spikes of pale purplish flowers, followed by dark berries, but it is the dramatic foliage that makes this plant such a favourite for edging, gravel gardens and contemporary combinations.

Plant in sun or partial shade in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It is slow to spread, making it easy to place precisely where a dark accent is needed.

Water while establishing and trim away tired leaves in spring if needed. Once settled it is low maintenance and forms tidy, long-lived clumps.
