An outstanding evergreen ground cover perennial, Barren Strawberry is a tough, reliable, and incredibly useful garden plant. It forms a dense, weed-suppressing mat of attractive, strawberry-like leaves that are divided into three glossy, dark green leaflets. This handsome foliage remains lush and green throughout the year, often taking on attractive bronze tints in cold weather. In mid to late spring, the foliage is studded with a profusion of bright, cheerful, buttercup-yellow, five-petalled flowers. While it looks like a strawberry plant, it does not produce edible fruit, hence its common name. It is an exceptionally low-maintenance and versatile plant, perfect for carpeting the ground in difficult areas, such as dry shade under trees, or for covering sunny banks.

A tough, resilient, and charming evergreen perennial, Thrift or Sea Pink is a familiar sight in coastal areas. 'Splendens' is a particularly fine selection, forming neat, dense, tussock-like cushions of fine, grassy, deep green foliage. From late spring into early summer, these tidy mounds are topped by a profusion of slender, leafless stems, each carrying a perfect, globe-shaped flower head. The flowers are a vibrant, deep rose-pink and are held well above the foliage, creating a delightful 'drumstick' effect. This plant is incredibly tolerant of salt spray, wind, and poor, sandy soils, making it an essential plant for coastal gardens. It is also perfect for rockeries, gravel gardens, or for edging a sunny, well-drained border, where it will provide long-lasting colour with minimal fuss.
