Pollinator-friendly

Agapanthus ‘Polar Ice’ brings crisp, white flower heads to summer borders and containers, offering a clean, modern look that pairs beautifully with grasses, salvias, and Mediterranean-style planting.

This clump-forming perennial produces upright stems topped with rounded umbels of trumpet-shaped blooms, creating strong vertical accents and reliable colour through the warmest part of the year.

Plant in full sun in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. A warm, sheltered position is best, and agapanthus also performs superbly in containers where drainage can be carefully controlled.

Water regularly during active growth and feed in summer to support flowering. In colder areas, mulch the crown in winter or move containers under cover, then remove spent stems after flowering.

Excellent for pots, sunny borders, and cutting gardens, ‘Polar Ice’ provides pollinators with nectar and brings long-lasting, architectural interest to outdoor spaces from midsummer into early autumn.

Kniphofia ‘Sunningdale Yellow’ produces elegant spikes of warm yellow flowers that fade to orange tones, bringing bold summer colour and vertical structure to sunny borders and gravel gardens.

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.

Liatris spicata is a striking perennial for sunny borders, producing upright flower spikes that add height and rhythm to planting schemes, prairie-style gardens, and cutting patches in late summer.

With narrow, grass-like foliage and bottlebrush blooms in purplish-pink tones, it forms neat clumps that mix easily with grasses and daisies, bringing strong vertical accents without looking heavy.

Plant corms in full sun in light to moderately fertile soil that drains well yet stays reliably moist in summer. Avoid waterlogged winter ground, which can reduce vigour and flowering.

Water during dry spells while growth is active, and keep weeds down so stems develop strongly. Deadhead to extend the display, then cut stems back to the ground in winter once foliage has faded.

Superb for pollinator-friendly borders and long-lasting cut flowers, liatris brings colour and structure when many earlier perennials are finishing, helping to carry the garden through to autumn.

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.

Geranium × oxonianum ‘Wargrave Pink’ is a hardy geranium that produces a steady flow of soft salmon‑pink blooms over a long season. The flowers sit above clumps of divided green foliage, making it an excellent, reliable plant for borders, path edges and relaxed ground cover.

It grows happily in full sun or partial shade and copes with many garden soils, as long as the ground isn’t waterlogged. Use it at the front of borders, underplanting roses and shrubs, or weaving between taller perennials to soften edges and fill gaps with colour.

Plant in spring or early autumn, water well to settle in, and add a mulch of compost to conserve moisture and feed the soil. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering, and lightly trim back after a flush to encourage fresh growth and more blooms later on.

The pink flowers are especially effective with blues and purples, silvery foliage and white accents. It’s also a helpful plant for pollinators, and its spreading habit helps suppress weeds once it has knitted together into a dense, low mound.

You’ll receive one plant in the stated grade, dispatched in season for planting. Give it a little room and occasional water in dry spells, and it will quickly form an easy, repeatable patch of colour that returns year after year with minimal attention.

Anemone × hybrida 'Rotkäppchen' brings deep rose-pink, semi-double flowers to late-summer borders, opening on slender stems above handsome, deep green foliage. The saucer-like blooms hover gracefully and keep the garden going just as many perennials begin to fade, adding movement and light to mixed planting schemes.

Typically reaching around 75–100cm once established, Japanese anemones form clump-forming plants that spread gently by suckers over time. They flower for weeks from late summer into autumn and are excellent for weaving through grasses and shrubs, as well as for cutting when stems are harvested in bud.

Plant in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Choose a sheltered spot and enrich the planting area with compost to help retain moisture. Water well after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while roots establish.

Mulch annually in spring to conserve moisture and feed the soil, and water during prolonged dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers for a tidier display, and cut back stems once the plant has finished in autumn. Divide congested clumps in early spring if you want to control spread or increase stock.

Perfect for naturalistic borders, cottage-style planting and late-season pollinator support, these anemones also make long-lasting cut flowers. Their airy habit pairs beautifully with asters, rudbeckias and ornamental grasses, extending colour and texture into the autumn months.
