A show-stopping peony with shell-pink outer petals surrounding a ruffled crown of buttery-cream staminodes.

Strong stems hold the generously sized, lightly perfumed blooms above tidy mid‑green foliage, making it ideal for cutting and for adding drama mid‑border.

Flowers from late spring into early summer in sun or light shade; once established it’s long‑lived and very low maintenance.

Immaculate and beautifully scented, Paeonia lactiflora ‘Duchesse de Nemours’ is one of the most esteemed herbaceous peonies—cherished for its refined, fully double white blooms and rich, dark green divided foliage. It brings quiet grandeur to borders and makes a splendidly luxurious cut flower.

Plant in a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade, in soil that is moist yet well-drained. As the generous flowers open, stems may benefit from discreet support for a perfectly poised display.

Phlox paniculata Mixed produces an uplifting blend of scented summer flowers in a range of shades, bringing a classic cottage-garden feel to borders and delivering plenty of stems for cutting.

These hardy perennials form upright clumps and typically reach around 1–1.5m tall, carrying dense heads of starry blooms that open over weeks, providing long-lasting colour through mid to late summer.

Plant in full sun or light partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Phlox appreciates consistent moisture and benefits from a mulched root run to help prevent stress in hot weather.

Water during dry spells and deadhead to encourage further blooms. Improve airflow by spacing plants well, and cut stems back to the base in late autumn after flowering has finished.

Ideal for mixed borders and wildlife-friendly gardens, phlox pairs beautifully with grasses and daisies, and the sweetly scented flowers are also loved by pollinators throughout the summer.

Ranunculus 'Mixed' produces a mixed selection of layered ranunculus flowers, creating a refined, romantic look in spring and early-summer borders. The blooms are especially prized for cutting and stay fresh in a vase.

Growing to around 30–60 cm, ranunculus forms low, ferny foliage and a steady succession of flowers in cool, bright conditions. Plant in groups for the fullest display and to make harvesting stems easy.

Soak the ‘claws’ for a few hours before planting, then set them in well-drained soil in full sun. In colder areas, start in pots in a frost-free place and plant out once conditions are mild.

Keep soil evenly moist while growth is active, but avoid waterlogging. Feeding every couple of weeks once buds form helps support a long flowering period.

Perfect for pots, borders and cutting gardens, ranunculus is a brilliant way to add high-end florist style at home. After flowering, let foliage die back naturally to recharge the tubers.

Ranunculus 'Orange' produces vibrant orange blooms with layered petals, creating a refined, romantic look in spring and early-summer borders. The blooms are especially prized for cutting and stay fresh in a vase.

Salvia nemorosa ‘Caradonna’ is a standout hardy perennial, celebrated for its unique glowing violet-blue flowers held on striking, dark purple-black stems that create a dramatic vertical accent in sunny borders and gravel gardens.

Rising from a neat, basal rosette of aromatic, grey-green foliage, the slender spikes bloom profusely from early summer. The contrast between the dark stems and the vibrant petals makes this variety architecturally superior to other salvias, maintaining its form well without flopping.

Plant in a fully sunny position in light, moderately fertile, and free-draining soil. ‘Caradonna’ is drought-tolerant once established and hates winter wet, so ensure the ground does not become waterlogged during the colder months.

Water well during its first season to establish the root system. To encourage a second flush of flowers later in the season, cut back the faded flower spikes in mid-summer. The clumps can be divided in spring every few years to maintain vigour.

A brilliant choice for pollinators, ‘Caradonna’ is a magnet for bees and butterflies. Its vertical habit makes it an excellent partner for planting alongside roses, silver-leaved artemisias, or swaying ornamental grasses like Stipa tenuissima.

Salvia nemorosa ‘Ostfriesland’ (East Friesland) is a compact and highly reliable perennial sage, prized for its intense violet-purple flower spikes that bring long-lasting colour to sunny borders, gravel gardens, and wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

Forming a neat, low-growing mound of aromatic, grey-green foliage, it produces a profusion of stiff, upright stems packed with small, tubular blooms. Its dense, bushy habit makes it perfect for edging paths or adding structure without blocking views further back in the bed.

Plant in a fully sunny position for the most vibrant display, thriving in light, moderately fertile, and well-drained soil. This variety is famously drought-tolerant once established and performs exceptionally well in sandy or chalky conditions where other plants might struggle.

Water regularly during its first season to establish the roots. To extend the flowering season, cut back the faded flower spikes in mid-summer; this often triggers a fresh flush of blooms in early autumn. Clumps can be divided every few years in spring to maintain vigour.

A brilliant choice for attracting bees and butterflies, ‘Ostfriesland’ provides a rich splash of colour at the front of the border. It pairs beautifully with the silver foliage of Artemisias, the bright yellows of Rudbeckias, or the soft sway of ornamental grasses.

Sedum ‘Herbstfreude’ (best known as ‘Autumn Joy’) is an iconic late-season perennial that brings structure and changing colour to the garden just as other summer flowers begin to fade. It is prized for its succulent foliage and long-lasting flower heads.

The plant forms a sturdy, upright clump of fleshy, glaucous green leaves. Large, flat flower heads emerge in summer like broccoli florets, starting pale green, turning starry pink, and finally maturing to a rich rusty-red and copper in autumn.

Plant in full sun to prevent the stems from becoming leggy, in poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soil. This variety is exceptionally drought-tolerant and performs brilliantly in sandy or rocky soils where other plants might struggle.

Water sparingly once established; this plant resents "wet feet" and over-feeding, which can cause it to flop. Leave the dried flower heads on the plant over winter—they look beautiful frosted and provide shelter for insects before being cut back in early spring.

A brilliant choice for extending the season, ‘Autumn Joy’ provides vital nectar for late-flying butterflies and bees. It looks spectacular planted in groups or alongside ornamental grasses and purple Asters for a classic autumn display.

Tigridia pavonia 'Mixed' brings a vibrant, exotic mix of peacock-like flowers with spotted centres to summer borders, with exotic, patterned flowers that open wide in sunshine. Each bloom is short-lived, but plants carry many buds, so you still get weeks of colour in warm weather.

Growing to around 45–60 cm, tiger flowers are upright and slim, making them great for weaving through planting and for pots. They look best planted in generous clumps, where the daily opening flowers create a lively, changing display.

Plant bulbs in spring after the risk of frost has passed, in full sun and well-drained soil. A warm, sheltered spot helps them flower strongly; start in pots under cover for an earlier display if needed.

Water after planting and during dry spells while shoots develop. Feed every couple of weeks once growth is established to support flowering. As temperatures cool, reduce watering and allow foliage to die back naturally.

Perfect for colourful summer pots and exotic-style borders, tigridias also make fun, unusual cut flowers. Lift and store bulbs frost-free in colder or wetter gardens to replant the following spring.
