Agapanthus ‘Guilfoyle’

The most exciting agapanthus we have grown with flowers as dark as any evergreen agapanthus. It makes huge heads of waxy midnight-blue flowers. Each head will flower for 6-8 weeks and secondary flower stems carry the display into autumn. The dark green foliage has an upright, more...

We grow the Mexican Hyssop instead of Bergamots as the water needs of Bergamots are much too great to warrant a place in our garden. Agastache mexicana makes 120cm tall stems clothed with citron scented leaves topped with 40cm spikes of deep dusky pink flowers with deeper, more...

Artemisia absinthum ‘Lambrook Silver’ - Lambrook Silver Wormwood

One of the late Marjorie Fish’s plants from her garden at Lambrook Manor. I find it to be the longest lived of all the wormwoods and we have had one plant in the double borders for nigh on 10 years and with a little judicial pruning it should be beautiful for 10 more., more...
