Echinops bannaticus ‘Taplow Blue’ - Globe Flower

The best of its kind with spherical flower heads, steel-blue in bud opening to large balls of powdery mauve-blue when in full flower. Bold divided foliage, stiff vertical stems and the drumstick flower heads give this plant great architectural strength. We cut it back to the, more...

Echinops ritro ‘Veitch’s Blue’ - Veitch’s Globe Flower

Veitch’s Globe Flower is one of the stars of our dry garden where its bold dark green divided foliage and stiff stems topped by dark blue drumstick flowers causes quite a stir when in full glory. We rarely list this in the catalogue because almost as soon as plants are potted, more...

Echium ‘Cobalt Towers’

Erigeron

Erigeron glaucus ‘Seabreeze’

We’ve been given this plant by our friends at PGA. Although all E. glaucus clones are low growing some have rather lax flower stems. Erigeron ‘Sea Breeze’ has flowers that sit neatly above the evergreen foliage giving a terrific mass display of large lilac-pink daisies. Like, more...

Euonymus

Euonymus alatus

Shrubs from China and Japan don’t generally do well here at Lambley. The hot dry winds of summer are too much for them. The deciduous Euonymus alatus is an exception. I planted one about ten years ago and it has never had a burnt leaf and always puts on a really good autumn, more...
