Blend sumptuous shades of red and purple to create a Persian carpet effect that will give a sunny border summer-long colour.
Planting tips:
Prepare the bed well by digging in lots of composted organic matter before you plant. For best results it is essential that the plants are kept well watered
What's included:
In this collection you will receive 7 plants as listed below:
1 x Rosa 'Reine des Violettes': Many petalled, lilac-purple flowers are produced in a big flush in midsummer and then intermittently until autumn. They have a good fragrance and their colouring works well against the backdrop of the greyish-green foliage, which appears on near thorn-free stems. A beautiful rose with plenty of old-world charm. Grows to 1.5m. Supplied in a 4-litre pot (but field grown, so potted up in winter).
3 x Astrantia major 'Claret': This is one of the darkest-flowered astrantias, with deep, ruby red pincushion-like flowers with a ruff of longer bracts than many other varieties. The leaves are pretty, too; deeply lobed and dark green. Although it is an old cottage-garden favourite, this astrantia works equally well in contemporary-style plantings. Use towards the front of a sunny, yet moist border, where the flower colour can be fully appreciated. Grows to 90cm. Supplied in 9cm nursery pots.
3 x Salvia × sylvestris 'Mainacht': A delightful, colourful plant with spikes of indigo-blue flowers in early to midsummer. This reliable perennial is ideal for the middle of a moist, well-drained herbaceous border. It flourishes in sun or dappled shade where the bright flowers help to liven up any plant scheme. Grows to 75cm. Supplied in 9cm nursery pots.
The plants in this collection will die right back in autumn, then fresh new growth will appear again in spring.
