Growing weird, wonderful, new, rare and unusual perennial plants in Norfolk with the help of a Border Collie called Nel.

The joy of watering late in the evening - Elymus canadensis 'Icy Blue ' glowing last night.

The slugs have finally found the leaves but thankfully there are flowers to distract! Hosta sp TCM12-838. Compact and normally intact...

A little bunch of annual Briza maxima has popped up in the Verbena 'Bampton' growing in the path as you enter our sales area. Perfect combo but you need to be ready to thin both out as the selfseed!

Veronicastrum virginicum 'Fascination' and Rubus ulmifolius 'Bellidiflorus'. Probably not an ideal combination but they blend quite well!

Starting to look at what I'll be taking to the @GreatDixter Plant Fair this weekend - mostly grasses this time I suspect but there will be all sorts of other bits too!

Happy to take orders but I'll need them by close of Wednesday so we can get them picked on 1/2

Sanguisorba stipulata ssp riishirensis

Greyish foliage and these rich red flowers almost concealed by the white filaments.

Commelina dianthifolia caught our eye as we started a stock take yesterday. Website all updated at last!

These stunning blue flowers are only open for the morning but will worth it. 20cm.

A new contender for "longest plant name" in our range: Schoenoplectus lacustrus ssp tabernaemontanus 'Zebrinus'!

A fun sedge for wet places, well behaved and pretty tough. I first saw it growing in a repurposed cattle trough against a black painted wall and it looked amazing.

Dierama ambiguum seedlings - look like they have some D igneum in them to me. Lovely plants anyway, flowering at about 50cm.

@crawley_mick Thank you! I've been struggling to tell the invading V nigrum (both yellow and white) from the V chaixii album that I grow on the nursery. Basal leaves looks easy - do you know if these two hybridise?

Still busy sending mail orders out. This was a satisfying little one to pick and pack - Begonia grandis 'Heron's Pirouette' and 'Sapporo', better to send them before they get too tall! All packaging paper and cardboard.

The rather delightful Viola corsica. Gently selfseeds, ideal for cracks in paving or gravel. We have a nice batch of young plants nearly ready to go, they'll be added to the website in a week or two.

@utterly_country The problem with Palace Purple is that a lot of folks have grown it from seed with no regard to how close it is to the parent. You see some poor specimens nowadays.

[Tim Fuller @PlantPref]

The rarely seen Heuchera 'Ruffles' makes an excellent, long lived garden plant. Pre-dates all the modern coloured leaf forms and outlives most of them!

Knautia macedonica old red form looks at home with the warm golden flowers of Melica persica. Both wanting full sun and drained soil.

Cortaderia selloana 'Icalma' catching the low sun. Early flowering so avoiding most weather damage, dwarf and with blue-grey leaves. Very close to 'Patagonia' but they are different.

Eryngium planum 'White Glitter' is a bit different to the usual blues. Could be useful in some places - and still like by the insects.
