(Dianthus Barbatus) So beautiful! The array of colours, including white, pink and bi-colour varieties are so charming! An irresistible, colourful, biennial, or short-lived perennial, flower with single or double blooms, blooming most profusely in the spring and summer. The plants require minimal care & give lovely, low-maintenance colour to borders, beds and containers. The flowers are edible and may have medicinal properties. Attracts bees, birds, and butterflies.
Eryngium planum, commonly called sea holly, is a remarkable clump-forming perennial that features a summer bloom of steel-blue, thistle-like flower heads on branched stems rising from a rosette of dark green basal leaves. Attracts pollinators! Stiff, branched, violet-blue stems (to 32” tall), bearing abundant, egg-shaped, thistle-like, violet-blue flower heads, rise from each basal rosette in summer. Each flower head is a spherical-cylindrical umbel that is packed with tiny, stemless, violet-blue flowers. Summer bloom is often profuse.
(Amaranthus gangeticus) Annual
Huge dark burgundy red plumes look as if an elephant is raising its trunk into the air. Long blooming spectacular plant that grows 3- 5', (152 cm) grabbing attention in the garden. It is also an excellent cut flower, the larger branches can be cut into smaller ones if desired. Absolutely stunning food plant! Seeds are edible and can be popped.
Indescribably elegant, Papaver somniferum var. paeoniflorum 'Luscious Lavender' is superb in the flower border, with lush frilled, dark pink-violet/purple, often palm-sized blooms.
