Perennial Collection

Plant our Perennial Collection this spring and look forward to a gorgeous mixture of colourful flowers this year and for many years to come. The collection has been carefully selected for a long season of colour, commencing with the early blooms of Aquilegia, following up with the long-lasting spikes of Salvia nemerosa and continuing into the autumn with Verbena and Coneflowers. The collection also features varied flower shapes and habits, from the vertical spires of Delphiniums to the cheerful daisy-like Coreopsis and the airy sprays of Verbena ‘Buenos Aires.’ With a colour palette of blues, purples and pinks complemented by the golden yellow of Coreopsis ‘Golden Joy,’ this beautifully balanced collection of perennials will create a picture-perfect arrangement in your flower borders.

Perennial Collection comprises the following varieties:

• Salvia nemorosa 'Salvatore Deep Blue' (6 plugs) - Brings a lovely vertical accent to the front of borders with its erect flower spikes.

• Echinacea 'Nectar Pink' (6 plugs)  - Deep rose pink petals surround the central cone of this pretty Echinacea.
