A great garden performing amber coloured Heuchera. Spring foliage is more purple and summer becomes more red. | Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips' (VR) This is a wild selection of the Mexican Salvia microphylla - with small green leaves and unique scarlet-red and white, two-toned flowers. Depending on temperature and moisture these will tend to appear almost completely red or white at any one time, but usually both colours are showing. |
Leaves with huge cinnamon stars are surrounded by the loveliest intense orange tea coloured borders. The big, palmate cut leaves darken in the summer and lighten up again in the autumn. Its H. villosa origins give it a big bold habit and summer heat tolerance. | Large leaves start vivid red and gradually darken to ruby red through the season making it stunning in the Autumn. |
This is technically part of the "fertile blue group" of Meconopsis. Not common in cultivation, but this is a reliable form of this perennial from The Himalayas, with enormous electric, cobalt-blue flowers, up to four inches (10cm) across and distinctive rusty brown hairs on the stems and new leaves. Certainly the best form of this group available in the world today. |
