I'm not sure you can beat this variety with its beautiful cream-yellow flower spreading to lavender on its margins and an unforgettable scent. | Arabis alpina caucasica 'Angvine' Absolutely stunning hardy alpine with golden frilled green foliage and gorgeous pink flowers in spring and the start of summer. |
Variegated foliage, just like 'Doctor Mules Variegata' but with purple-red flowers. | A rich green, mound forming variety with dark magenta-red flowers. |
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. |
