Plant Catalogue: Herbaceous Perennials

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

LEUCANTHEMELLA serotina. The Hungarian Daisy survives with glee here, muscling its way through our unforgiving clay and rewarding us with a brilliant late display of gay white daisies. 2m. £4.20

LEUCOJUM autumnale. An oddball Snowflake, tiny white lampshades on dark stems in autumn. Pure charm. 10cm. £3.80

*LIMONIUM chilwellii. A ‘Sea Lavender’ with course leathery leaves erupting in an airy display of minute lavender-blue flowers on wiry branches. Excellent in seed too. 40cm £4.20

L. platphyllum ‘Robert Butler’. Clouds of tiny purple-blue flowers from silvery buds – a florist’s delight. 40cm. £4.20

*L. p. ‘Violetta’. As above, but violet. 50cm. £4.20

LOBELIA. Moisture, sunshine, a cold frame or greenhouse and over-wintering (agh!) are words that spring to mind for the successful cultivation of these glorious, colourful plants. They are well worth the effort. @ £4.30

*L. ‘Dark Crusader’. Brooding crimson-maroon flowers and nicely purple stained young foliage.

*L. laxiflora var. angustifolia. A curious species from Arizona looking vaguely Penstemon like in leaf, but with cheering bright red tubular flowers, yellow in the throat. Full sun. 75cm.

*L x speciosa. Green foliage and big flowers of pure scarlet. Eye shatteringly good. 75cm.

*LYCHNIS coronaria. Raised from wild collected seed we offer a very striking form with vivid shocking pink flowers, paler than the purple-magenta form usually encountered. 60cm. £4.00

*LYSIMACHIA clethroides. Plenty of leg room needed for the spreading roots of this Loosestrife but worth it for the show of horizontal, tapered spikes of brilliant Dulux white flowers in late summer. 1m. £4.50

*LYTHRUM salicaria ‘Lady Sackville’. A dependable mid pink. 60cm £4.20

L. s. ‘Zigeunerblut’. Vivid magenta-purple flower spikes. A Gypsy with blood this colour would be in serious need of a transfusion! 90cm. £4.20

L. virgatum. The branched stems of this widespread European and Asian species carry myriad small, deep lilac-pink flowers for weeks in mid-summer. Has a quality that becomes addictive to use and associates well with grasses too. 90cm. £4.20

*L. v. ‘Rose Queen’. Stronger spikes than the above in a half tone of pink-cum-purple. 60cm. £4.20
