What they say...

Visitors to this small nursery will come away, not only with a boot full of grasses but, as Gough practises what he preaches in his magnificent borders, buckets of information on how to plant them.

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

NERINE bowdenii alba. White flowers from blush pink buds. A rare and beautiful plant which is perfectly hardy.	£5.50
*N. b. ‘Marnie Rogerson’.* Palest pink with a hint of shrimp in the colour. A scarce plant but easy to please.	£5.30
*N. b. ‘Washfield’.* A shade paler than the typical form one usually encounters. Lots of sun for a tip-top performance.	£4.50

NEPETA. The Catmints – and we love them just as much as they do.
N. ‘Bramdean’*. A distinct seedling with dark stems and calyxes discovered in a Hampshire garden. 40cm	£4.35
N. clarkei. Introduced from Kashmir by Botanist Martyn Rix and described by him as pure blue. It is uncommon but remains a lovely plant which requires only light, rich soil in sun to prosper. 40cm.	£4.35
*N. ‘Dawn to Dusk’.* Dutch Nurseryman, Coen Jansen’s subtle selection. Pale pink with purple calyxes. 60cm.	£4.35
N. govaniana. From Kashmir with dainty, pale yellow hooded flowers. Needs a light, rich soil (not dry) to do well but worth every effort. 120cm.	£4.35
N. kubanica. A leafy Caucasian species bearing clusters of large violet-blue flowers held in dark calyxces. New to us, it came highly recommended and is a plant for full sun or partial shade. 80cm+	£4.35
N. nuda. Upright growth and a subtle misty display of tiny grey-lavender flowers for weeks. Fans of strong colour will no doubt pass it by. 1.2m.	£4.35
*N. racemosa ‘Walkers Low’.* A Tomcat of a Catmint with a vigour to match. Deep lavender-blue flowers. 60cm.	£4.35
N. yunnanesis. A large blue flowered Asian species. With its rampant habit it might be just the plant to make plain places rough (a Bibical misquote!). 90cm.	£4.35
