Lambley Nursery Perennial Catalogue

A fine selected clone grown from division from imported plants.Makes a low clump of very wide, handsome glossy green leaves and 60cm. tall stems carrying large mop heads of white flowers faintly lined with blue. Prefers sun. 60cm.x70cm.

This super frost hardy aloe makes a shrub some 150cm tall by as much wide shrub. The striated stems are well clothed with narrow dark green succulent leaves.

One of the most beautiful of all Japanese anemones, ‘Hadspen Abundance’ carries its deep carmine pink flowers from February until the end of April. It does well here if given adequate summer watering. It is definitely not a plant for a dry garden.

This new variety of Anisodontea has large, for the genus, hibiscus like flowers which are rich pink during the warmer months and deepen to salmon-pink during colder periods.

A relatively dwarf New Zealand Rock Lily with handsome arching sword shaped leaves and produces masses of shooting star, lily-like flowers during spring and summer.

This is the Aster x frikartii that Dennis Norgate sold for so many years and it is one of the best of all Easter daisies. It produces its large well shaped cool lavender-blue flowers from February until May.

The best white flowered Bergenia we know with good tough foliage and the old leaves colouring well in winter. The flower stems are held well above the leaves and have horizontal secondary stems which display the white flowers beautifully.

This plant is found wild in dry woodland in the Mexican mountains. We grow it in our dry climate garden in dry shade under olive trees. Evergreen succulent rosettes some 90cm wide by 70cm tall, like a green leaved spineless agave, are bold and handsome all the year round.

Exquisite dangling long tubular flowers, lemon merging to pink with a white flare, are produced during spring and early summer on a 180cm tall evergreen shrub. A little light pruning after flowering will keep it tidy.

Caryopteris are tough drought tolerant deciduous shrubs which, happily for us, flower for a long time during late summer and autumn. ‘Lisaura’ is the best of the gold leaf forms.

Named “sweet” because of its wonderful honey fragrance. We grow it on a trellis in our double borders where, although cut back to 60cm during winter, it covers an area about 2 metres in height and 4-5 metres in width.
