Lambley Nursery Perennial Catalogue

A dwarf Miscanthus with bronze feathery flower heads which are produced well clear of the leaves during summer and autumn. It is best when grown in drifts rather than as individual specimens. Sun 60cm x 50cm.

A new selection of variegated Miscanthus much smaller growing than M. ‘Zebrinus’ and unlike the latter is neat and tidy. It has a rigidly upright growth habit and its dark green leaves are heavily banded with gold. It impressed visitors to our garden last summer and autumn.

This is one of our own seedlings which we selected about fifteen years ago. Less fountain like, more vertical in growth than most feather grasses, it has an excellent separation between flowers and foliage.

This penstemon, which was found growing in Sissinghurst Castle gardens is a clear, clean pink. Smaller in all its parts than most garden penstemons it is a tough, long flowering, front of the border plant. 40cm x 40cm.

Deep violet-purple tubular flowers are carried on 90cm tall stems from late spring until late autumn. Glossy, dark green foliage adds to the affect. Plant in any sunny or lightly shaded spot. Removing spent flower stems will keep the display looking fresh.

'Osprey' grows somewhat taller than most Penstemon, often growing 120cm tall and carrying its white tubular, pink lobed flowers on the upper 60cm. Plant in any sunny or lightly shaded spot. Removing spent flower stems will keep the display looking fresh.
