Shrubs

This renowned plant is the most often found Manzanita growing in Californian gardens where it is grown as an evergreen specimen shrub or a hedge. It can be kept clipped to a metre tall or allowed to grow to a 2 metres tall shrub.

A Dutch raised cross between Buddleja davidii var. magnifica and Buddleja globosa which was selected for its richer colour. Large shrub with arching lance shaped leaves, golden flowers in large dense panicles. Very hardy. Full sun/part shade.

This is the best dwarf Forsythia which only grows 120cm tall by as much across. During early spring it produces a mass of lemon-yellow open bells so abundantly that you can barely see the stem for flowers. During autumn the foliage turns burgundy chocolate.

This old fashioned semi-evergreen shrub has been grown in western gardens since 1824 and in Chinese gardens for aeons before that. Small pure white double flowers are produced in clusters on cascading, arching branches during late spring and early summer.
