Thalictrum diffusiflorum

Thalictrum diffusiflorum

Words can't do justice to describe this beauty. Above finely divided gray-green foliage, huge anemone-like blue-lilac flowers with yellow stamens supported on [3'] 91cm. wiry stems. The one drawback is that it needs support and is best grown near a shrub over which it can sprawl. [well who's perfect.] Moist, but well-drained soil with roots in shade. It hates hot dry conditions. Few only. 1ltr. pots. £5.00

Thalictrum flavum ssp. glaucum

Tradescantia Concord Grape

Tradescantia Concord Grape

[Andersoniana Group] Lance shaped foliage, topped with magenta flowers, for a long season. June until first frosts. Moist, fertile soil. Sun/light-shade. [18"] 46cm. £3.50

Tricyrtis

Perfect for the woodland garden, shady border and even containers, the following Toad Lilies appreciate humus-rich moist but free-draining soil and shade. Protection in the form of a winter mulch is advised, because their fleshy dormant roots grow near to and sometimes even above ground-level. Division should take place, when the plants are dormant in early spring, at the same time protecting new growth from slugs and snails.
