Perennials provide breathtaking colour and texture in your garden. Unless otherwise stated,  the plants in this category will all grow in average soil in sun to part shade. We do have additional  plants to those listed here, either because they are more difficult to propagate or we are building up stock numbers so see 'How To Order' for details of our catalogue and discounts on ordering three or more of one plant.
