More Plants on the Wish-List

A few plants we saw at Harlow Carr, and warrant noting down.

  • Achillea 'Lachsschönheit' (Galaxy Series), which I discover has an AGM.
  • Achillea 'Martina', also AGM'd. Obviously, I have impeccable taste.
  • Eupatorium cannabinum, or hemp agrimony.
  • A few alpine-type plants, which would be good for a rockery or green roof:
    • Geranium sanguineum var. striatum and G. himalayense, which are low and spreading geraniums.
    • Hakonechloa macra, the green form, as well as the 'Alboaurea' which has--wait for it--an AGM. The plain form has more striking red stems than the gold.
    • Bergenia 'Abendglut', advantages of being evergreen, tolerant of site and soil, and colourful.
    • Iris setosa in dwarf form.
    • Rhodanthemum hosmariense, the Moroccan daisy, with divided silver foliage, classic daisy flowers, and and AGM to boot.
