This one is a rarity. The serrated edged petals lie in double rows that give the flower a "frilly" appearance. The flowers are light pink with white centres in the early stage of blooming. The best blooms come in early Autumn and the small heads shine out amongst the verdant foliage. The breeder of this plant in 1938 was M. Haworth Booth. Don't miss out on this pretty little plant! 3-4 foot height at maturity. |

A common garden plant and highly valued for its vigour and bloom dependability. Sterile flowers appear in August and remain on the plant until the first hard frost. Large conical shaped white flower heads turn to pink in the Autumn with grey-green leaves. First sent to America from Japan in 1861, this continues to be one of the best loved varieties. The blooms can easily be used for drying. This plant is also available in a tree form version. 6+ foot height at maturity. |

This is the best of the Anomala species. The beautiful climber takes a few years to really get going but then grows and climbs its way around and up. It can be enjoyed as a ground cover with its white lacecap type flowers, or let it climb up old stumps or wood walls and it will put on a spectacular display. This plant is also fantastic when allowed to grow up a tree, and does little if any harm provided that it is not allowed to cover the tree's top growth and foliage. It is very hardy and needs morning sun with afternoon shade to be at its best. |
