| Description | Convolvulus cneorum
Contrasting foliage makes Convolvulus Silver Bush a striking feature in the garden.
• Slender silver foliage with bright, white cupped flowers
• Low growing, only 40cm high and round
• A beautiful addition to a cottage, low maintenance or potted garden | Sisyrinchium
Devon Skies is a special ground cover that creates a magical carpet of little blue flowers in Spring-Summer.
While its foliage has a grass-like look, and it is often known as Blue-eye Grass, it is actually a bulb closely related to the Iris. Devon Skies grows well in pots, and is also is perfect for rockeries.
This plant enjoys being in full sun to part shade, and once established is both drought and frost hardy.
Grows approximately H: 15cm W: 30cm | Pyrus ussuriensis 'Manchurian'
The Manchurian pear has a rounded habit much like its leaves, perfect for shade or rural properties, and is one of the first ornamental pears to flower in the spring and the first to take on autumn colour.
• Spring blossoms on bare branches
• Vibrant autumnal red foliage
• Ideal shade tree or the best ornamental pear for pleaching
