A big ol monstera plant for sale. The planter it's in is about as tall as a wine bottle, and there are 7 large leaves that are broader than the planter.
Anyone in Chicago want to buy this large monstera for $120? Pick up in Albany Park. 🌿🪴🍃

So pleased to have quite a few of these little characters to sell at the moment: Arisaema flavum. Perfectly hardy and quite easy here over the last several years.

Our Allium cyathophorum var farreri are providing some interest to these bumble bees at the moment. Plenty for them to choose from!

Amsonia orientalis getting going now. Love the subtle colour change as the flowers age, it's the only one that has pink tones as far as I know.
Young plants almost ready to go.

The annual quaking grass, Briza maxima, has self seeded into Verbena officinalis 'Bampton'. Another happy accident in my mind!
We don't normally sell annuals but do have a few of the Briza at the moment.

Watsonia bourbonica 'Peach Glow' doing the glowing thing!
We are between batches of these at the moment, new ones ready later in the summer.

Mingling in the stock bed:
Geum 'Savannah Sunset'
Geranium phaeum 'Ray of Light', unknown pink and 'Joseph Green' (really not sure about him).
Tellima grandiflora 'Delphine'
All to be divided later in the summer.

I post it at least once a year but here we go again. The Vincetoxicum hirundinaria growing in the path on our sales area is looking and smelling amazing again.

The next burst of colour on our sales area: Phlox glaberrima 'Bill Baker'. It's a great low growing patch former for the front of border or a large rockery type space. Tough once established.

I'm very grateful to Michelle and the team for the feature, and to all the extra visitors and mail order customers we've had over the last 3 weeks or so.
It's not just Monty's dog featured, my Nel was included too and had been loving the fuss!

Dianthus deltoides back in our sales range for the first time in many years. Very low growing species with flower stems that can mingle with its neighbours. One day we'll try it with small grasses on a path edge.

An oldie now but Polemonium 'Lambrook Mauve' is one of those reliable survivors that will keep on performing at the front of the border.

There's been a lot of appreciation for Viola elatior amongst visitors to the nursery this week. It's self seeded in the paths and gravel beds quite a bit but it's never a nuisance.

I've been watching the buds on this Iris 'Kent Pride' for the last week and it finally opened yesterday. I'm a complete sucker for brown flowers!

Geum 'Lemon Drops' has been very popular this spring. This pale yellow goes well with other colours, especially blues. A few left!

I really like this pair: Aquilegia vulgaris 'Nivea' and Allium subhirsutum. An accidental combination in pots but they really sparkle together.

This is proving to be a great year for the wood rushes. Luzula sylvatica 'Bromel' here looking fantastic. Good for shade, even quite dark as long as it isn't bone dry.

A fresh spring combination for a shady spot that has happened when sales plants get put together...
Milium effusum 'Aureum' with Tiarella cordifolia 'Moorgrün' behind and a few flowers from Vinca difformis 'Ruby Baker' to brighten it up.

Low evening sun really suits some of the Geums. This is 'Rusty Young'.

Uvularia grandiflora var pallida making a lovely subtle contribution in light shade at the moment. Great with white variegated Acorus and Luzula behind.
Good soil that doesn't dry out too much!

It's been a few years since we've sold Alopecurus pratensis 'Aureovariegatus' but this lot of divisions should soon make nice plants.

First flowers on the Geums last week. This is one of the lovely warm but soft yellows 'Farmer John Cross'. Compact and a good doer.

Viola sororia 'Rubra' was really glowing in the evening sun yesterday.
