Description
Erigeron 'Quakeress'
Height x Spread: 50cm x 50cm
Fabulous hanging buds open to upward facing narrow petalled daisy flowers in a pretty lilac, held on strong wiry stems over a rosette of dark green foliage. These wonderfully reliable free flowering summer perennials should be more widely grown.
They form small tidy clumps and are ideal in poorer soils in full sun. Once they have finished flowering, if the old flower stems are removed they often re-bloom.
Rosy's Colour Picks
GERANIUM 'Brookside'
A modern cultivar that delivers intense mid-blue flowers with white centres and reddish veins, over deeply divided mid-green foliage. One of the longest flowering and brightest blue Geraniums we know.
NEPETA grandiflora 'Summer Magic' PBR
This excellent variety would be an ideal substitute for a lavender hedge in soils where lavender does not thrive. It was a new introduction in 2013, launched at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
ASTRANTIA 'Buckland'
This very pretty variety has green and white outer bracts encircling a soft pink inner pincushion.
ACHILLEA 'Moonshine'
This plant's very soft grey foliage contrasts well with the intense yellow flowers that are produced in early summer.
