Plants are dispatched in growing condition and may not be in full flower. If too tall to pack safely, we may cut them back — this helps them establish more quickly. Read our Mail Order FAQs.
This compact, branching, woody-based hardy perennial has scented deep pink-purple, double flowers with open centres. Rich, jewel-toned and intensely fragrant, it brings a warmth and depth to the autumn border that few plants can match. The foliage is lobed and deep green. Happy in any soil and pH, it won’t tolerate soils that get very wet in winter and loves a position in full sun.
Flowering from September to November, this pollinator-friendly plant ties in beautifully with the rich tones of an autumn garden. It looks wonderful paired with medium-height ornamental grasses and the deep blues and purples of southern hemisphere Salvias, as well as Rudbeckia and Dahlias. It also makes an excellent cut flower.
Bred by Clive Hester in Gloucester, this is a particularly intense colour — no doubt part of the reason hardy Chrysanthemums are enjoying such a resurgence in popularity. Cut back old stems in March or April when new growth appears at soil level.
Potential skin allergen. Wear gloves when handling.
