Garden Designers recommend planting perennials in groups of 3 or 5 for a more natural balanced, and visually impactful look. It helps the plants stand out together and creates a lovely flow in your garden. But don’t worry – this plant also looks great on its own or in small groupings

All our plants can be planted all year round providing the ground is not water logged or frozen at the time of planting

Water well before planting and until well established

Herbaceous perennials die back below ground level each autumn, then fresh new growth will appear in the warmer months
