Description
Achillea 'Ruby Wine'
Height x Spread: 75cm x 60cm
Clusters of rich ruby red flowers are held high on branching stems above mid green finely cut foliage. The flowers are best in mid summer.
This reliable and long flowering Achillea is great for adding a delicate and airy layer of richness to the middle of a cottage garden or herbaceous border, but also combines beautifully with ornamental grasses. 'Ruby Wine' prefers a free draining soil and full sun, but usefully can also tolerate a small amount of shade.

PENSTEMON 'Lilac and Burgundy'
One of the prettiest Penstemon around, 'Lilac and Burgundy' is very elegant with lilac bell flowers, each boldly marked with a burgundy and white striped throat over green dagger-like foliage.
PENNISETUM alopecuroides 'Hameln'
Striking and effervescent, 'Hameln' boasts lush clumps of arching linear foliage above which bottle-brush spikes of pale silver explode in summer like fireworks before fading to buff in the autumn.
