HERBACEOUS PERENNIAL INDEX -
There are over

  • 91 herbaceous perennials in the Herbaceous Perennial galleries,
    with
    23 Diascias linked to in the Diascia Photo Album Table at the bottom of each page in the Herbaceous Gallery,
  • 176 herbaceous perennials in the RHS Mixed Borders Garden Design and
  • 46 Peonies in
    the
    Peony Gallery.

 

 

 

The variety of plants that can be used in alpine gardening is obviously very large and very bewildering at first approach. With a view to easing the task of selection here are lists
of alpines most likely to thrive
and flourish under certain easily defined conditions and for special purposes, with
Alpines and Paving.

The standard potting and seed-soil recipes from The Propagation of Alpines by Lawrence D. Hills are at the bottom of the page on Alpine - Sink and Trough Gardens.

Phlox paniculata 'Nesperis'

Dear Mr C H Garnons-Williams,   
Thank you for your enquiry to the Royal Horticultural Society's Members' Advisory Service. 
On investigation, I have concluded that the phlox labelled as 'Nesperis' in the garden is in fact: Phlox x arendsii 'Hesperis' . 
A search on the internet will generate a great deal of information on this cultivar.
I hope this information is helpful.
Yours sincerely,   

Tony Dickerson
Horticultural Advisor
