List by Flower Colour - White
|
Achillea chrysocoma |
Bright Yellow Native to the Balkan peninsula, in mountain grassland. |
Plate-like |
July |
8-12 x 12 |
Bipinnat -isect leaves of bright Green |
Excellent cut flower in fresh or dry arrangements. To dry, cut and hang upside down in a dark area with good ventilation. Companions - Asiatic lilies, eryngium, salvia, ornamental grasses, rudbeckia, phlox, phygelius, dahlia, hemerocallis. |
Moist, well-drained poor soil is best to avoid plants flopping, Sand or Chalk in full Sun. |
Achillea |
Metallic Blue |
June, July, August, Clump-forming |
36-42 x 12 |
Deeply-cut Dark Green |
Japanese Painted Fern (Athyrium nipponicum) and Deer Fern (Blechnum spicant) make good companions, as well as Grasses, Astrantia, Astilbe, Actaea and Eupatorium. Other Companions from Perennial Resource. |
An excellent cut flower, unique for its large, draped sepal. Perfect to use in borders or at the woodland's edge. |
Aconitum |

White flower spires are generally more demon-strative in front of darker back-grounds. |
|
July, August, September, October Erect form |
48 x 36 |
Deep Purple foliage on upright brownish-purple stems provides excellent texture and color to the landscape throughout the growing season. |
Soil - On the acid side of neutral, light sand and leaf-mouldy but able to retain moisture. Best sheltered in locations sheltered from strong winds. Requires support structure (Birch branch?) |
Adds architectural height and late summer bloom to a shaded part of the border or shade garden. Also effective in woodland gardens, cottage gardens and naturalized areas. Best in groups, although single plants have good specimen value once established. Try it at the back of a border, between evergreens. |

Jun Mat-Form |
4-12 x 4 (10-30 x 10) |
2-4 inch (5-10 cm) wide basal prostrate rosette of grey-green. Leaves leathery spatulate with hairy margins from which on a 6-inch stem are borne the flowers. |
A high alpine species is native from gravelly slopes, valleys; 1800-3200 metres in North-West Yunnan of China. A meagre, very gritty soil and a position in a chink between rocks helps to keep the plants compact. |
Equal parts of loam, leafmould and sand. This is a suitable mixture for plants which require a light, open, porous soil with good drainage. |
Androsace See Rock Garden Plant Index A for further details. |

Anemone coronaria |
Red, Blue or White |
4 petalled star shape bloom |
Mar-Jun Spreading. Where soil is not moist, soaking the tubers in lukewarm water for about 24 hours will speed start of growth. Once started, plants must be given adequate moisture until flowering is past and foliage begins to die down. |
Natural habitat is sandy soil enriched by leaf mould in established woodlands, where they receive both full sun and part shade. |
Dark Green Plant tubers 3 inches (7.5 cm) deep and spaced about 3 inches apart in bold drifts in Between June and August, lift and divide tubers after foliage has died down every 2 or 3 years. |
Well-drained Chalk, Sand Suitable Anemones for the Rock garden:-
|
Pans in Alpine House, Rock Garden. Must be given protection of frames or greenhouses in colder areas. Companions:- |
Anemone See further details about Anemones in Allium Anemone Gallery. My suggestion for Anemones in the UK: Plant in 6 inch (15 cm) pot and plunge in outside bed after frost has passed, let them flower and then lift them and place in cold frost-free greenhouse during the winter without watering them. |
Anemone hupehensis |
White, Pink or Purple The whites look hand-some with lots of green foliage. Combine with spring bulbs because the leaves emerge late. |
Clump and |
Aug-Sep |
36-48 x 18 (90-120 x 45) |
2-8 inch (5-20 cm) long, 2-6 inch (5-15 cm) wide basal Green leaves with lower surface pale Green |
Well-drained Acidic Sand is preferred - will tolerate fertile chalky soil. In China is native and naturalized on scrub, grassy slopes and streamsides in hill regions. |
Underplant Rosa glauca and fruit trees. Use on slopes and streamsides. Good Companions - Japanese anemones mix well with many vibrant autumn flowers, including Aster 'Little Carlow' and Aster laevis 'Calliope'. |

Need to be protected from competition in the root zone. Plants disappear by midsummer (Summer dormant), earlier if they don't get enough moisture. Remove dead foliage and mark location of plants; even when dormant, they need to be kept moist. Tubers may rot in very wet soils like clay or alongside streams, rivers or lakes. |
Grow in a woodland garden, underplanting in a shady shrub border or a rock garden. See Nursery of Perennials, Ferns and Bulbs for Shade for other plants to put in the shade. Native in woodlands within Eastern USA. |
