Heuchera ‘Georgia Peach’ - Available June 2008
Bred by Dan Heims of Terra Nova Nurseries Oregon USA, Heuchera ‘Georgia Peach’ is the latest, and arguably the best, of his new heuchera introductions. Unique, large, rich peach-coloured leaves make a bold foliage statement, whether in the border or on the patio. The evergreen leaves are complemented by tall spires of small, creamy-white flowers in summer.

Polygala ‘Bibi Pink’ - Available July 2008
Also bred in the USA, Polygala ‘Bibi Pink’ is a classic Mediterranean-style shrub with a twist – it is hardy down to -12C! This delightful plant has evergreen, grey-green leaves with pretty, purplish-pink, pea-like flowers produced continuously throughout the summer. It is excellent in a sunny, well-drained border or on the patio.

New Generation Alstroemerias - In Stock Now
Hillier Nurseries is introducing a collection of new generation Alstroemerias, or Peruvian lilies, bred in France and selected for their compact growth and brilliantly coloured summer flowers that perform all season long. Look out for Alstroemeria ‘Douceur d’Automne’ with pillar-box red flowers and a golden throat flecked brown; ‘Cahors’ with pale pink flowers, painted deep rose with a primrose throat flecked brown; ‘Ceres’ with vivid magenta-pink flowers with a yellow throat flecked brown; ‘Saturn’, which has rose-pink and yellow flowers and ‘Uranus’ with rose-carmine flowers. All in all, this is a superb collection of hardy perennials for a hot summer border.

Cordyline ‘Firecracker’ - Available September 2008
An exciting, English-raised new introduction of the New Zealand cabbage tree. A compact plant with striking evergreen purple-red leaves that are typically sharp and sword-like but far narrower and shorter than other forms, ‘Firecracker’ is a wonderful and architectural addition to a sunny border or patio.
