At the end of March I posted a link to my piece on the Top Ten New Perennials on the website of Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. The article gives UK sources of these plants but I’ve been asked, in comments to the post and by email, for US sources. So here goes. Not all these plants may be new to the US, of course, and some have not yet crossed the water. I’ve added a few short quotes from my Telegraph piece. Don’t forget you can read the original piece here.

Rather naughtily, I'm tempting you with pictures of two for which I cannot, yet, find US mail order sources! - Geranium pratense 'Laura' (above) and Sedum 'Marchant's Best Red' (below).

Cenolophium denudatum
“resembles a large flowered, perennial version of the annual Bishop's weed (Ammi majus)”
From Thompson and Morgan Seeds

Cortaderia selloana 'Evita'
“superb dwarf introduction from Germany I spotted last year”
Described by Sugar Creek Gardens website, but not yet for sale from them - or anyone else as far as I can see.

“a superb plant for both flowers and foliage”
White Flower Farm

Heuchera 'Rave On'
“for its combination of sparkling foliage and colourful flowers, 'Rave On'… is definitely the pick.’

Well, the season to be jolly approaches – though quite why we can’t be jolly all the year round I’m not sure… anyway… - with mistletoe soon to be hanging over our heads and a jolly kiss on our minds I thought I’d share this picture and point you to my article on mistletoe in today’s Daily Telegraph newspaper back in England.

This picture of the European mistletoe was taken back in England, in Northamptonshire. It’s a partially parasitic plan which attaches itself to a host plant from which it takes nutrients. Here, a fat clump of mistletoe is growing on a 12ft/3m cotoneaster in a shrub border and looks wonderful amongst all those red berries. Although apple trees are the favorites hosts, mistletoe turns up on a wide variety of other trees and large shrubs especially those in the rose family.

You can read more about mistletoe, and even how to grow it yourself from berries, in my article in today’s Daily Telegraph.
