| LYSIMACHIA
These need moist but not boggy soil, given these conditions they will tolerate full sun.

Lysimachia nummularia aurea
Although the Creeping Jenny may be regarded as a very common plant the golden form, when given a moist situation is a most glorious sight, and wonderful for hiding the edge of a pool. In sun the foliage glows a brilliant gold and the starry yellow flowers add to it’s attraction. 4 ins. |
£4.50 |
|  |
 | | Lysimachia punctata
Another much maligned plant. The tall stems covered with bright yellow starry blooms will flower for weeks in the Summer, and as it is a bit of a thug it will cope with a lot of awkward conditions. Better probably for the larger or wild garden where it’s vigorous habit could be an advantage. 3ft. |
£5.00 |
 | |
| | Lysimachia punctata 'Alexander'
Not so vigorous as the above it has leaves heavily margined with creamy white, combining perfectly with the deep yellow flowers to make it a spectacular plant for a damp position. 2.5 ft |

The wild ‘Lent Lily’. Wonderful little daffodil for naturalising, self seeds if pleased. 9 ins. Price for 3 bulbs. |
£4.00 |
| |
| | Narcissus pseudonarcissus 'Bowles Early Sulphur'
Very rare small pure mid-yellow daffodil. Flowers in February. 9 ins. |

Ophiopogon planiscapes nigrescens
This amazing plant with it’s hummocks of black grass-like leaves always creates great interest, especially when planted with golden grasses. Sometimes slow to establish it needs good feeding and some moisture, in sun or part shade. In late Summer sprays of tiny mauve bell flowers are succeeded by shiny black berries which often last into the following year. 10 ins. |
£5.00 |
| |
| | Ophiopogon wallichianum
Spreading, dark green glossy grassy leaves overtopped with purple flowers, make this a charming and unusual groundcover for a partly shaded site. 6 ins. |
£4.00 |
| |
| |
| PETASITES
Invaluable plants for lake sides or binding stream edges, but, they are very invasive and need plenty of room.
|

|
|
|
Petasites japonicus giganteus
Huge rounded leaves can reach four foot across and will form large mounds in Summer. Leaves disappear in Autumn but in February the soil is dotted with green bracts revealing posies of tiny white scented daisy flowers. Although rampageously invasive it can be useful for drying out very boggy areas. 4ft. |
£6.00 |
| |
| | Petasites japonicus giganteus 'Nishiki – buki'
(syn.Variegatus) Smaller leaves gloriously marbled pale yellow. An outstanding foliage plant, but again only for a large site. 2.5 ft. |
