CORYDALIS. Glorious mainly woodland plants.
-   cheilanthifolia. This enchanting plant appears to be happy growing in any conditions that don't dry out. The pretty bronzy green fern-like foliage forms mounds covered in yellow locket flowers. Summer fls. 1ft.   D
-   flexuosa. Due to the confusion in the trade where the collected forms have become more than a little muddled up, we have decided to call these plants by their specific name only. All have the most superb blue flowers, and striking lacy foliage, a combination which makes them unique and highly desirable, .1ft.   C
-  'Nightshade'.  Growing taller than the foregoing, similar bronze foliage but a much more purple flower.  E

CROCOSMIA. These very attractive plants with their rush-like foliage and bright late Summer flowers are
wonderful for planting in the drier areas outside a pond to expand the "aquatic" effect. Both the blooms and seed heads are excellent for flower arranging. The naming of cultivars is often dubious but those we list here we believe to be correct following much research.
'Zeal Giant'. One of the very best tall Crocosmias, very large sprays of vivid orange flowers 5ft.   F

DARMERA
-   peltata. Splendid damp lover. Three foot high red stems topped with clusters of pink flowers that appear in early Spring, and are followed by huge scalloped circular leaves that have a tropical look. This is a most useful plant for binding stream banks.   E

DICENTRA.  One of the most useful groups for providing colour and ferny foliage in cool conditions, bordering a pond for instance. Many will flower from late Spring to early Autumn, but all disappear during the Winter months.
  - cucullaria. (Dutchman's Breeches) An ephemeral plant as both leaves and flowers appear for only a few weeks early in the year, it is nevertheless one of the most beautiful. The pure white flowers, carried on arching stems, resemble a flock of doves in full flight 8 ins.     E
-'Langtrees'.  Glaucous leaf with cream pink tipped flowers. We cannot distinguish between this and 'Pearl Drops' and feel that these two are really the same plant. 1ft.    E
-  macrantha.  A quite distinct and unusual species with three inch long buff yellow locket flowers. Jagged leaves held on wiry stems. 2 ½ ft.   E
-  scandens . This climbing Dicentra will reach an astonishing 8 ft in a Summer but isn't at all invasive. The pale green leaves beautifully set off the generous clusters of yellow lockets.     E
- macrocapnos.  Distinguished from the above, only really by the shape of the seed pods, which in this species are rounded and plump as opposed to flat. 8ft.   E

DIERAMA. Known popularly as Angel's Fishing Rods these are the most striking plants for the water-side. They grow best in a damp but not soggy sunny spot; but coming from South Africa they may need some Winter protection in exposed gardens. The clumps of grass like leaves are overtopped by graceful arching stems that are studded with bell shaped flowers in Summer.  Later, the seeds hang down like bead necklaces. Whilst they seed freely, to obtain true colour strains they must be propagated by division, and all our plants are produced like this.
- pulcherrimum. Rose pink flowers , to 5ft.     E
-    - 'Candy Stripe'. The sugar pink flowers are splashed with deep rose. 5ft.   K
-    - 'Pearly Queen'. Very unusual cream coloured flowers. 5ft.    K

DISPORUM.  Woodlander, needing similar conditions to Solomon's Seal.  Provides interesting contrast to other more ordinary plants.
- sessile variegatum. Lance shaped green and white striped leaves, white bell flowers. Spreads by a creeping root stock to form  a bright patch in a shady place. 2ft.      D

DUCHESNEA.
- indica 'Snowflake'. Delightful variegated ground-cover plant from the USA.  Grey green serrated leaves edged white. Creeping habit like a strawberry. 4 ins.   E

EUPATORIUM
-  cannabinum Flore-Pleno. Forming splendid large clumps this is an excellent plant for damp ground where it's large rose pink flower heads cover the whole plant in late Summer. 5ft.   E
-  purpureum. Handsome and imposing in a big way. Makes large clumps in damp rich soil with 8ft tall purple stems supporting flat heads, up to a foot across, of purple rose flowers that bloom in Sept/Oct. a most magnificent structural plant.    E
-   - 'Gateway' . Superb plant with sturdy upright and strikingly black stems rising to 5ft or more. Rich pink flower heads in late Summer. Full sun.  E
-  rugosum 'Chocolate'. Exciting variety with chocolate purple foliage and white flowers in mid Summer. Sun or half shade, combining well with ferns and Astrantia. 4ft.   E

EUPHORBIA.  (Please note that the sap of these plants can cause blisters)
- palustris.  Magnificent euphorbia for the bog-garden. Great heads of deep yellow last from Spring to early Summer and are followed by brilliant Autumn foliage of cream, orange and chestnut. 4ft.    E
