Honeysuckle ‘Hall’s Prolific’

Brachyglottis ‘Sunshine’
This resilient little shrub forms a natural mound of silvery-grey leaves, each covered in a downy layer of fine hairs.
Amelanchier canadensis
Starry, white flowers decorate the branches of the Serviceberry in spring, just as the young, bronze foliage emerges. The new leaves quickly mature to bright green throughout the summer, before colouring to orange, gold and red for an exceptional autumn display.
Pachysandra terminalis ‘Variegata’
Japanese Spurge is a useful ground cover plant, thriving in those difficult shaded areas on almost any soil. If the emerald green foliage of the species is too oppressive then add a splash of colour with this light reflecting variegated form.

Spiraea are popular deciduous shrubs and this dwarf variety has a mound forming habit which adds an ornamental charm to any garden setting.
Pachysandra terminalis ‘Green Sheen’
Pachysandra terminalis ‘Green Sheen’ has amazing ?wet-look? foliage due to the extra glossy surface of the leaves. In early summer, this low maintenance perennial bears short upright spikes of pristine white flowers that contrast beautifully with dark foliage.
Parthenocissus henryana
Parthenocissus henryana is a majestic deciduous climber with twining stems that cloak walls in a dense covering of foliage. Palmate, deep green, velvety leaves are tinted bronze-pink when young, with prominent silver veins.

Hebe odora ‘New Zealand Gold’
Reminiscent of Box, this hardy shrub makes a superb alternative to traditional evergreens for creating a dense mound of foliage. The yellow-green stems have a tightly compact habit that naturally forms a rounded pillow, but will also tolerate clipping for a more formal appearance.
Hypericum ‘Magical Red Flame’
You rely on this recent introduction of St John?s Wort to provide plenty of interest in the garden. Golden yellow flowers with distinctive, spidery stamens are produced from May to June above the semi-evergreen foliage.
