Deschampsia cespitosa
A native grass that forms hairy mounds of dark-green foliage. Flowers are cloud-like and the plant works in sun or semi-shade. It colours beautifully as the season moves on, with both flower and leaves turning a soft beige. It works really well with herbaceous planting, and does like a little moisture in summer to look its best. Height x spread 1.2m x 75cm
Hydrangea quercifolia
A striking plant that has become a bit of a go-to. It’s rounded in form and carries large oak-shaped leaves that turn a deep, rich red. I 1.5m x 2m
