A very stately perennial with big, dark yellow blooms and a massive amount of foliage. The flower spikes grow very tall and make a good show in early autumn. We use it as a summer screen. The plant is much loved by slugs.

This plant makes a dense mat of foliage and must be kept well away from more tender neighbours as it just grows over them and smother them. The blooms are very big for such a small plant, about 6 cm/2,3 inches across.

A lovely, stately perennial that's good for summer screening/hedging. It needs to be planted away from the strong midday sun because the leaves collapse with too much heat. The plant is a big slug magnet.

Pinch off the dead flower spikes after blooming to give it a tidier look. The roe dear might munch on it if there's nothing more tempting in the vicinity.

The fun thing about autumn-flowering colchicums is that the foliage and the seed pods come out in spring and die back again during summer. That's why they are also called "Filius ante Patrem" - the child before the father.

A lily from the Tango-series. The Tango-lilies all look like their centers are spray-painted in a contrasting colour.
