Nardophyllum bryoides         sold out

(Patagonia) This is an interesting, perhaps under-rated, small shrub. Tiny, felted silvery-white leaves, on stiff sparsely branched silvery stems make a compact mound which is studded, in April/May, with numerous small, yellowish flowers.

 NEPETA govaniana         2ltr...£3.25

Soft green, crinkled leaves on this herbaceous perennial; happy in the part-shade of dappled woodland-type conditions and moist soil. Pouched, pale yellow flowers in loose panicles atop eighteen-inch, creeping stems.

 Nepeta phylloclamys          9cm...£2.75

Stunning silver-blue, slightly woolly, pebbled leaves form a dense, gently spreading mat topped, in early summer, with delicate pink, fiddle-shaped flowers.

---

Nerine 'Afterglow'        9cm...£4.50

( N.sarniensis x N.bowdenii ) Probably not completely hardy up here in the wilds of Lancashire...but getting there thanks to the N.bowdenii influence. Rounded heads of typical tubular flowers but with a definate dusky orange tinge.

Nertera depressa          9cm...£3.00

(F&W 9274) This collection has certainly proved perfectly hardy, making a small congested sub-shrub with elliptical, grey-green leaves and, in time, curious and startling bright orange berries.

Lovely woodland bulb with spikes of nodding, flared, purple-blue flowers. A delight.
