This tough coastal shrub flowers almost all year and is extremely tolerant of drought.

Free-flowering Scabiosa give a soft, country garden effect. They're particularly pretty in mass plantings. Dead-head between flowerings and they'll re-flower again quickly.

Lobelias are lovely. This hybrid comes from Israeli breeders 'Danziger'. Ideal for bedding, as a colourful pot plant or in hanging baskets in sun or semi-shade. The dark blue flowers have a bright, contrasting white 'eye' that is particularly striking.
