Alyssum maritima procumbens Aphrodite Improved Mixed

The much improved Aphrodite selection of this highly versatile plant features uniform, compact plants which carry a profusion of striking blooms over an exceptionally long period in summer. Especially useful in containers.

Height: 8-10cm (3-4in)

Alyssum maritima procumbens Avalanche

For a sweetly scented carpet of snow white flowers, we don't think you'll do better than choose Avalanche. A selection which is vigorous and uniform, starting to flower extra early and continuing throughout the season. Easy to grow and a must for beds, borders and the rockery. Flower summer. Height 6cm (2.5in).

Alyssum maritima procumbens Trailing Rosy-Red

Compactness is out of favour with this variety. The habit is much more trailing than other alyssum making it an excellent variety tor hanging baskets, window boxes, cascading out of pots and containers and of course bedding, borders and rockeries where it spreads happily to form an excellent, lightly scented cerise carpet. Flowers summer. Height: 10-15cm (3-4in).

Anagallis monelli

Intense blue flowers up to ¾in, produced in great profusion and in an endless procession from late spring to frosts. Its habit of producing a large number of base stems gives a neat, compact form of bedding. However, the stems are suitably springy and become pendulous in hanging baskets and other containers.

Antirrhinum pendula multiflora Chinese Lanterns F1

Trailing. A breeding triumph: cascading Antirrhinums! In a mixture of seven colours, including pure colours and bicolours, the "Snapdragon" flowers are borne on self branching, vigorous plants. Ideally made for hanging baskets, containers and window boxes.

Asarina antirrhiniflora Mixed

The very pretty 2.5cm (1in) long snapdragons that will thrive in sun or shade. The "Climbing Snapdragon" comes in shades of red, pink, violet and blue, with speckled creamy lips. This attractive quick-growing half-hardy annual will twine itself around trellises, or creep down from pots. The pale green foliage gives a soft foil for the dainty flowers. Also useful for pots or hanging baskets, flowering from early summer to late winter if protected from frost. Grows to 120-180cm (4-6ft).

Asarina purpusii Victoria Falls

Vibrant cerise-purple antirrhinum-like flowers, clasped in lime-green bracts, cascade from delicately arching stems, that grow to 45cm (18in). This half-hardy perennial will flower from early May until cut back by frost. Non-climbing, use in baskets, containers, and window boxes.
