Ipomoea lobata
Exotic Love is a spectacular fast-growing climber producing masses of unusual cascading flowers that change colour as they mature. The slender blooms emerge rich crimson before progressing through orange and yellow to creamy white, creating a striking multi-coloured effect along each flower spike.
Also known as Spanish Flag, this vigorous ornamental vine is ideal for growing over trellises, fences, arches and pergolas, where the colourful flowers create an impressive display throughout the warmer months. The long flowering stems can also be used as an unusual addition to cut flower arrangements.
A tender perennial in warm climates and generally grown as an annual in cooler regions, Exotic Love thrives in warm conditions, full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Provide a sturdy climbing structure from an early stage.

Cryptotaenia japonica
Mitsuba is a traditional Japanese herb and leafy green valued for its delicate flavour, attractive foliage and versatility in the kitchen. Often described as having notes of parsley, celery and angelica, it is widely used fresh in salads, soups, stews and noodle dishes throughout Japan.
The tender leaves and stems are harvested young for their mild aromatic flavour, while the stems can be blanched to produce a sweeter, more delicate vegetable. Plants form attractive clumps and can reach up to 90 cm in height when mature, making Mitsuba both an ornamental and edible addition to the garden.
A cool-season crop, Mitsuba grows best during spring and autumn and prefers consistent moisture and some protection from intense summer heat. Once established, it provides a steady supply of fresh leaves for harvesting over an extended period.

Leonurus cardiaca
Motherwort, often called the “mother’s herb”, is a hardy herbaceous perennial belonging to the mint family (Lamiaceae). Its botanical name reflects its long traditional association with both courage and the heart: Leonurus translates roughly to “lion-tailed”, while cardiaca means “of the heart”. Native to Europe but now naturalised across much of the world, Motherwort is a resilient plant that readily colonises disturbed ground and can become invasive in favourable conditions.
Growing to around 1 m tall, it produces distinctive square stems, deeply lobed leaves and whorls of soft mauve to pale pink flowers that attract bees and other beneficial insects throughout summer. Motherwort thrives in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade and, once established, requires very little maintenance.
Traditionally, Motherwort has been highly regarded in Western herbal medicine as a tonic herb for the nervous and cardiovascular systems. It contains the phytochemical leonurine and has historically been used to support emotional wellbeing, calm a racing heart and mind, and promote a sense of ease during times of stress. The aerial parts of the plant are harvested and used in herbal preparations. Individuals taking heart or thyroid medications should seek advice from a qualified healthcare practitioner before using Motherwort medicinally.

Planting / Sowing
Motherwort benefits from cold stratification to improve germination. Refrigerate seed for 2–4 weeks before sowing, or sow outdoors during cooler weather. Sow seed on the surface or cover lightly with 2–3 mm of seed-raising mix and keep evenly moist. Transplant seedlings into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, spacing plants 45–60 cm apart. Once established, plants are hardy, drought tolerant and generally require little attention.

Atriplex hortensis
Purple Orach, also known as Mountain Spinach, is an ancient leafy vegetable grown for its striking deep burgundy-purple foliage. The tender young leaves have a mild, spinach-like flavour and are delicious fresh in salads, harvested as baby leaves or microgreens, or lightly cooked like spinach. Heat tolerant and slower to bolt than true spinach, Purple Orach provides a colourful and productive harvest throughout the warmer months while adding ornamental appeal to the vegetable garden.

Artemisia vulgaris
Mugwort is a hardy, aromatic perennial herb valued for its silvery-green foliage, resilience and long history of traditional use. Growing up to 1.5 m tall, it forms vigorous clumps that thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, although it will also tolerate partial shade and poorer soils. Its deeply divided leaves release a distinctive herbal fragrance when crushed, and the plant is highly regarded for its ability to attract beneficial insects while helping repel a range of garden pests.
Traditionally, Mugwort has been used in herbal medicine to support digestion, ease menstrual discomfort and promote relaxation. It has also been employed in culinary, ceremonial and practical applications throughout Europe and Asia. Once established, Mugwort is drought tolerant and requires little maintenance, making it well suited to herb gardens, cottage gardens and naturalistic plantings.
Mugwort spreads readily by both seed and underground rhizomes and can become invasive if left unmanaged. For this reason, many gardeners prefer to grow it in containers or regularly divide plants to keep growth under control.

Surface sow seed onto moist soil or seed-raising mix, as light assists germination. Do not cover seed. Keep evenly moist and allow 20 days or more for germination. Transplant seedlings into a sunny or partly shaded position with well-drained soil, spacing plants approximately 60 cm apart. Once established, Mugwort is drought tolerant and requires minimal care. Monitor its spread or grow in containers to prevent it from overtaking nearby plants.

Verbascum phoeniceum
Purple Mullein 'Violetta' is a striking ornamental perennial grown for its elegant spikes of rich, deep purple flowers that rise above attractive green foliage. Reaching approximately 60 cm in height, it provides a long-lasting display from late spring through summer and makes an excellent addition to cottage gardens, pollinator plantings and cut flower gardens. The vibrant blooms are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects.
Native to parts of Europe, including the United Kingdom, this drought-tolerant species thrives in sunny positions and well-drained soils. Unlike the towering common mullein, Verbascum phoeniceum forms a more compact clump, making it well suited to garden borders and smaller spaces. The flowers are excellent for cutting and add height and colour to floral arrangements.
Traditionally, species within the Verbascum genus have been valued in herbal medicine, and Violetta is noted for naturally occurring compounds with antimicrobial properties. Today it is primarily cultivated as an attractive ornamental and pollinator plant.
