This plant has really dramatic foliage: huge, circular, slightly scalloped leaves are held aloft like table tops. These can reach up to 90cm across. In mid-summer tall spikes of creamy-white flowers rise above the leaves. It's a really good plant for a water's edge or other wettish areas.

This grass-like, evergreen perennial produces masses of white flowers from early to mid-summer. These blooms may be dried for long-lasting indoor displays. The plants are slow spreading and form loose clumps of flat, dark green leaves. An excellent ornamental grass that makes a good groundcover in shady areas. Unlike other luzulas, this species can tolerate full sun although it needs moist soil.

All heucheras make attractive foliage plants and while this variety doesn't have the bright foliage of other heuchera varieties, it still makes an attractive groundcover plant, with its rounded leaves which feature crinkled edges. It suits being planted at the front of a border or combined with spikier plants to provide a contrasting shape, grasses for instance. In mid-summer spires of delicate, creamy-white flowers appear, as its name suggests.

Foxglove is a common favourite, and 'Albiflora' is no exception. This cultivar produces elegant spires of white tubular flowers in June, which are enjoyed by bees throughout the summer. For the best displays, it should be grown annually from seed. Sow in late spring where you want it to flower for blooms the following year. It will grow in virtually any soil as long as it is not very wet or very dry. All parts of the plant cause severe discomfort if ingested. Use gloves when handling the plant as the foliage can irritate the skin.

Rodgersias are striking plants for a damp border in light shade. Most large, summer-flowering plants for a damp soil need full sun. This variety has good foliage with large, deep green, textured leaves that have a distinctive pinkish-bronze colouring when young. In mid-summer, tall pyramidal plumes of feathery pink flowers are held well above the foliage. The plants are useful for growing towards the back of a moist border or behind a pond, where they are partly shaded by other tall plants. The Royal Horticltural Society have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM), in recognition of its outstanding excellence.
