Description

Star-like flowers sit like a haze above a bed of straight stems, gathering in clusters on these easy-to-grow and no fuss perennials - perfect solutions for impressive flowering might!

Peachy pink outstretched tubes with darker eyes decorate strappy stemmed foliage from as early as April, a welcome zap of colour before many other summer-flowering bloomers have time to emerge.

What’s more, if you crush the foliage by hand, it will release an encapsulating onion-like aroma, bringing an extra dimension of pleasure to the summer garden. The flowers are even attractive to pollinators.

So versatile, ‘Purple Eye’ grasp the attention whether in free-draining borders or patio pots. The blooms even look exceptional when snipped and included in a fresh cut flower display for the mantlepiece or windowsill.

Fully deserving the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure these are proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant these in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Supplied as a set of three established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting.

Top Tips
Water 'Purple Eye' freely while actively growing, but try to keep it almost completely dry when it falls dormant for winter.
Care Information
  • Dig a planting hole three times the width of the roots you're planting and mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill once in place.
  • We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.
  • Before planting, soak container-grown plants thoroughly and allow them to drain.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots. Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.
  • Place in the hole at the same level as it was in the supplied nursery pot and refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
  • Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.
  • Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.
  • If you're planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast.
  • Use the best compost you can buy and some sand or grit for drainage.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
