Buddleja davidii Moonshine
Butterfly Bush
Common Name: Butterfly Bush Latin Name: Buddleja davidii ‘Moonshine’ Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil Position: Full sun Flowering period/colour: June - September/ Purple Hardiness: Fully hardy Eventual height/spread: 1.5m/0.9m Special features: Bright green foliage and long-lasting flowers. This Buddleja is different to most of its kind as it boasts bright lime green-yellow foliage, which really catches your eye, and is the perfect accent colour for planting next to other Buddlejas that have darker leaves. From June to September the leaves are accompanied by a profuse floral display of deep purple flowers that are held in conical clusters. The flowers carry a sweet scent, which makes them very attractive to bees and butterflies; this also makes the ‘Moonshine’ a great choice for a sensory garden. This shrub grows to have a fairly upright habit and it works well in a sunny bed or border. We love alternating it with the darker Buddleja davidii ‘Adonis Blue Adokeep’ as the accenting colours of the two plants work really well together.

Lesser Periwinkle
Common Name: Lesser Periwinkle Latin Name: Vinca minor 'Illumination' Soil: Fertile, well-drained soilPosition: Full sun, partial shade, full shade.Flowering period/colour: April to September/ VioletHardiness: Fully hardyEventual height/spread: 0.4m/1mSpecial features: A vibrant evergreen shrub with long-lasting flowers.The ‘Illumination’ is aptly named as the glowing foliage is perfect for brightening up a bed in your garden. This creeping plant spreads outwards and covers the ground and as this is an evergreen shrub it adds a vibrant burst of colour all year round. The glowing golden green leaves are ovate with dark green variegated margins and these make the perfect colourful foil for the long-lasting flowers. From April to September the delicate deep violet-blue flowers are nestled amongst the leaves and the flowers are popular with pollinating insects. Due to the trailing habit of this shrub, you can use it in hanging baskets or to creep down a slope or over the edge of a wall.
