'Bush's Electra'<br />

Catalogue 2012 Page 14<br />

Magnificent perennial forming an exotic-looking clump of broad,<br />

upright sheaf-like leaves from which appear spikes of yellow<br />

flowers emerging from purple bracts. Quite striking in flower. 2<br />

ft. Warm sheltered spot.<br />

Fast growing bushy plants, excelling in dry soil and full sun and<br />

happy by the sea. Inland they should be grown against a wall.<br />

The following are all evergreen.<br />

Dark evergreen toothed leaves on ground hugging stems. Forms a<br />

mat 6ft across but only a few inches high. Blue flower clusters in<br />

spring.<br />

Vigorous mound-forming plant covered in Cambridge-blue<br />

flowers in June. 3ft high by 6ft spread .<br />

Noble trees form a massive trunk with upswept branches and a<br />

flat topped canopy, magnificent on the largest scale. For several<br />

decades they make excellent garden plants.<br />

Silver blue needles and a feathery soft outline makes this Cedar a<br />

beautiful tree already when young. As it matures it becomes<br />

evermore sculptural, with some branches sweeping to the ground.<br />

Grows to 4m in 10 years. Fertile and well drained soil.<br />

Beautiful weeping tree. Initially requires training upwards then<br />

branches may be allowed to arch out from, from which curtains<br />

of glaucous blue branchlets will trail to the ground. Old<br />

specimens often cover large areas.<br />

This tree is much revered in India and Pakistan, where it is the<br />

national tree. Its soft long glaucous needles and drooping leader<br />

makes it instantly recognisable. Eventually a very large tree, it<br />

makes 5m in 10 years.<br />

branches and a semi-dwarf habit makes this an excellent choice<br />

where an accent tree is wished for. Eventual height 10-12m.<br />
