Hacquetia epipactis ‘Thor’This choice woodlander has variegated foliage and yellow-green flower heads in late winter and early spring. Very slow growing. Humus-rich moisture retentive soil.
Hakonechloa macra ‘Aureola’A magnificent perennial grass with year round interest. Starting in spring the new shoots are brilliant yellow, aging to a pleasant variegated green and creamy-yellow and again changing colour in autumn to a buttery-beige often suffused with pinks and clarets. Planted in a border or individually in containers, it exhibits its best summer colours when sited in light shade and given shelter from cold drying winds. 60cm (2ft).
Helenium ‘Moerheim Beauty’Probably the most famous of all the heleniums. This excellent early flowering variety makes good clumps of tidy green foliage above which are held deep coppery, red-orange flowers with a rich mahogany centre; aging to a rich but warm brown. 90cm (3ft).
Helenium ‘Sahin’s Early Flowerer’Starting into bloom a month earlier than other varieties, each bloom is a mixture of yellow, deep orange and peach streaks, which age to a deeper orange-red, creating a multicoloured effect on the whole plant. 90cm (3ft) high.
HelianthemumWe grow a good selection of this most useful low growing shrubby plant, the Rock Rose. Peach, pink, yellow, and cream flowers are amongst the ones we grow. Any sunny, well drained site. Remember to give them a ‘good hair cut’ straight after flowering – this will keep them compact and stop them getting straggly.
Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' AGM.A really superb perennial Sunflower, bearing masses of pale yellow flowers in late summer and autumn. Grows in most soil types, full sun will ensure strong, upright stems. 1.8m (6ft).
Helianthus ‘Soleil d’Or’A first rate perennial sunflower with extremely double flowers that look like big cadmium-yellow pom-poms. 1.5m (5ft).
Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra ‘Summer Nights’Warm orange flowers on wavering stems of tinted foliage. 60-90cm (2-3ft) high.
Hordeum jubatumAn annual grass, well worthy of a garden place. 12"/30cm or so in height, shimmering and waving heads reflect the light and colours around. Self seeds freely.
