Origanums are lovely

A legume for fertility and the bees

Meadows or gravel gardens

Likes it hot and dry and lime preferred

Phygelius capensis early cuttings contrasting with the blue-tinted leavesCape figwort. A vigorous semi evergreen small shrub from South Africa, (fully hardy here in Canterbury) with triangular ovate leaves to 8cm in length. Nodding, tubular, bright orange red flowers normally but this variety has lovely apricot peach tones, 3cm in length in large open terminal panicles. Slowly growing for me in a border, reaching 1 1. 5m high and the same width. Can trim.
