Primrose

A fountain of metallic blue foliage. Position: full sun Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained soil Rate of Growth: average Flowering period: August and September Hardiness: fully hardy This deciduous ornamental grass is renowned for its steely coloured foliage, which forms a stiff, upright clump. The pink flowers, which appear in late summer and early autumn, add an airy elegance, and tone beautifully with the grey/blue to purple/blue foliage (which turns a soft yellow in autumn before dying back). 'Heavy Metal' is perfect for providing vertical interest in a naturalised setting, and it's a sought-after addition to 'new perennial' planting schemes. Garden care: Cut it back when it starts to look tatty, and lift and divide congested colonies between mid-spring and summer.
