The plants in the list I either grow in my own garden, or they are plants
that I've come to know from other gardens and particularly like.

For the plants I grow myself, almost all of them, with few exceptions,
are dual-purpose - this means that they are attractive to humans
while also providing food and/or shelter to wildlife.

 

Linum grandiflorum

Linum grandiflorum

 

 

Some plants in the list have 'W' next to the name. This means that they
were photographed at Westshores Nurseries in Winterton in North Lincolnshire
- www.westshores.co.uk.

Westshores is well known for its wide range of ornamental grasses and also has
a good selection of herbaceous perennials. They also do mail order.
