It forms a closely branched shrub up to 1.5 m tall, with deeply divided, gray-green triangular leaves that release a strong rose-lemon fragrance when bruised, and clusters of small pale purple to pink flowers with deep purple markings that bloom from summer into fall. It is one of the parent species behind many rose-scented pelargonium hybrids grown for essential oil.
Currant-leaved Pelargonium
Pelargonium ribifolium
Pelargonium ribifolium is a much-branched, evergreen shrub native to the southern Western and Eastern Cape of South Africa, where it is more common along the margins of streams and other consistently moist habitats. Reaching up to 2 m in height and around 1 m in spread, it forms an erect, woody-based shrub with softly hairy, aromatic, three-lobed leaves reminiscent of currant (Ribes) foliage - the origin of its species epithet ribifolium. Small white flowers, roughly 20 mm across and marked with red veining on the two upper petals, appear intermittently through the year with a peak flush from September to November (Southern Hemisphere spring). Unlike many of its Cape relatives that demand full baking sun, this species is notably adaptable, thriving in full sun near water as well as in partially or fully shaded understorey positions. In cultivation it makes an attractive, low-maintenance garden shrub for moist, humus-rich beds or large containers, and propagates readily from softwood or semi-ripe cuttings.

It received the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.
Arrow Arum
Peltandra
Peltandra is a genus of aquatic and wetland perennials in the arum family (Araceae), native to marshes, swamps, and pond edges of eastern North America. This profile covers the genus as a whole (most commonly represented by Peltandra virginica, green arrow arum) rather than a single species, since all members share the same emergent, bog-loving growth habit, arrow-shaped leaves, and calcium-oxalate toxicity. Grown submerged or in permanently saturated soil, Peltandra forms dense clumps of glossy, sagittate leaves topped by greenish-white spadix flowers in spring, followed by berry clusters that mature underwater.
Fountain Grass
Pennisetum setaceum
Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum) is an ornamental grass native to East Africa and the Middle East. Known for its arching foliage and feathery plumes in shades of pink to purple, it brings elegant movement and texture to gardens and landscapes. Highly drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it thrives in hot, sunny conditions with minimal care.
Foxglove Beardtongue
Penstemon digitalis
Penstemon digitalis, commonly known as foxglove beardtongue, is a perennial herbaceous plant native to eastern and central North America, belonging to the plantain family (Plantaginaceae). From its basal rosette, branched flowering stems rise 60–120 cm tall, bearing dense clusters of white, tubular, two-lipped flowers between May and July. Although its specific epithet refers to foxglove (Digitalis), the plant is not related to it and is non-toxic to humans, dogs, and cats. It is an excellent nectar source and pollinator plant, attracting bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies; it is also extremely cold-hardy (USDA zones 3a–8b) and a low-maintenance garden ornamental.
hammock viper's-tail
Pentalinon luteum
Pentalinon luteum, commonly known as hammock viper's-tail or wild allamanda, is a vigorous evergreen woody vine native to Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. It is prized for its glossy, leathery elliptical leaves and its prolific production of bright yellow, funnel-shaped flowers that resemble those of the true Allamanda. While it is a beautiful ornamental climber, it is important to note that all parts of the plant contain milky sap that can be irritating to the skin and toxic if ingested.
British yellowhead
Pentanema britannica
The British yellowhead (Pentanema britannica, formerly Inula britannica) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the Asteraceae family, native to damp habitats across Europe and temperate Asia, including riverbanks, stream edges, marshes, ditches, and wet meadows. It features erect, finely pubescent stems reaching 15-80 cm in height, topped with bright yellow sunflower-like flower heads that bloom from late summer to early autumn. Its lanceolate, entire leaves are sparsely hairy on top and more densely pubescent underneath. Due to its thick rhizomes, it spreads vigorously and rapidly, leading it to be considered an invasive weed in parts of North America.
Egyptian Star Flower
