Abutilon 'Ines'
A new Pan-Global' intro from the USA, making a small to medium shrub, about 1.5m high and wide. Flowers are a lovely combo of soft yellowish-cream petals, backed by dusky, brick-red calyces, and are seen throughout summer. One of the hardiest varieties, though best sited sensibly for most of us, preferably with wall shelter. A hybrid of A. megapotamicum.

Abutilon 'Orange Hot Lava'
A new intro from the USA, this is a superb A. megapotamicum hybrid forming a compact multistemmed plant approx' 1m or more high. A mass of orange bells, net-veined in red and with a prominent brick-red calyx, are produced over a long period from July until frosts. Hardy with the shelter of a warm wall.

Abutilon 'Patrick Synge'
A vigorous hybrid potentially reaching about 3m on a sheltered wall. Attractive green foliage provides a good backing to the sumptuously coloured, dangling, party dress shaped flowers; seen over a long period. Petals are a glowing red-orange with a deep purple-red interior, backed by a soft, matt, red-brown calyx. Survived Jan 09 outside here!

Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea'
Unique and highly ornamental large shrub or small tree for a very sheltered site in full sun. Bright blue-green leaves with new growth deep plum-purple through the growing season. Golden yellow 'Mimosa' flowers in early spring. Easy in a pot, can be hard pruned every year. Takes a fair amount of frost, though is best sited sensibly. My best selling plant by far.

Acacia boormanii
Snowy River Wattle. A most lovely species and fairly hardy too. Foliage on this one is a feathery mass of very, very narrow linear grey-green leaves (phyllodes). Makes a large shrub, covered in panicles of scented, lemon-yellow mimosa flowers in early spring. Worthy of a sheltered location. Very rarely offered in the UK.

Acacia caven
An obscure, fast growing little tree from the drier areas of various S. American countries. The evergreen to semi-deciduous bipinnate foliage is extremely fine and feathery and a mass of deep yellow, highly fragrant flowers are produced in spring. I've seen this is in Chile in semi-arid conditions, though a tree at Kew grew well for years outside the old Alpine house.

Acacia dealbata 'Gaulois Astier'
A form of the species selected by the southern French 'Mimosa' cut flower industry for its particularly good bunches of scented sulphur-yellow flowers. The leaves are much greener and with more substantial leaflets than the var. subalpina. In most areas of the UK this would be best planted in a sheltered position, backed by a wall, where it'll bloom late winter.

Acacia dealbata var. subalpina
The hardiest form of true mimosa collected at high altitude. A vigorous, evergreen small tree to be tried in a sheltered spot, covered in clouds of bright yellow, scented flowers in late winter. Beautiful ferny, grey-green foliage. Can be hard pruned, coppiced or pollarded. Will often sprout from the base if cut back by a very hard winter.

Acacia pravissima
One of the hardiest Acacias, usually best in a sunny sheltered spot. A large evergreen shrub with arching growth and distinctive triangular foliage, covered in bright yellow, fragrant 'mimosa' flowers in very early spring. Very vigorous, like most Acacia. I grew this successfully in a high Cotswold garden against a SW wall.

Acca sellowiana
The Pineapple guava from Brazil and Uruguay makes a large evergreen shrub, best suited to a sunny wall, with grey-green leaves, white-hairy beneath. Thick textured exotic looking flowers are composed of crimson and white petals and a central boss of long crimson stamens. After long hot summers large egg shaped fruit are borne. Both petals and fruit are delicious.

Acer 'White Tigress'
A superb new Snakebark Maple hybrid from the USA making a bushy little tree with highly ornamental blue-green and white striated bark and big, 5 lobed leaves, turning yellow in autumn when the fruits hang in large red-stalked clusters. Sun or semi-shade in any ordinary soil.

Acer capillipes 'Gimborn'
A selection or possibly hybrid of this excellent Snakebark maple. The leaves are exceptionally broad for the species, up to 12cm across, with 5 shallow lobes, turning golden yellow in autumn. Very beautifully and clearly striped green and white bark on a fast growing medium sized tree with an arching, spreading, graceful branch formation. Hardy, easy.

Acer davidii 'Karmen'
This comparatively new form of snake-bark maple was selected in Holland for its new foliage, which surprisingly emerges a glistening chocolate-brown in spring, later turning reddish-green, then yellow or orange in autumn. The mature leaves are narrowly oblong, and the bark is conspicuously striped white. A fast growing, small to medium, open branched tree.

Acer davidii 'Serpentine'
Another snake-bark maple, this time a very pretty diminutive form making a densely branched large shrub or small tree. The foliage is small and elegant, turning to yellow or orange in autumn, and the bark is superb, purplish-green with conspicuous white striping. Suitable for any reasonable soil

Acer elegantulum
This Chinese species was only introduced about 1990 and is as yet very rarely seen in the West. It makes a small tree with, as the name suggests, rather lovely foliage, emerging light purple, becoming green later. The leaves are deeply lobed, looking similar to some forms of A. campbellii. Hardy throughout much of the UK.

Acer griseum
The Paper Bark Maple is one of the most attractive of all small trees with a very long season of interest. Very beautiful cinnamon-orange bark peeling off in thin papery pieces, and fine, yellow orange and red autumn colour are its principal attractions. Very tolerant and easy even on thin chalky soils. Not fast but lovely even when small.

Acer grosseri var. hersii
A 'snakebark' maple with wonderfully marbled green and white bark, making a small tree with rich autumn colour of yellow/orange/red, and conspicuous, long racemes of winged seeds. Any ordinary soil.

Acer japonicum 'Aconitifolium'
A form of this bushy small tree with deeply dissected foliage turning a rich ruby-crimson in autumn. Delicate drooping clusters of red flowers with yellow anthers appear with the leaves in spring. Any fairly good soil in a not too exposed place.

Acer japonicum 'Vitifolium'
A bold leaved selection of this Japanese maple. Very handsome vine like foliage colours brilliantly in autumn turning red orange or yellow. Makes a hardy, bushy, small tree with attractive drooping clusters of purplish red flowers with yellow anthers appearing with the leaves in spring. Any fairly good soil in a not too exposed place

Acer morifolium
This snakebark maple from Southern Japan is still very new to cultivation and very rarely seen. Near here it has made a very vigorous, round headed small tree with striated bark and rather richly red tinted new growth. Autumn colour should be yellow.
