Idesia polycarpa

A rarely encountered but highly ornamental medium sized deciduous tree from the Orient. Spreading branches clothed in fine, large, red stalked, heart-shaped foliage, glaucous beneath, and dangling bunches of bright red pea-like fruit on females in autumn. Male flowers are pinky-brown in pendant racemes and sweetly scented. Suitable for any good soil.

Ilex perado subsp. azorica

A rare member of the I. perado group, endemic to the Azores, where seed for these plants was recently collected. A holly for a relatively sheltered position, with rounded, fairly flattened thick textured foliage with no or very few teeth apparently, but these young plants have attractive undulate leaf margins with teeth! Large red fruit in autumn/winter.

Illicium 'Woodland Ruby'

A cross between a white flowered form of I. floridanum and I. floridanum mexicanum, with larger flowers than either, in red-pink, borne in spring over evergreen leathery foliage. A medium sized shrub with all parts emitting a pleasing fragrance when crushed (well, I like it). Best in not over limy soil, a fairly sheltered spot and not too dry, in semi-shade.

Illicium henryi

A rare medium sized shrub from W China closely related to Japanese Anise. Thick evergreen leaves and lovely little rounded, saucer-like, bright rose flowers in May/June. At its best in good soil, not desperately limy, in semi shade.

Illicium simonsii

A superb relatively new introduction from China, forming a dense upright, evergreen, pyramidal shrub to about 2m or more with creamy yellow flowers, each up to 3.5cm across, in early spring. Good in sun or semi-shade and perfectly hardy in cultivation since its introduction in the 90's. Arguably the finest of the genus in cultivation. Not for very limy soil.

Indigofera hancockii (new)

A new species to cultivation in the UK, making a deciduous shrub up to 1.8m high, clothed in pretty pinnate foliage and bearing upright racemes of purple-pink pea flowers in summer. For a sunny site in well drained soil. This hails from high altitude in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, China.

Indigofera himalayensis Yu 10941

A very pretty little shrub from the W. Himalaya and apparently the earliest of the Indigofera to flower in the UK, opening its clear, bright pink pea flowers on short, erect racemes over the delicate bright green pinnate foliage in early summer. A hardy, previously unavailable, deciduous small shrub for a sunny site. This is wild source material.

Indigofera howellii (syn. subverticillata)

A superb new species from China. Long racemes of vivid, warm-pink flowers project semi-horizontally from the typical attractive pinnate foliage over a long period in summer and autumn. Hardy in sun and well drained soil, being nipped back only lightly by the very coldest winters. Approx 2m high, though can be pruned to the ground each year if desired.

Indigofera kirilowii

A rarely seen small shrub with beautiful pinnate foliage and comparatively large bright, almond-pink flowers in dense racemes during summer. Plant in full sun. Drought tolerant. Normally hardy but if cut back by frost in cold areas, will spring back from the base and flower that summer.

Indigofera pendula

An absolute gem of a plant, recently re-introduced from China, this tall growing species flowers for months during summer. Beautiful very, very long, pendant racemes of pink pea flowers, on close inspection really lilac-grey and deep carmine. Rare and worth every effort to grow. Re-shoots strongly from the base if cut back hard. Full sun and well drained soil.

Iochroma australe

This South American member of the potato family forms a free growing woody shrub to perhaps 2m tall, with softly hairy leaves and pendulous, funnel shaped, lilac-blue flowers, dangling along the undersides of the branches in late summer. This is most suited to a protected position, ideally a west wall or suchlike, but has shown remarkable tolerance to cold.

Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet' (new)

A hardy, small, deciduous shrub from the Eastern USA, producing erect, cylindrical racemes of scented creamy-white flowers in July. This form is renowned for its excellent, rich red-purple autumn colour. Not for thin limey soils.
