VISIT TO WORTLEY HALL PLANT SALE

Hi everybody. Hope you are all having a good wekend. I spent the morning doing what I like best, buying plants. The Sale was at Wortley Hall which is just on the outskirts of Sheffield, so we had a nice walk around the lawned borders and the flower borders after buying my new plants (see photos). Anyone one else go by chance?
I bought – Echinacea “Pink Delight”, Geranium “Double Jewel” (a new one with white outer petals and double lilac inner ones, very pretty), Brunnera “Mr. Morse”with lovely silver veined leaves, Dierama (Angels Fishing Rod) with white flowers, and a lovely bushy plant with acid green leaves and pale pink flowers, with closed oval petals (but unfortunately I lost the label and can’t remember its name (help anyone?).
Oh and yes, as you can see I did catch the buying Semperviums bug, there they are at bottom of picture. Think they will be going in a pot to stand on the gravelled area just being done down the side of the drive.
Looking forward to deciding where they wil go and even more to when I see the effect next year. That’s a job for tomorrow sorted.

Thank you all for the comments, and yes Andrew and Elsie that is the correct name, you have jogged my memory and the label said Chelone. I knew I could rely on the wealth of knowledge collectively on here. Thank you very much.

Me too Donnah, just planted both pink ones and the Dierama and Brunnera, just trying to decide where I want the others now. Both pink ones look very pretty and will look even better when the bush out.
