# denotes name of plant which, to the best of our knowledge, is new to cultivation in the period 2001/2002 or which has not been offered before commercially under any other valid name.  

*  means that seed may be available.

+  denotes species beneficial to butterflies and/or moths.  Please note double-flowered forms are of little or no benefit as they lack nectar.

A large number of the plants listed are of native provenance and many are local.
