| Atriplex hortensis Red orach |
| Red leafed, easily grown annual to enhance your salads |
|
| Centranthus ruber Red valerian |
| NOT the medicinal herb, although rather useless to humans except as a decoration for dry walls, hoverflies and bees think it is great
| 
|
|
| Cornus stolonifera Red osier Dogwood |
| Vigorous hedging shrub with Autumnal white berries and red foliage, followed by bare dark crimson stems. Sold bare rooted
| 
|
|
| Lobelia cardinalis Red Lobelia |
| Brilliant crimson flowers on this herb, ideal for edge of the pond. Our Queen Victoria is easier than the true wild form and better looking
| 
|
|
| Mentha Raripila American red |
| Reddish lvs and stalks, smells just like spearmint chewing gum, but doesn't stick to your shoes. Relatively well behaved as mints go |
|
| Origanum rotundifolium Hop-flowered marjoram |
| Particularly beautiful member of genus with large mauve flowers, fiendishly difficult under our conditions and thus only erratically available |
|
| Perilla frutescens Perilla (green or red) |
| Essential in the Chinese and Japanese kitchen, Perilla became a Victorian bedding plant and supposed meat tenderiser. Excellent today in salads, some strains have strong Cumin fragrance. Annual but may self seed |
|
| Salvia miltiorhiza Red sage |
| The very rare Chinese medicinal plant
| 
|
|
| Silene dioica Red Campion |
| Like the above, but provides a nice splash of colour |
