SPECIES: Draba creativa 'Creative Director'

FORMAL NAME: Sally Seeley

COMMON NAME: 'Sally'

BACKGROUND: Potted on from Manchester Polytechnic in 1990 (2:1 BA (hons)in Educational Media Design) and flourishing in the industry hot-house ever since. Extended ground cover as freelance in 1998. Fully established as Drab in 2002.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS: Evergreen and inspiringly colourful. Neat, flexible, versatile. Flourishes in all terrains. Produces excellent on-going crop of well formed ideas. Tenacious, even in the most gritty soils.

SEASON: Thrives all year round, particularly in the most challenging environments.

IDEAL CONDITIONS: Suffolk Coast, preferably by the sea, inland also good. Delicatessens and purveyors of fine chocolate also suitable locations.

SPECIES: Drabus variegatus 'Versatile Director'

FORMAL NAME: Jeremy Seeley

COMMON NAME: '(Wotta) Jem'

BACKGROUND: Trained up a trellis of art and design, yet roots always firmly planted in the country. Grafted on to Countryside Management stock at Suffolk's Otley College, thrived as Countryside Warden and Heritage Coast Ranger with special focus on education, interpretation and events before pushing up new shoots in own garden design and landscaping business. Fully established as Drab in 2002.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS: A fully hardy, trust worthy variety; yet distinctly sketchy at times and always very crafty. Produces finely formed and often detail-perfect fruits - model specimens, in fact. Practical and tenacious in all terrains.

SEASON: A good little all rounder.

IDEAL CONDITIONS: Natural or artificially landscaped environments, but not generally one for the urban patio. Particularly suited to wooded areas. Good in seascapes. Basically flourishes anywhere where wearing a pair of binoculars instead of spectacles does not look too suspicious.

FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS: Responds well to natural ingredients. For best results ensure steady watering with tea. Liquid feed to be supplemented by oatcakes and houmus regularly. Flapjack also a possibility.
