How to

A superb architectural specimen, Italian cypress 'Stricta' is well known for its use in formal Mediterranean gardens to add depth and structure. The tall columns can be used to break up a flat eye line in any scheme however and shouldn't be restricted to 'Italian' themed gardens. It can also be grown in large containers on a patio or flanking an entrance to add impact.

Best described as the smaller relative of the widely known Photinia fraseri 'Red Robin', this more compact variety has all of the colour and impact of its larger cousin, without taking up as much space! Photinia fraseri 'Little Red Robin' still displays bright red leaves when they first develop which then mature to dark green, and the creamy white flowers in spring show up well against this foliage.

Erigeron karvinskianus 'Sea of Blossom' is a fabulous colour changing perennial that will light up your garden throughout the summer and autumn. Perfect for planting in pots and containers, or along your garden borders and pathways. 'Sea of Blossom' is also a must have if you are looking to encourage more wildlife into your garden this summer.
