An exceptionally robust variety, ‘Green Twister’ will flower up until the first autumn frosts, carries its flowers on long, straight stems which makes them ideal for cutting.
A collection of three unusual and very pretty salvias, the ’Lips’ series look incredible in a patio pot or in a sunny border! Their bright, two-tone flowers will light up your garden from early summer to the first frosts in October.
Very rewarding, ’Lady in Red’ bursts into life in early summer with arching green to dark purple blades. Then, from late summer, the leaves ignite with deep ruby red tones, for autumn drama when other plants are fading.

This is the first bush cherry, as opposed to a tree, so forms a nice neat clump of many fruiting branches right from the base - and as a result does not get too tall, and makes picking really easy - as well as netting from pesky birds.
Marvellous flower-heads with uniquely shaded petals grow in abundance from the healthy plants of Geum ‘Orange Pumpkin’. These provide a show of double ruffled pom-poms all summer long, in an orange shade that almost makes them too hot to handle!
