Peonies are a classic cottage garden plant that will last a lifetime in the garden, getting bigger and better with age. Producing exquisite, fragrant blooms, they will make a beautiful feature in borders and are superb for cutting too.

Introducing the new Tabletensia range of miniature (and we mean, miniature!) hydrangeas. Reaching just 25-40cm in height and 40cm across, these exceptional plants are small enough not just for containers but even hanging baskets.

The native Galanthus nivalis snowdrops signal winter’s end with an understated elegance. They love to shelter in dappled shade at the base of trees and shrubs, but are equally at home in an alpine garden or naturalised in grass.

These flamboyant Oriental poppies will light up your borders in late spring and early summer. They thrive in full sun and are happy in poor, dry soil. Clump-forming perennials, they create neat rosettes of deeply-cut leaves covered with coarse hairs, bringing texture to borders before the blooms appear.
