Chrysanthemums are popular border plants, adding valuable colour in late summer and autumn.
However, these vigorous and free-flowering plants tend to wear themselves out quite quickly. The oldest part of the plant, in the centre of the clump, becomes weaker and the stems flop, while the outer shoots remain thick and healthy.

Save on a bare-root collection of 12 agapanthus, six each of 'Queen of the Ocean' and 'Polar Ice'. Large spherical blooms stand proudly on sturdy stems, and are popular with bees and butterflies.
These fragrant spring favourites are a native British treasure. Ideal for planting in woodland locations or shady positions under trees, intense indigo-blue flowers burst into life in April and May each year.
Hardy perennial salvia 'Purple Rain' blooms throughout the summer months. Whorls of purple flowers adorn the gently arching stems above a mound of soft, green foliage.
