It's not surprising that this Hardy Geranium is so popular as it is a great garden performer with masses of flowers of deep lavender-blue from late spring right through to August. It grows happily in shade or sun, and will roam through a woodland garden or create dense summer ground cover at the front of the border. It is easy to grow, vigorous and not fussy. The Royal Horticultural Society recognises the good qualities of this Cranesbill with the Award of Garden Merit. Height: 45cm (18). Spread: 60cm (24).

The firm, medium to large, light blue berries of Blueberry 'Duke' have a mildly sweet flavour and retain their fresh quality longer than most varieties. 'Duke' blooms late, which protects the blossoms from the spring frost, but the berries then ripen early. The bushes are upright-growing, but the branches will droop to the ground when laden with fruit, often yielding over 20lbs per bush when mature. Supplied in 9cm pots.
Combining all the features of a traditional Buddleia, this exciting breakthrough in the plant industry has meant that you can now grow a Butterfly Bush without the worry of it growing too invasive.

Expect masses of fragrant blooms from June to October, with a big attraction to butterflies and other pollinating insects. What more could you ask for, especially as this hardy deciduous shrub is fuss-free and easy to grow. Height and spread: 60cm (24?).
Lavender-like purple-blue flowers are borne on silvery stems from late summer, above narrow, aromatic, silvery-green foliage.

Height: 50cm (20?). Spread: 60cm (24?).
As a strong structual element in the garden, this upright Chinese Juniper with its steely blue, prickly foliage is a real winner.

Height: 4m (12?). Spread: 3m (10?).
