Tasty and sweet variety of colourful red cabbage, with dense, solid, crunchy hearts. Try them raw or cooked or even grow for pickling. Ideal for storing over winter. Height: 40cm (16). Spread: 60cm (24).

Honeysuckle japonica 'Halliana' is a popular climber for its white and buttery yellow blooms from late spring into summer. The tubular flowers produce a sweet and irresistable perfume that lingers on the summer breeze. The rich, green foliage remains semi-evergreen in sheltered areas, providing a show of winter greenery.
From midsummer to early autumn, the aptly named Butterfly Bush produces white, pollen-rich flowers, which attract butterflies as well as other pollinating insects. These blooms are attractive to humans, too, for they give off a subtle, sweet smell, making the hardy shrub popular in scented gardens. Buddleja davidii 'White Ball' also boasts compact foliage with silver leaves, which look particularly elegant when placed in a sunny border alongside plants with green or purple foliage. It is therefore an appropriate choice for cottage gardens and mixed patio containers, even in dry areas, for Buddleias are drought-tolerant. Height: 2m (6'5). Spread: 2m (6'5).
Masses of charming tubular pink flowers crowd the stem tips of Escallonia laevis 'Pink Elle' from early summer onwards. Perfect for borders or even for creating an ornamental hedge too! A low maintenance shrub that will give huge rewards for very little effort!
