Perfect as ground cover for woodland gardens and shady borders, Ajuga plants prefer partial shade, and are extremely low maintenance. Height: 50cm (20). Spread up to 1m (39).

There's nothing finer than a large Agapanthus in full flower at the height of summer, creating an eruption of brilliant blue. It's the perfect plant for an ornate container and with a little care will last a lifetime. Even before the 1m flower stems appear the bright green strap life leaves are a lovely sight and heighten the expectation of the blooms to come from mid summer. Agapanthus do best when their roots are restricted so don't be tempted to pot into too large a container - just a little wider than the nursery pot they arrive in will be fine. Place in a sunny spot and enjoy this African native in your garden over summer!
The UK's leading mycorrhizal planting product - as endorsed by the RHS. This special formulation is designed for acid loving (ericaceous) plamts only. The completely natural way to look after the secret root system of ericaceous plants and trees, each pouch contains hundreds of thousands of naturally occurring beneficial fungi, which help protect roots from disease, and helps take up feed more effectively. Especially beneficial to get bare root plants off to a headstart, it works well for pot grown plants too -and can be used all year long. If you are planting in pots or containers, the natural biological soil bacteria are completely absent, so incoprorating Rootgrow as you plant introduces these natural benefical bacteria, which will colonise the compost, and benefit your plants for many years to come. Similarly if you are planting in poorer soils, or planting a new garden or hedge for the first time, introducing these goodies will help quicker establishment, and better fertiliser uptake in future. Tests have shown they can increase the active root area of plants by 700 times a month after planting. This helps your plants get away quicker and better, makes them, more drought tolerant, use fertiliser more efficiently, and make them more robust. And, because they are a living, evolving community, one application lasts forever.
An absolute gem of a winter flowering plant, little seen but a really good winter garden plant, not grown widely enough. In late winter and early spring, before there's much colour about at all, even before daffodils, it produces intriguing yellow and cream flowers, lightly scented, smothered over bare stems, as flowers are produced before the leaves. It is a relative of the Daphne, sharing it's preference for cool, lightly shaded spots. Martin distinctly remembers being blown away by the first sight and smell of this plant, a large specimen on a remote Dutch Nursery, on a wet, windy and grey February afternoon, but finding much stock has been a challenge. Now we have some, it deserves a space in many gardens.
