Also known as the 'Fuji Cherry', this gorgeous, compact tree will burst into flower before the leaves appear in late winter/early spring each and every year! They start as red buds which appear to almost dance around the branches, but then open to reveal beautiful pale-pink flowers, each with a red centre. Perfect for small garden or growing in a pot on your patio, Kojo-No-Mai even provides autumn interest when its green leaves turn from green to bright reddish / orange before falling. The statuesque form of the tree is also a joy to observe on frosty mornings when a haw-frost shows it off to its very best. Now available in eye-catching 'standard' form, this beautiful spring wonder has been skilfully crafted into a lollipop shape with a tall, clear stem and ball of foliage and flower at the top. This is a really unique and exciting way to bring colour and life into your garden. Perfect for growing in pots and containers on the patio, because of its standard form it will remain compact and can therefore be grown in even the smallest of spaces, such as terraces and balconies. 'Kojo-No-Mai' is fully winter hardy whatever the weather and with just a little prune to the desired shape, it's a great choice for a spot of 'easy gardening'!

Popular since Victorian times and in those days said to be the Queen's favourite flower, this is a heritage variety with a modern twist as it has benefited from re-selection over the years to make a wonderful garden plant for today. Each extra large flower head opens from appleblossom pink rosebud buds held in a dense cluster, forming a luxurious salmony fully double inflorescence which lasts for many days. The blooms keep coming right through the summer months and well into autumn and contrast perfectly against the bright green faintly zoned foliage. This is the perfect plant for a large patio container and also makes a lovely plant for indoors. Why not enjoy it outdoors for the summer and re-pot for indoors when the weather turns colder. Supplied as 6 plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out.
