Create interest all summer long with this gorgeous blue flowering Geraniumis. Perfect for planting underneath rose bushes and at the front of borders, it is one of those invaluable plants that not only looks good but is perfect for almost any situation. This hardy perennial is easy to grow and will not disappoint when it comes into bloom. From early late spring, 'Johnson's Blue' produces beautiful lavender-blue blooms that stand out amongst the dense mid green leaves. Flowering until August, it spreads to form a mound of foliage that is excellent for suppressing weeds. This Geranium will do well in both a sunny or partly shaded position in your garden, just plant it in some fertile and well-drained soil. Requiring almost no maintenance, you can propagate them by cutting them back after they have flowered and then divide them in either early autumn or early spring. It is also recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', thanks to its flowers that are a favourite with butterflies and bees. Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant.
Eryngium planum 'Blue Hobbit' is a unique, perennial dwarf Sea Holly which produces dozens of unusual spikes of flowers that are a favourite for cutting, whether fresh or dried. Naturally compact, plants are ideal when situated at the front of a border in full sun and also perform beautifully in pots and containers, where that can be mixed in with other plants for a summer display to remember! The thimble-sized, metallic-blue flowers are surrounded by a collar of short spikes and are carried on short, blue stems that rise from the clump of rounded basal leaves in summer and early autumn to fill your pots and borders with colour and texture. Each thistle-like head is composed of many smaller flowers, each of which provides a valuable nectar source for pollinating insects so naturally plants are very attractive to insects. The masses of metallic-blue flower sprays remain attractive for weeks, shrugging off inclement weather and drought (when established) and look spectacular when grown in a gravel garden or seaside garden - their natural habitat! For drying, pick stems just as the flower clusters open fully, and hang upside down to dry in a warm, dark place. Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready to pot on or plant out as the weather warms. Note plants are dormant October - March so may show no leaves in the pot.

< With its thin, flat texture, slate is a beautiful alternative to gravel, and this blue variety is one of the most popular colour choices! This completely natural, recycled, lime free Welsh slate changes colour from pale grey-blue to glossy blue and purple when it gets wet which creates a contemporary look wherever it's used in your garden. It looks fantastic as a top dressing for pots and planters both indoors and out, especially for architectural specimen plants, and will help to retain moisture and supress weeds too. It's also fish friendly, so it can be used in aquariums, ponds and water features without the danger of it altering the pH or anything leaching out that could upset the delicate balance of the water. These larger-size slate chippings are naturally roughly edged and graded to be about 40 mm long, with varying widths. They make a great colour and texture contrast when used as an edging for slabbed or decked patios and are also suitable for pathways, becoming wonderfully reflective in wet weather. Although the slate is prewashed and ready to use, we recommend that it is washed again before aquatic use. As a guide, one bag of slate will cover 50 cm² (20 in²) at a depth of 25 mm (1 in). Supplied as a 20 kg bag.
Scabious 'Butterfly Blue' is great in wildlife gardens because, as its name suggests, it attracts scores of butterflies and bees between July and October. These pollinators flock to the hardy perennial's lavender-blue blooms, which protrude on dainty stems above grey-green, lance shaped foliage. Scabiosa atropurpurea, which is sometimes called Pinchushion Flower or Sweet Scabious, grows best in sunny, cottage garden borders, but also makes an interesting cut flower. Height: 40cm (1'4). Spread: 40cm (1'4).
