A slow-growing, semi-dwarf Western Red Cedar which virtually stops growing once it reaches 2.5m ? the ideal height for a boundary hedge! Thuja plicata 'Can-can' provides dense, green foliage that forms an attractive cone-shaped tree.
Not just an outstanding ornamental or accent plant, variegated cat grass provides vitamins and fibre for your cat's diet and keeps them from chewing on your prized houseplants. Very quick growing and will be 15cm (6in) within six weeks for cats to enjoy. Later in season cut back taller growth for fresh new re-growth to munch upon. If grown indoors solely as a cat treat, keep things clean by sowing small batches of seed in pure vermiculite.
You might know Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum by its more common name, Japanese Snowball Bush. It's easy to see where this name comes from when, in May and June, the plant bears impressive, white flowers. However, this hardy shrub is perhaps most famous for its tiered foliage. Its green, heart-shaped leaves look lovely at the back of sunny borders throughout the summer, but come into their own in the autumn when they turn spectacular shades of red and purple. Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum is therefore a great addition to cottage, woodland and wildlife gardens in need of some added, late season interest. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 2m (8').
Commonly known as Red-Hot Cat's Tail, for its furry, long red blooms. This upright shrub makes a superb conservatory specimen, draped in pendulous blooms throughout the summer.
Stiff spikes of tightly packed buds open from the top of the stem downwards to reveal columns of fluffy mauve blooms. Liatris spicata makes a colourful display in late summer which attracts clouds of bees and butterflies to its nectar rich flowers.
This fast growing conifer boasts attractive, reddish-brown bark and aromatic, rich green foliage which hangs gracefully in drooping sprays. Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens' makes an excellent alternative to Leylandii as this conical tree is slower growing but still produces a dense hedge or magnificent stand-alone specimen tree.
The first of a new breed in trailing Vincas! Specifically for baskets and containers they are early flowering with large, rounded, overlapping petals forming striking, vivid blooms. Catharanthus is frost tender and therefore usually treated as a half hardy annual in the UK, unless grown in a warm greenhouse or conservatory.
An easy to raise, free flowering plant for the front of the border. The brilliant sky blue flowers are freely produced and are excellent for cutting, lasting a long time in water. They can also be dried for winter decoration. Will flower the same year from a late winter sowing. Flowers summer. Height 60cm (2ft)
