Named after the Enfield school master generally credited with introducing the sweet pea into England in 1699, 'Robert Uvedale' is a stunning pink sweet pea with large frilly blooms. Reputedly sent some seeds by the Italian naturalist, Francesco Cupani, Uvedale was apparently the first to grow sweet peas in the UK and the resulting luxuriously scented flowers caused quite a stir in their day. This is a traditional perfumed and climbing variety which boasts outstanding garden performance. Perfect for cutting and for exhibition.

This hardy annual is a new strain of Sweet Pea that has been bred for its pretty, pink flowers and sweet scent. When given plenty of sunlight, these blooms will appear throughout the summer. They make a great addition to cut flower gardens as well as to walls and fences in cottage gardens. Sweet Pea 'Eleanore Udall' was named by Gregory Udall, the founder of Thrive, after his wife. Thrive is a charity that aims to make gardening accessible to disabled and disadvantaged people as social and therapeutic horticulture (STH). Half the profits generated from the sale of this plant will be donated to Thrive. Buying this Sweet Pea will therefore transform not only your trellis, obelisk or garden arch but also the lives of vulnerable people all over the UK. Height: 1.8m (6'). Spread: 30cm (1').
Sky blue is a very welcome colour for garden flowers so Corydalis flexuosa ?Purple Leaf' needs serious consideration if you are looking for a change from pink, red and yellow blooms. Purple Leaf Corydalis has delicate fern-like purple foliage tinged with red forming a backdrop to the long tubular flowers rising above the mound of foliage from May to mid summer. This Corydalis needs to be placed in a border, rock garden or woodland area that benefits from dappled shade where it will grow to form clumps. Height: 15cm (6). Spread: 50cm (19).
Perfect for those challenging shaded areas beneath deciduous trees, or meandering through cottage garden borders! Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Purpurea' is a compact evergreen perennial that will seed freely once established, making superb groundcover.
Perfect for rockeries, alpine gardens and stone planters, Erica x darleyensis 'Darley Dale' is a winter flowering Heather, that looks superb planted alongside dwarf conifers and other varieties of heather. It has hundreds of small, pale pink flowers, when in bloom, that fill the compact, evergreen shrub. Erica 'Pink Perfection', Heather can be grown in all types of soil and is extremely low maintenance. As well as rockeries and borders, it's also a great ground cover plant for areas of the garden which are underplanted and prone to weeds. For example very narrow borders between the driveway and boundary fence. Height: 30cm (12). Spread: 55cm (22).
Petunia 'Tidal Wave' is a mix of popular petunias, with a profusion of flowers that are red, pink, lilac white and purple in colour.
Digitalis purpurea is a dainty, delicate Foxglove with peach-coloured flowers, which give it the alternative name 'Dalmatian Peach'. These blooms appear on characteristic, upright stems, which add structure and architecture to borders in cottage gardens, woodland gardens and cut flower gardens alike. The hardy biennial is equally deserving of a place in wildlife areas, for bees love its nectar-rich florets. These insects will 'buzz off' when the flowers die after midsummer, but are sure to be back the next year if you allow the plant to seed around. Height: 50cm (1'8). Spread: 40cm (1'4).
