A french-bred breakthrough in Forsythia, 'Maree d'Or' (or Golden Bells), has the same spectacular yellow flower displays in early Spring as other varieties, but in a naturally compact, low maintenance form. Reaching only 60-80cm tall, and spreading to 1m or so in 5-7 years, this compact form is perfect for Patio pots and smaller garden borders. All the flower power, and little of the space! Grow in sunny or lightly shade spots in any soils - from acidic to heavy clays, it is a very easy and very hardy and tolerant shrub - a 'good doer' as we like to call them!
Bred as an improvement to the popular 'Onward' pea variety, this excellent maincrop type produces high yields of juicy, plump marrowfat peas, each pod containing up to 9 dark green peas. The plants' compact and robust habit makes them ideal for exposed locations and smaller gardens. They show good resistance to powdery mildew, which is helpful for later sowings for successional cropping through a long season. A worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Ambassador' is a dependable variety that is easy to grow and a long-time favourite of vegetable growers. It is also a great choice for introducing children to gardening as the peas are so good to eat raw when picked straight from the plant. Not only tasty, these succulent peas are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and fibre, having particularly high levels of vitamin C. When frozen, the peas will retain good nutritional values. Supplied as a packet of 325 (approx.) seeds ready to sow outdoors from March to June directly into their cropping position. They will tolerate most soil types but will do best in neutral ph, deeply dug, fertilised soil.
Golden yellow, cylindrical courgettes with a superb flavour and texture. Courgette 'Parador' is early maturing and will continue cropping prolifically throughout summer with regular picking. This colourful RHS AGM variety will look fantastic on your plate. Height: 45cm (18). Spread: 90cm (35).

This collection comprises of 3 top sized bulbs, the same as used by commercial flower growers in Holland - gorgeous soft lemon yellow. These incredible Skyscraper Lilies grow so tall they look like trees! In their first year they will reach up to 1.5m (5ft) tall, but in future years, once they are fully established, they will get even taller up to 6 or even 7 foot tall eventually! These large flowered beauties arise as a consequence hybridisation between Oriental and Trumpet strains of lily hence the marriage of both species characteristics. Every flower delivers a wonderful heady perfume and each individual stem can carry well over 20 blooms, which can measure well over 15cm (6in) across. Grow all 3 in large pots about 15cm apart, or in groups in garden borders. They have very strong stems, so should not need support. Cut them for the long-lasting displays in the vase, or leave them to marvel at in your garden. Allow them to die down naturally after flowering, and they will build up reserves for even bigger and better displays the following year. Fully Winter hardy, they will last for many years.
