A beautiful new Buddleia for gardens of all sizes, 'High Five Purple' is a wonderful dwarf variety with all the features of its full-sized relatives, but in a miniature! Bright green foliage gives rise to an abundance of large, upright flower spikes from spring until autumn, each one densely packed with hundreds of individual double purple flowers that carry a sweet, honey-like fragrance. Although Buddleia are renowned for being invasive by self-seeding freely, this is not the case with 'High Five Purple' because it produces very little seed, and what seeds do appear won't usually germinate, so no more picking out seedlings from your flower borders! Happiest in full sun 'High Five Purple' will also grow in partial shade and will remain neat and compact wherever you choose to plant it. With its long flowering season, it's a great border plant and is particularly good when grown in a decorative pot, looking like a flower arrangement that you've just finished creating! Try planting it amongst blue flowering plants for a cool, calming effect, or with orange and yellow for a popping colour contrast. Like all Buddleia, this striking hardy perennial will be a magnet for bees and butterflies all summer long, and the flowers are great for cutting too. All in all an incredibly impressive plant! Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant and growing to a height and spread of 80cm (2½ft).

Easy to pick on upright stems. All with good disease resistance. This collection comprises:Dwarf Bean 'Opera', Dwarf Bean 'Laguna' and Dwarf Bean 'Sansoucy'
A top-quality variety that matures quickly, 'Ferrari' gives reliably high yields of slender, straight and stringless round pods that have superb taste and texture - far superior to any shop-bought bean. This worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit is easy to grow, with good resistance to disease such as Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV), Halo Blight and Anthracnose, so is a great choice for gardeners of any experience. Being a dwarf type bean, it is ideal for growing in containers, as well as in beds and borders, producing compact, bushy plants that don't need staking. The succulent beans have a rich green colour and an excellent flavour and are a great source of fibre and vitamins A and C. If not left too long on the vine, the beans are stringless, so for best flavour and texture, pick them when they reach 15cm (6in) in length. They are best harvested in one picking, as soon as they are ready; if you have more than you can eat, they will keep well and are also good for freezing. For early harvests, sow from April, indoors or outdoors under cloches, or outdoors from May to July directly into their cropping position. The plants are fast-growing, and produce attractive white flowers followed by the pods. The pods will be ready for picking 12 weeks after sowing, with plentiful crops over a short period (about 2 weeks). Regular sowings every couple of weeks or so will extend the cropping season through to autumn. For best results, grow in a sunny, sheltered position. These beans will thrive in fertile, moist but well-draining soil, so dig in some well-rotted manure before sowing in a bed or use good-quality compost in a container. Supplied as a pack of 100 (approx.) seeds ready to sow indoors into individual pots or outdoors into their cropping position. Grows up to 60cm (24in). Successional sowing will produce harvests from June to October.
Dwarf French Bean Tendergreen is a self-supporting variety - sow the seeds 8cm apart and the plants will support themselves so no need for netting or supports.

For best results pick when the beans are 15cm long. #html-body [data-pb-style="60599B2141A68"]{justify-content: flex-start; display: flex; flex-direction: column; background-position: left top; background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: scroll; border-style: none; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 10px;}#html-body [data-pb-style="60599B2141A78"]{border-style: none; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}
A lovely mix of the more compact Gladioli species, which gets best results from planting in Autumn or early Winter, unlike the bolder and brasher cousins. Unlike them too, they have a lovely blended palette of pinks, reds, whites and blush colours, often weith the characteristic fuchsia pink lipstick marking on the petals, making them something quite different and unqiue. Forget big and bold showy Gladioli, these are understated beauties, plant them in groups of 5 or 10 mixed in to borders, for Summer colour. Good for cut flowers too, despite being shorter stemmed. Supplied as a pack of 50 mixed bulbs, size 7/8 ready to plant out in autumn.

A highly attractive feature tree, Pomegranates are well-known, although not as widely grown in our gardens as they should be. With deep green foliage and bright orange flowers in summer, your pomegranate will look great for years to come, with its shiny fruits ripening in the sun and providing a beautiful contrast to its leaves. A tough, deciduous shrub, Pomegranate Punica 'Nana' is completely hardy when established, and will easily tolerate our British winters. Also known as the Dwarf Pomegranate, it's more compact than other varieties and for best results, grow in a warm and sunny aspect in a pot where it can be moved around as necessary before planting out when its trunk has thicker wood. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. Plants like a rich soil with plenty of grit and gravel for good drainage. Although drought-tolerant when established, do keep your plant well-watered and it will flower throughout the summer. Pomegranate bushes love hot summers and your bush will thrive in a sunny spot in the shelter of a building or ideally up against a stone or brick wall that will radiate heat back to the plant, helping to ripen the fruit and protect it from any extreme winter weather. Supplied as an established plant in a 14cm pot, ready for planting straight out. Will reach 1-2m tall in 10 years.
A collection of three stunning Rhododendrons to give you vibrant blooms in spring and year-round, evergreen foliage interest. Contrasting with the gorgeous flowers, the evergreen leaves are glossy green and provide a good foil for other plants such as colourful perennials - which will also give another layer of planting to your garden. Growing to around 100cm (3ft 3in) high and wide, depending on variety, Rhododendrons are ideally suited to container growing, and this will also help to keep them compact and of course easy to maintain. Perfect for providing masses of colour in early spring, Rhododendrons thrive in moist soil and partial shade, and need acidic soil, so incorporate plenty of ericaceous compost to the planting hole or container when planting. Supplied as a collection of 3 plants in 2L pots, 1 each of Yellow, Purple and Pink.
