Osteospermum 'Blue Eyed Beauty' is a welcome beauty in any sunny borders, beds, or containers.
Few plants are as cheerful as African Daisies! Their bright blooms open wide to greet the sun with a dazzling display that lasts the summer. This colourful Duo brings together two modern varieties with exotic colouring and neat, compact habits.
Helianthus 'Sunbelievable (TM)' is just that - a plant with truly unbelievable flower power! The first ever-blooming annual sunflower, it certainly packs a punch with hundreds of gloriously golden sunflowers each with a mahogany centre 'eye'. You'll be amazed how it just blooms and blooms and blooms - from early summer right up until the first frosts. A multiple-branching sunflower, the large, golden-yellow flowers are 8-10cm (3-4in) across and are held above richly coloured foliage that deepens in hue over time, really setting the garden aflame with dazzling tones and sizzling exuberance. Supplied as a large plant in a 3L pot - the largest size currently available - in bud and ready to be planted up, this is a superb value-for-money plant - we've joked that if a plant was on steroids, this would be the result! 'Sunbelievable (TM)' is perfect for growing in containers or in flower borders, where this new introduction produces an abundance of pollen-free flowers on multi-branched stems, so you'll have more than enough to bring into your home! As well as many international awards, Helianthus 'Sunbelievable (TM)' picked up third place finalist in the prestigious 2018 RHS Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year Competition, proving that it has what it takes to make a garden winner. With a long flowering season - non-stop from May until the first frosts - it's reliable, robust and easy to grow, so is ideal for first-time gardeners and seasoned veterans alike! With the promise of over 1,000 blooms in a year, one of our growers at the nursery said he gave up counting at 1,000 in July...so we know first-hand that it has the potential for truly unbelievable garden performance all summer long. And the secret to the success of this amazing plant? Well that's down to its inability to set seed - a good thing if you don't want to be constantly weeding out unwanted seedlings - but also it means that all of the plant's energy goes into flower production - win-win if you ask us! Growing to a height and spread of 60cm (2ft), 'Sunbelievable' will behave itself and not seed everywhere which makes it a perfect low maintenance plant for any gardener.
Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm' is a neat daisy which erupts into bloom from July to October adding warm, end of season colour to your borders. Also known as Black-Eyed-Susan, 'Goldsturm' produces masses of uniform, golden-yellow flowers, each with a rich brown centre that will light up the garden like sunshine. A compact form of the garden coneflower, the sunflower-like blooms are carried on branching, upright stems which makes them great for cut flowers as well, so you can bring the colour indoors. Totally hardy, even in the harshest winters where it will die back underground, Rudbeckia Goldsturm will flower its socks off, getting bigger and better each year and you'll get months of blooms which look fabulous whether in a container or at the front of the flower border. Growing to just 80cm tall, the toothed, hairy leaves form a compact mound which adequately fills those gaps in borders which appear as the seasons progresses, providing a green backdrop for late spring and summer flowers. Easy to grow and particularly robust, this delightful rudbeckia is low maintenance too as it won't need staking and in late winter the stems just need a quick chop back to ground level - or if you want to encourage wildlife leave them on to provide a natural mulch and home for overwintering insects and invertebrates. 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 and it will return year after year getting bigger and better for many years to come. Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot ready to plant out.
A fabulous new, award winning patio Sunflower! Bushy, neat and compact, these multi-stemmed plants make a wonderful container plant and a real focal point in summer.
