Nandinas, also known as Heavenly Bamboos, are amongst the best shrubs you can grow for spectacular winter colour from both leaves and berries. With its bamboo-like habit, Nandina 'Fire Power' is a beautiful and compact, producing several upright stems from a tight clump of foliage which is mid-green during spring and summer, tinged with red and purple on new shoots. It produces clusters of small white flowers in summer, that become shiny red berries in autumn, which is the time that the real show begins as the leaves change colour. The evergreen leaves become a spectacular bonfire orange and red, for stunning autumn colour which transforms to deeper maroon as it gets colder and the berries change to brighter and brighter red, so the whole plant is a frenzy of colour throughout winter. An impressive specimen when grown in a pot, 'Fire Power' also looks superb growing in borders, where its bright winter colour is particularly welcome. Supplied as an established plant in a 12 cm pot, ready to plant out, growing to a height and spread of 50 cm (20 in).
One of the main cooking ingredients in Asian dishes, The Kaffir or Thai lime, Citrus hystrixand makes an attractive plant with its fragrant, glossy green leaves and powerfully perfumed blooms. Picking the leaves every few weeks may help encourage growth and crushing the leaves will release the fragrant oils and an intense citrus aroma. The leaves can be used fresh off the tree, dried or even frozen to retain their intensity. Naturally compact, the Kaffir lime tree is a little smaller than other citrus plants, reaching just 150cm (5ft) tall with a bushier top, but is easily kept as a small plant for continual harvesting of leaves. Mature plants may also produce fruits, which are little knobbly powerhouses of flavour as the Kaffir lime peel is loaded with fragrant citrus oil, which gives a pleasant tingle when eaten. Easy to grow, they just require a slightly higher winter temperature than another citrus, ideally above 12ºC (54ºF). During the summer, plants benefit from spending time outside in a well-draining container on your patio, decking or balcony, and then brought back under cover before the first frosts of winter. Alternatively, you can grow the Kaffir lime in a well-lit conservatory, a bright room, or a heated greenhouse. Supplied in a 12cm pot. It flowers from May to August, but both blooms and fruit (when produced) can be on the tree at any time of the year.
Grow your own chillies with this fun kit and look forward to adding some home-grown flavour and heat to your cooking! Everything you need to get started is in the bright red fire bucket, including compost and a packet of 'Red Demon' chilli seeds. It makes an ideal gift. 'Red Demon' is a top-performing dwarf chilli variety that holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you can be sure of superb results. Just follow the instructions and your seeds will germinate and grow into attractive, compact plants, which will produce an abundance of small, upright chillies. These chillies can be grown on a warm, sunny patio, but for best results, place on a windowsill or in a greenhouse or conservatory where they can produce about 100 small chillies. Ready from July, pick some while they are still green to encourage further flowering and fruiting. These green chillis will make a delicious ingredient in your cooking and as the remaining chillies mature to orange and then red, their flavour and heat will intensify - so leave them on the plant for as long as you dare. Measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), 'Red Demon' chillies come in at between 30,000 and 50,000 SCUs, so they're hot, but not overpowering. Supplied as a metal bucket planter with compost and packet of seeds growing to a height of 35 cm (14 in).
The Kaffir or Thai lime, Citrus hystrix, is one of the main cooking ingredients in Asian dishes, and makes an attractive plant with its fragrant, glossy green leaves and powerfully perfumed blooms.

Just wait until you taste the difference between shop-bought and your own home-grown leaves - you will never go back to shop-bought! Picking the leaves every few weeks may help encourage growth and crushing the leaves will release the fragrant oils and an intense citrus aroma. The leaves can be used fresh off the tree, or dried or even frozen to retain their intensity. Naturally compact, the Kaffir lime tree is a little smaller than other citrus plants, reaching just 150cm (5ft) tall with a bushier top, but is easily kept as a small plant for continual harvesting of leaves. Mature plants may also produce fruits, which are little knobbly powerhouses of flavour as the Kaffir lime peel is loaded with fragrant citrus oil, which gives a pleasant tingle when eaten. Kaffir limes are easy to grow, just needing a slightly higher winter temperature than other citrus, ideally above 12C (54F). During the summer, plants benefit from spending time outside in a well-draining container on your patio, decking or balcony, and then brought back under cover before the first frosts of winter. Alternatively, grow the Kaffir lime in a well-lit conservatory, a bright room or a heated greenhouse. A strong, bushy plant is supplied in a 9cm pot. It flowers from May to August, but both blooms and fruit (when produced) can be on the tree at any time of the year.

One of the most attractive brassicas you can grow, purple sprouting broccoli 'Red Fire' will crop in early spring when there is little else growing in the vegetable garden, producing densely packed clusters of deep purple buds above thick, tender stems and rich green leaves that are just as good to eat. 'Red Fire' makes a colourful and tasty ingredient whether prepared raw for salads or dips, or steamed, boiled or stir-fried. It makes great soup, too - an ideal way of using up any leftover stems and leaves. Excess crops will freeze well, so you can enjoy this versatile veg throughout the year, long after its season has finished.
