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).
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 finest shrubs you can grow for spectacular winter colour from both leaves and red berries - this is a plant that should be in everyone's winter garden. Also known as the sacred or heavenly bamboo, Nandina is totally winter-hardy and tough as old boots! With a bamboo-like habit, several upright stems emerge from a tight clump of leaves which in spring and summer is mid-green with the odd reddish or purplish tinge on new shoots. It produces small white flowers, but it really comes into its own as the temperatures drop in autumn. The leaves turn spectacular bonfire orange red, perfect for Halloween and autumn colour, and keep getting darker red as it gets colder. The flowers have given way to berries, much like our own much-loved holly, which themselves get redder and redder too, so the whole plant is a frenzy of colour in full winter. Great as a specimen in a pot, so you can move it near the door to lift your spirits on dark days, or equally at home in the soil in a mixed border planting. In Japan, it is traditionally grown near a door, so if you awake from a nightmare, you can tell your Nandina about your dream so that it cannot harm you! Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant out any time of year.
