A brand new variety for 2021, hydrangea 'French Bolero' will amaze all who see it with its incredible flowers that, unlike most hydrangeas, are carried along the entire length of its branches instead of only on the tips. A real breakthrough in breeding which it shares with hydrangea 'Runaway Bride'! The abundance of white lace-cap flowers covering this shrub from June until October look simply amazing and change colour depending on the acidity of the soil. Alkaline soils will produce delightful soft pink blooms, whilst acid soil will give you beautiful pastel shades of blue and purple. 'French Bolero' has a wonderfully compact and airy, spreading habit and is perfect for growing in a large patio pot - where you can choose the compost to give you the flower colour you want - and it's equally at home in the middle of the border. Wherever you plant this truly impressive hydrangea, the stunning flowers make it a real must-have addition to your garden, and the long, flower covered stems look spectacular as cut flowers too! Once flowering is over in the autumn, the faded flower heads look amazing left on the plants, where they'll become a much appreciated winter home to insects, and they look spectacular on frosty days. They can also be dried and used in indoor arrangements. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready for planting, growing to a height and spread of 1m (3ft).
A vigorous and prolific climbing French bean, 'Isabel' produces generous harvests of long, pencil thin, stringless pods with white beans that have an excellent sweet flavour and are firm but tender to the bite. Delicious eaten lightly boiled or steamed and packed full of vitamins A and K, minerals and fibre, and they freeze very well too, so you won't waste any of your crop! 'Isabel' is a vigorous grower, and with its outstanding natural health you'll be picking masses or tasty French beans for weeks on end. Being a climbing French bean, 'Isabel' will require a sturdy support that's at least 6ft tall. Cane wigwams are traditionally used, made by placing four or five canes 6 inches apart around the plant, tied together at the top to give a strong structure that's an attractive feature in the vegetable garden, and works well if you're growing your beans in pots too. If you're growing long rows of beans, place canes 6 inches apart either side of the row and tie them to a horizontal cane at the top to make a tent shape. After a little help, your beans will twine their way naturally over the support. Supplied as 6 plug plants, ready for growing on or planting. Growing to 2m (6½ft), with beans ready to harvest from June to October.
