A favourite amongst vegetable growers, climbing French bean 'Cobra' is quite possibly the tastiest there is, and it has wonderful mauve flowers too! Cropping continuously over a long season from July, you'll get heavy crops of stringless green pods 18cm (7in) long that have exceptionally good flavour. Delicious al dente, and packed full of vitamins A and K, minerals and fibre, and they freeze very well too, so you can enjoy your home grown crop into next year. Being a climbing French bean, 'Cobra' 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. 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 enjoy a top quality harvest. Supplied as 6 plug plants, ready for growing on or planting. Growing to 2m (6½ft), with beans ready to harvest from June to September.

'Isabel' is a vigorous grower, and with its outstanding natural health you'll be picking masses or tasty French beans for weeks on end.

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).
The sheer brightness of colours in this French Marigold series opens up a whole range of colour theming opportunities in pots and borders.

Plant about 20cm apart for a carpet of colour. Hot oranges, reds, and deep golden yellows and many with a mix of several shades in between - you can get hot, hot, hot with your plantings this year. They thrive in full, hot sun, but tolerate our rainy periods too. Supplied as 40 Pro Plug Plants, ready to grow on before planting out.
Blessed with strongly scented flowers from late spring into early summer, French lilacs are desirable deciduous shrubs that really make their presence felt. Appearing in great profusion at the end of branches clothed with heart shaped green leaves, the tiny, packed clusters of purple buds open to reveal a mass of brightly coloured tubular flowers that smell great and act as a magnet to wildlife. A real sun lover, lilacs can be grown in just about any soil or can be raised in large containers. For a sensational floral display, year after year, deadhead when two new shoots appear beneath faded blooms and remove any wayward branches to keep a compact shape. Supplied as 3 established plants in 9cm pots, 1 each of 3 colours; pink, white and lavender-blue.

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.
