One of the nation's favourite early spring plants, Camellias are, when given the right conditions, very straightforward and problem free. Camellia Japonica 'Nuccio's Gem' will provide your garden with the most fabulous displays of flowers when almost every other plant is still asleep for winter. Clusters of gorgeous white blooms that are made up of neatly layered pointed petals. Perfect for growing in pots, they have a dense and upright growing habit with glossy green leaves. The key to success with Camellias is they need acidic soils - like Rhododendrons. This means they can easily be grown in pots in ericaceous composts, and provided they are fed with specialist ericaceous feed, will provide many years of colour and interest. They are evergreen, and their neat, shiny, tough leaves will provide a backdrop to other plants all year. Flower buds start swelling late the previous summer, and keep getting bigger all autumn and winter, until they burst open in early spring. The flowers can be caught by frosts when they are opening, but the buds are generally fine, and the plant is totally hardy and tough. 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 15cm pot, ready to pot on or plant out.

Finalist for 2019 B&LLA Licensing Awards. Available for UK next day delivery. These luxury flowers are inspired by the masterpieces housed at The National Gallery. Each fine bouquet is carefully arranged by our floral designers exclusively for The National Gallery. The Wilton Diptych consists of a left and right panel. This bouquet is inspired by the right panel which depicts Virgin and Child surrounded by joyful Angels. This fine work was originally painted for King Richard II of England and it is one of the rarest of all surviving medieval panel paintings. Our professional team of florists have selected the perfect floral combination to represent this memorable work of art. Peach avalanche roses represent the flowers resting on the heads of the angels while the blue agapanthas and germinis represent the blue and yellow aspects of the painting like the blue robes and shimmering hair of the Angels. The flowers around the lower border of the painting are symbolised by the gorgeous gold flower pick that helps bring all of the design aspects together including the blossoming of the flowers at the angels feet. To finish this bouquet off in impeccable style, we also included gold Eryngium for the gold elements of the painting and, of course, the feathers for those glorious angel wings! Perfect for Christmas, send this bouquet to a friend or loved one to celebrate the festive season! English or French (?), The Wilton Diptych © The National Gallery, London
