Suppress your weeds with a densely planted carpet of vibrant African Daisies. Osteospermum jucundum var.
Without doubt, the toughest and hardiest of all ornamental bananas in the UK, it is grown for its dramatic and tough leaves, and, once mature, its amazing and long-lasting golden-yellow flowers - hence its name. From high up in the Chinese mountains of Yunnan, it is naturally very tough, and is exposed to temperatures well below freezing. It forms a much thicker and sturdier trunk-stem than other bananas, which is very tough and hardy. Even if leaves are damaged by frosts, more and new leaves emerge in spring, as well as numerous 'pups' round the side. The flower is in fact its last hurrah, as the 6 month epic flower display is a sign the plant will die - but fear not, you will have plenty of established pups round the side in a clump, each of which will grow and develop to maturity too. It is thus best regarded as a clump forming perennial. It is also much shorter and less vigorous than other huge banana plants too at around 4-5ft tall maximum, making it ideal for large pots in small gardens - grow in full sun or shade, it makes a great talking point. Note - it does not produce any edible banana fruit, or even tiny ornamental ones. Very easy to grow, and a great, exotic-looking patio focal point.

Description for Geranium pratense 'Summer Skies' (Hardy) not available
Ferns are fascinating and ancient plants, being found in fossils from over 140 million years ago. They don't produce seeds or flowers, and instead reproduce using spores. The leaves, known as fronds, begin life curled up tightly in the centre of the plant, and gradually unfurl upwards before arching outwards. Quite a sight! Our collection of evergreen ferns features three of the most familiar varieties, each with a different foliage shape, from the classic woodland Buckler fern to the almost tropical looking Harts Tongue fern and the narrow fronds of the Deer fern. They will compliment each other beautifully when planted together, and they're also great in pots. They're easy to grow and almost maintenance free too. What's more, all three of these spectacular plants hold an RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you know that these are highly regarded garden plants. Ferns are happiest growing in dappled light in cool, moist and fertile soil, although they will tolerate brighter sunshine. They look spectacular in shaded borders or woodland style gardens with their wonderfully lush, rich green colours. Supplied as 3 established plants in 9 cm pots, ready to plant, including: Deer Fern - Blechnum spicant. A beautiful evergreen fern that forms a rosette of ladder-shaped fronds, reaching a height of 45 cm (1½ ft) and spread of 60 cm (2 ft). Harts Tongue Fern - Asplenium scolopendrium. Long, broad and glossy evergreen, tongue shaped green fronds in neatly arching clumps, reaching a height and spread of 60 cm (2 ft). Buckler Fern - Dryopteris erythrosora. A large, striking semi-evergreen fern with long triangular fronds that are tinted in coppery pink when young before maturing to lush green, growing to a height and spread of 1 m (3 ft).
Hardy ferns are a hidden gem of the gardening world and should be grown much more widely.

Some of the best to grow, these ferns will reward you with colourful foliage interest, and are perfect together as a small fernery in the border or in a large pot, or even in mixed planters. They all prefer cool, fertile soil that doesn't dry out and are best in light shade where their colours really shine. This collection includes three plants in 9cm pots, one each of: Athyrium otophorum var. okanum (AGM): Yellow green, glowing foliage with contrasting red veins and stipe. Very good in a pot and prefers shade. A deciduous fern, so leaves die back in the winter before emerging again next spring. H45cm (18in). Dryopteris erythrosora (AGM): The buckler fern, this striking deciduous fern has triangular-shaped fronds, which are copper-red when young and slowly mature to dark green.

Growing virtually anywhere, and particularly valuable for those awkward shady spots, they are available in a wide range of colours and forms to suit any garden.Also known as Plantain Lilies, Hostas are great for filling gaps in beds and borders, and they also look fabulous planted up in patio pots and containers seperately for a more formal look. Their attractive foliage creates interest all year round and their stunning, often fragrant flowers really wow in the summer.They love the sun but will perform just as well in the shade - they're a great choice for planting underneath trees and shrubs in dabbled shade, acting as great groundcover plants.
