Brighten up your garden in the dreary winter months with this fabulous evergreen, winter flowering Clematis 'Freckles'. Its dainty nodding blooms make an appearance when the garden can be at its bleakest and are an uplifting and cheery sight indeed! Easy to care for and needs no pruning so can be planted anywhere where the sun reaches - even in the most inaccessible spots. Clematis Cirrhosa 'Freckles' is a vigorous evergreen climber with attractive, 3-lobed, dark green leaves that shine with a bronze glow through the winter. The pale-yellow nodding flowers are heavily speckled with maroon and are produced from late autumn right through to spring and are followed with attractive, silky seed heads. 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, for stunning displays for many years to come. Supplied as an established plant in a 7cm pot, ready for immediate planting.
The flowers of Passiflora are quite possibly the most exotic looking that you can grow, and 'Betty Myles Young' is a perfect example. The extraordinary flowers have bright purple-blue reflexed petals and filaments tipped with blue and are absolutely fascinating to see as they appear all over this semi-evergreen climber from May until September, standing out in contrast to the glossy, deep green multi-lobed leaves. Hardy once established, they thrive against a south-facing wall or in large pots - and perfect for covering walls, arches and trellises. The flowers are very waxy and long lasting, and their amazing detail is a fascinating. You may even be treated to orange passion fruits in hot years, but wait until they're very orange and ripe before eating. Supplied as an established plant in an 11cm pot, ready to plant and growing to 6m (20ft) in height with a spread of 4m (13ft).

If you want to grow something different, then this is the plant for you! The Yellow Bird of Paradise (Caesalpinia gillesii), is a bushy shrub with a profusion of snapdragon-like flowers dripping with orange-red tassels. Caesalpinia goes by several other names, including the Desert Bird of Paradise and Crimson Threadflower - which give a hint to its drought tolerance and beautiful flowers. The yellow flowers reach around 2.5cm (1in) and are extended further, sometimes by as much as 7.5cm (3in), by the showy stamens which are produced on erect stems 15-30 (6-12in) long. The blooms are a favourite with humming birds in its native South America. Rarely sold or grown in the UK, Martin discovered it on a Spanish Nursery on a trip there recently, and bought all we were allowed to. With fine feathery foliage, like an Acacia, this bird of paradise (which incidentally is not related to the Strelitzia), is borderline hardy in the UK, so we advise protecting from frost in winter. Grow it in large pots in a sunny position, and enjoy its amazing flower displays in late summer. Caesaplinia easy to care for and generally problem free - plants under glass may need a restrictive prune after the first flush of flowers.
An exceptional variety that is early to crop and has a long picking season, 'Polestar' produces high yields of smooth runner bean pods that have a sweet flavour and crisp, fleshy texture. If not left too long on the vine, these beans are stringless, so for best taste and texture, pick when they reach 15-20cm (6-8in) in length. A reliable and long-standing favourite of vegetable growers, this heavy cropping variety will produce plenty of delicious fresh beans for your plate and plenty more for the freezer. Versatile and nutritious, they are a classic cooked veg, but the young beans also taste great raw - try shredding or slicing them into a salad or using as a baton for dips. For best results, sow the seeds indoors in pots from April to May for transplanting outside in May to June; or sow from April to May outdoors, directly into their cropping position. To get the growing season off to an earlier start, sow them in containers in your greenhouse. The plants produce pretty red flowers, which are very attractive to bees and other beneficial insects. Grow alongside sweet peas as these will draw in more insects that will help pollinate the runner beans and produce an even bigger crop. As well as 'Polestar' being a rewarding bean to grow, the beans are highly nutritious as they are rich in vitamin C and a good source of fibre. Trim and blanch surplus crops to store in an airtight container or bag in the freezer. They will freeze well, retaining good flavour and texture when cooked from frozen. Supplied as a packet of 50 (approx.) seeds ready to plant indoors in individual pots or outdoors in their growing position. Being deep-rooted, runner beans will thrive in well-dug, fertile, moisture-retentive but well-draining soil, in a sunny and sheltered position. Successive sowings every 2-3 weeks will achieve an extended cropping. Beans will be ready to harvest from July to October, 12-16 weeks after sowing.
