Does your cottage garden contain a sunny or partially shady border in need of ground cover? If so, this Cotoneaster will do the trick. Cotoneaster adpressus 'Little Gem' spreads quickly, forming mounds of deciduous, green foliage. The plant is easy to maintain, making it well-suited to difficult-to-reach places such as steep banks. This hardy shrub won't merely carpet such areas, it will transform them into points of interest when it grows white flowers and red berries in the summer and autumn respectively. Further colour is introduced at the end of the season, when Cotoneaster Tom Thumb's leaves turn magnificent shades of red. Height: 40cm (1'4). Spread: 2m (6'7).

We are delighted to be able to offer the joys of the nation's favourite Plum 'Victoria', but small enough for EVERY garden! Now anyone can grow juicy, fresh Vic's, even on a balcony, terrace, or small patio. Clever fruit tree grower Will Sibley has teamed the ever-popular best-selling 'Victoria' with a very dwarfing and compact new VVA1 rootstock, which removes most of the vigour that can sometimes be the downfall of plums. It's like someone has shrunk the tree - smaller in every way, except the fruit, which is just as big and juicy as the normal variety. It still produces lovely pure white spring blossom displays, and is self-fertile, so no other plums needed for fruit - just leave the bees to do their thing! Perfect in large patio pots (minimum 30cm diameter) for 5 years or so, it produces big, juicy crops of classic red Victoria Plums, yet stays small, manageable, and perfect for everyone. Supplied as an established plant in a 4.5L pot, ready to plant out.

And remember you'll have a beautiful display of fragrant cherry blossom in springtime too! Supplied as an established tree, 80-90 cm (2½-3 ft) tall grown on a dwarfing rootstock in a 4.5 L pot, growing to a height of 1.2 m (4 ft) and spread of 80 cm (2½ ft).
