'Miss Bateman' is a simply gorgeous, early season and large flowering clematis with elegant white blooms that have green stripes down the petals. Not one to disappoint, it will produce a second display of pretty white flowers later in the summer from August to September. A vigorous climber, this clematis has a relatively compact habit, and this makes it suitable for growing in container if space is limited, where its free-flowering nature can be put to best effect. Clematis plants make wonderful additions to any garden and can be used very effectively to screen and hide objects and to enhance other plants such as other climbers and shrubs, especially roses. Due to the compact nature of this plant, you can also plant in a pot or container on the patio, so you should not worry about finding space in your borders. Why not grow up an obelisk in a pot for a beautiful patio display? Winter hardy and free flowering, they can pretty much be left to their own devices with just a light trim in late winter/early spring trim and a prune back in the summer after flowering. Supplied as an established plant in a 15cm pot, with a supporting tripod, ready to plant.
This beautiful evergreen clematis 'Cartmanii Joe' is a compact climber that is perfect for smaller and courtyard gardens.

A superb climber, that flowers from later winter to spring, providing your garden with some early season blooms. It is also a perfect choice thanks to its evergreen leaves which provide year-round interest in your garden. Robust and fully hardy, this clematis is highly ornamental over a long period and is always in demand and quite rightly so - plant it in free-draining soil by doorways or alongside pergolas to make the most of its pristine blooms and evocative fragrance. Supplied as an established plant in a 1.5L pot, ready for immediate planting.
Sometimes known as the Cobra Lily, it's not hard to imagine how it got this name, resembling the forked tongue of a Cobra. A fiery, exotic and fabulous looking summer-flowering bulb, not widely known or grown, yet very easy in pots. Not entirely hardy, it will take a degree or two of frost if well-drained, so we suggest growing in pots, with added sand or gravel for drainage. Plant 3 or 4 corms in a 25-30cm diameter pot, as they will spread over 5 years or so, giving bigger and better displays. The best displays are from full sun spots, so feed and water well in warmer months. This relative of Montbretia (Crocosomia) produces lovely, deep-orange flame-like flowers in tall and showy spikes in high summer, developing to seed-pods which add autumn interest. Bring the pot inside over winter to ensure survival for following years. Supplied as a pack of 5 bulbs ready to plant out.
One of the most romantic crocuses that you can buy, these low-growing and early blooming spring flowers open wide in the sun, spreading their warm-yellow petals wide in the early season sunshine. The cup-shaped blooms are abundant and striking, with darker tones making them appear almost bicolour as they open from their pale buds. This wonderful variety is great for container displays on your balcony or decking. In fact, these crocuses will grow almost anywhere in the garden too, even happy in light shade and prefer a free-draining soil. Good for naturalizing as they return reliably and are perfect for planting under shrubs and trees. Leave the bulbs in the ground after the flowers have died back, and they'll reward you with bigger, better displays, each year for many years to come. Supplied as a pack of 30 bulbs, ready for planting.
Everyone loves magnificent lilies growing in the garden, where they are amongst the most beautiful and exotic looking summer flowers, and we're excited to bring you this wonderful collection of dwarf Oriental Lilies. Part of the 'Romance' Lily series bred by the famous G.A. Verdegall in the Netherlands, they boast the same familiar, extravagant flowers and delicious scent as other Oriental Lilies, yet are only half the height, growing to just 50cm tall. This makes them absolutely perfect for growing in pots, where they look fabulous grouped together, and of course, they bring a fantastic exotic feel to beds and borders too. Once the large, upward facing flowers burst open, they last for up to three weeks, creating a spectacular display in your garden, and there is no better flower for creating dramatic indoor arrangements. Each bulb will initially produce up to four flowers, and left in the ground all year, they'll come back bigger and better with even more flowers year after year. Supplied as a collection of 18 blubs, size 13/14, 6 of each variety: 'Fine Romance' - Beautiful pale pink flowers with a flush of yellow and dark edges petals.'Smart Romance' - Warm pink flowers with maroon speckles.'Rapid Romance' - Spectacular pink and white flower, looking very similar to 'Stargazer'.
This collection comprises of 5 top sized bulbs, the same as used by commercial flower growers in Holland - gorgeous soft lemon yellow. These incredible Skyscraper Lilies grow so tall they look like trees! In their first year they will reach up to 1.5m (5ft) tall, but in future years, once they are fully established, they will get even taller up to 6 or even 7 foot tall eventually! These large flowered beauties arise as a consequence hybridisation between Oriental and Trumpet strains of lily hence the marriage of both species characteristics. Every flower delivers a wonderful heady perfume and each individual stem can carry well over 20 blooms, which can measure well over 15cm (6in) across. Grow all 5 in large pots about 15cm apart, or in groups in garden borders. They have very strong stems, so should not need support. Cut them for the long-lasting displays in the vase, or leave them to marvel at in your garden. Allow them to die down naturally after flowering, and they will build up reserves for even bigger and better displays the following year. Fully Winter hardy, they will last for many years. Supplied as a pack of 5 bulbs, size 14/16, ready to plant out in January-May.
