Looking very much like a palm tree in miniature, Dracaena marginata (also known as the Madagascar dragon tree) is an evergreen shrub with a crown of long, sword-shaped, dark green leaves, finely edged with reddish-brown. A superb, low-maintenance houseplant that has few problems. Holder of the presigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you can be sure that it is a tried and tested winner, Dracena is an easy-to-grow indoor plant which thrives on little care - a super choice for those of us new to growing houseplants! Dragon trees need a bright position which makes them an ideal candidate for a light windowsill out of direct sunlight and away from artificial heat sources such as radiators. They're slow growing too, taking around 10 years to get to 5ft, so won't overtake your home. As well as being super-easy to grow, Dracaena is well known for helping keep the air in your home clean as it filters out pollutants keeping it fresh and clean - according to NASA, this plant can remove formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene, found in furniture, fireplace smoke, and common household products. Supplied as a double-stem plant (30/15cm) in a 17cm pot. Please note that the decorative pot is not included, see 'as supplied' photo.

Daphne are prized for their amazing winter scent and their pink flowers that open from late February to April, filling the garden with early perfume and colour. This selection called Aureomarginata also have lovely gold-edges contrasting deep green leaves, providing colour interest all year round. Grow them in big pots, or deep, fertile soils. They are a slow growing evergreen shrub, which will only reach 1.5M tall in 10 years or so. They need little pruning or maintenance. Our stock is almost 3 years old, and is well-rooted and branched, at about 20-25cm tall. Daphne are very difficult to propagate from, and slow growing to start, so are often very expensive but we have managed to secure a very good deal with this specialist grower, and pass on these great savings!
