Just imagine sitting on your patio this summer surrounded by the intoxicatingly sweet fragrance from your very own standard Jasmine plant - just heavenly! This gorgeous, standard Jasmine will reward you with the most highly scented, perfect flowers, the perfume from which is absolutely breathtaking, filling the air with sweet fragrance.The perfectly formed, rose-like 'waxy' white flowers are produced above rich-green, glossy leaves to form a beautifully rounded ball of foliage. A large, evergreen shrub with deep glossy green leaves and very fragrant, white camelia-like flowers, the common Gardenia is certainly an eye-catching plant, worthy of a place in any garden. Thought to be too tender for UK gardens, the Cape Jasmine can actually be grown outside in summer in a sheltered frost-free area, however it's best treated as a summer patio plant and brought under cover through the winter. Holder of a prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a plant that has been rigorously trialled, and you can be guaranteed that it will perform. Delivered as a standard plant, 70cm tall (including pot) Gardenia jasminoides makes a delightful houseplant or summer patio plant.
A decorative shrub that can be grown outside, the pawpaw is a garden-worthy plant that will give a long season of interest. The show begins in spring, when the deep burgundy-purple, cup-shaped flowers burst from their buds in May. With an unusual form, they consist of 6 petals - 3 outer and 3 inner - giving a delightful show that always gets attention. These are followed in hot summers by oval, edible fruits that colour up from yellow to a rich ochre - think of the colour of a ripe banana. The long lime-green leaves then dominate the show, gradually turning golden-yellow before falling in the autumn. Tasting like a cross between a banana and a mango, pawpaw is said to have a sweet custard-like flavour which makes them a great delicacy - however, you're unlikely to see them commercially grown as plants can be male, female or hermaphroditic. Although they have both male and female reproduction parts, they are not self-pollinating and need pollination from another unrelated pawpaw tree. Hardy to -10°C, the Pawpaw benefits from a warm position in the garden such as a sheltered, south-facing wall where it is best grown as an ornamental multi-stemmed shrub. While plants can reach up to 8m in their native US, they're more likely to attain a modest 4m here in the UK. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot ready for immediate planting.
'Mini Star' is a vigorous cucumber that will provide a profusion of small, delicious snack-sized fruit with smooth, glossy dark green skins and crisp, refreshing flesh. Just the thing for picking on a warm day in the garden! This is a grafted variety and by using a particularly strong rootstock the plants are bigger, stronger and more disease resistant than other varieties, and best of all, you can expect massively increased yields of sweet and juicy snack cucumbers all the way from June until October. Perfect in salads and sandwiches, or sliced lengthways for crudités and dips, and of course plucked straight from the plant and eaten straight away, these are amazing cucumbers and you'll love growing them as much as eating them. Pick often to encourage further fruiting and any surplus will be great for pickling. These little beauties are packed with nutrients and antioxidants - low in calories and a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as minerals and antioxidants. 'Mini Star' well inside a cold greenhouse or equally well outdoors in your garden beds or patio pots. For best results, support them with netting or a trellis, although they can be grown successfully at ground level. Supplied as 3 established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting.
