This is a fabulous new colour addition to the amazing Bottlebrush family. No prizes for guessing where they get their name from - their classic spring flowers zing with intense colour. Usually red, this is the first widely available pink, and what a neon-pink it is too! Each flower is made up of thousands of thin stamens, each pollen rich, so become a mecca for bees and butterflies early in the season. Flowering in spring and early summer, it is great to attract early season pollinators to fruit - and sometimes has a mini flush of flowers again in autumn. Grow in a pot in a warm and sunny spot, in a well-drained mix. A half-hardy shrub, give winter protection in colder, windier spots, as early leaves and growth can be damaged.

Bees, butterflies and a host of other insects will find the nectar rich flowers irresistible too! The young foliage is flushed with pink before maturing to dark green, carrying a lemon fragrance that's released when you brush past it or crush the leaves, and in this standard form, this Callistemon will look superb all year round.

Foxglove 'Illumination' is a range of hybrid digitalis. These stunning perennials, producing multiple spikes of tubular blooms that will take your breath away. The striking vivid coloured tubular flowers are lightly speckled and shimmer in the sunshine giving real impact to any garden. Produced in abundance from early June to October, they're magnets to bees and other beneficial pollinating insects. 'Illumination Cherry Brandy' produces the most amazingly vibrant purple flowers with contrasting orange throats, a striking colour combination! Thriving in sun or dappled shed, it's happy in borders and looks magnificent growing in pots too. Relatively compact compared to other foxgloves, 'Illumination' is sterile which means that they will put all of their energy into making more blooms instead of producing seed. Also, they have a naturally branching habit, which results in lots of flower spikes, makes these one of the showier varieties. Supplied as 3 x jumbo plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out, reaching a height of 1m (3ft) and spread of 50cm (1½ft).
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.
