The amazing Hydrangea that everyone is talking about!! Forget those dull seaside displays of blues and pinks, 'Miss Saori' is something different. And this was recognised when it won the Best Plant 2014 at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Such has been the popularity of this stunning hydrangea that plants remains scarce, although we have once again secured stock of these sought-after beauties for our customers this year. So what is all the fuss about? Well, each flower is fully double, which is unusual for Hydrangeas. To top this, each petal looks sugar-coated with lipstick-pink edging, fading subtly to the centre, creating a wonderful effect when the huge flowerhead is seen. Bred in Japan by the world's premier Hydrangea hybridiser, 'Miss Saori' also repeat flowers, as it flowers on both young and old wood - this removes many of the conundrums of pruning, making it easier to manage, and longer flowering than conventional types. As if this was not enough, as cooler autumn approaches, and the final flowers blossom, the leaves turn burgundy purple, presenting the perfect foil for the flowers. Be one of the very few who can grow this so early in it's life, it is set to be an exceptionally successful variety. Supplied as 3 x establoshed plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant out now.

All heights listed are approximate and fully established plant heights may vary. The amount of foliage, buds or bloom on the plant will depend on what part of the season the product is purchased. Please see description below for full product details.Not as recent marketing would have you believe a plant that has been created for men, but rather a new and exciting development in succulent breeding that is taking the gardening world by storm. A cross between the Manfreda and the Agave, Mangaves are becoming increasingly popular as the interest in Xeric landscaping grows - the process of gardening that reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental moisture from watering. Manfredas have rosettes of coloured leaves branching from a very short stem, often with creamy, tubular flowers at the end of a long stalk. Agaves on the other hand are well known for their strong succulent leaves that form large rosettes. These interesting hybrids combine the best features of both types the better growth rate and the interesting patterns and colours of Manfreda, and the habit and refinement of Agave. Varieties can be spotted, blotched or plain green in various shades and with an interesting texture, they can be a bit pointy, but definitely not as prickly as a cactus. Some of the varieties have really interesting leaf shape too, from slim and long to short and broad and wavy or straight too. 'Mission to Mars' is a striking variety of Mangave with intense red coloration to the leaves which gives rise to its name. The thick green leaves are heavily speckled with burgundy red and form a gently arching habit with margins that curl upward. This highlights the cinnamon-coloured spines giving the plant an appearance much like a tropical bromeliad. Compact in growth and visually stunning, Mangaves make a perfect patio plant, sitting happily in a pot through the summer on your decking or balcony, they will then make a perfect houseplant through the winter in a bright room. All varieties should be watered only sparingly as they are ideally suited to dessert, arid conditions and are lovers of warm temperatures - they make an ideal specimen for a greenhouse or as a houseplant for a bright rooms - indeed anything less than 65F will result in the plant becoming dormant. Supplied as an established plant in a 15cm pot, ready for immediate potting on. Eventual height and width 25cm x 55cm (10 x 22in).Top Tips- Overwintering plants should be kept them cool with the soil barely moist.

In winter, reduce to a maximum of once a month, and then only lightly.- Keep the plants in a bright, unheated room or conservatory over winter and then move back outside during the summer.- Feeding is not normally required, although during their growing season, they wont object, and you should add light nitrogen feed once a fortnight.Pruning Advance for Mangave:- No pruning is needed.

Perfect for containers as well as the fruit garden - just plant them in a sunny or semi shaded place in ericaceous soil and get ready to enjoy the harvest from late July. Bush fruit gives you the chance to grow your own fruit in a smaller area. It is also easier to harvest as on a lower level than trees. Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready for immediate planting. Top Tips- Plants should be watered with rain water. If you need to use tap water, then use in conjunction with an ericaceous fertilizer which will neutralise any lime present and will replenish nutrients in pot-grown specimens.Care Guide- Although self-fertile and able to produce a good crop on their own, lingonberries will yield much more heavily if planted near another plant.- Plant in well-drained, acidic soil in a sunny, sheltered spot.- If your garden soil has a pH over 5.5, your Lingonberry is best grown in a pot, in ericaceous soil. Keep it well-watered - dont allow the soil to dry out.- Water Lingonberries with rainwater if you can as tap water will gradually raise pH levels.- Feed every month with a liquid fertiliser for ericaceous (lime-hating) plants.- If growing Lingonberries in the garden, add plenty of organic matter such as pine needles or composted conifer clippings. Avoid farmyard manure as it will scorch the roots.- Pruning is rarely needed just take out any damaged, dead, and diseased wood as necessaryPlanting Time:February - NovemberFlowering Time:May - JulyFruiting Time:July - SeptemberAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

'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.
A relative of the more well-known cranberry and blueberry, the lingonberry (or cowberry as it is sometimes called) produces jewel-like, tart red fruits that are popular in Scandinavia for use in jams and syrups. While closest to the cranberry in looks, lingonberries are way more productive and reliable with more robust growth that makes them a better option for growing in the UK. Lingonberry 'Miss Cherry' is an attractive, compact variety that is also very productive. With abundant sprays of pink flowers between May and July, it's evergreen too, forming a delightful groundcover plant through the whole year. Robust with good bushy growth, it's a variety that's perfect for containers as well as the fruit garden - just plant them in a sunny or semi shaded place in ericaceous soil and get ready to enjoy the harvest from late July! Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready for immediate planting.
Picking plump, juicy figs straight from a tree is one of life's greatest pleasures, especially when served up with some wafer thin slices of Parma ham and a drizzle of honey. Divine! Boasting masses of large, pear-shaped fruit with deep red flesh that are ready for picking in late summer and early autumn, 'Little Miss Figgy' is perfect in a large pot. Even before the fruit is ripe this dwarf variety adds a presence to the garden as branches are clothed with large, deeply lobed leaves. Despite originating from warmer climates, this amazing compact fig is incredibly tough, easily shrugging off temperatures down to -15°C in the UK. Extremely drought tolerant when established, figs do best in a brightly lit, sunny spot. Keep plants productive and compact by restricting roots by growing in large pots.
