One of the finest shrubs you can grow for spectacular winter colour from both leaves and red berries - this is a plant that should be in everyone's winter garden. Also known as the sacred or heavenly bamboo, Nandina is totally winter-hardy and tough as old boots! With a bamboo-like habit, several upright stems emerge from a tight clump of leaves which in spring and summer is mid-green with the odd reddish or purplish tinge on new shoots. It produces small white star shaped flowers, but it really comes into its own as the temperatures drop in autumn. The leaves turn spectacular bonfire red and bronze, perfect for Halloween and autumn colour, and keep getting darker red as it gets colder. The flowers have given way to berries, much like our own much-loved holly, which themselves get redder and redder too, so the whole plant is a frenzy of colour in full winter. Great as a specimen in a pot, so you can move it near the door to lift your spirits on dark days, or equally at home in the soil in a mixed border planting. In Japan, it is traditionally grown near a door, so if you awake from a nightmare, you can tell your Nandina about your dream so that it cannot harm you. Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots ready for planting out or potting into your favourite container.
This fantastic architectural banana plant will create a great impact in any garden! Forming a dense bush with huge paddle fan-like leaves spreading gloriously out through the air, it will create wonderful shadows on your patio. Once established, the big leaves will unfurl as they emerge each year through the central trunk, and within 3-4 years you will have leaves over 1m long. Hailing from Japan, it loves sunshine but it is hardy to -6°C when protected with fleece over winter - outside it is frost tender and will not survive being frozen. This Japanese Hardy Banana is brilliant if planted into a large pot and will create a real tropical feel to your garden. Supplied as an established plant, approx. 30cm tall in a 1L pot, although can be a little larger on dispatch as they grow rapidally as the temperatures warm. Note - it does not actually produce edible bananas in the UK, it is a close cousin of comemrcial bananas, but they do not grow here in UK climates. Grow it for its huge impact and size as a tropcial foliage plant.

Also known as Heavenly Bamboo, Nandina will bring bright and dazzling colour to your borders or patio pots. Nandina is totally invaluable during the winter when there's little colour around. Not unlike a colourful version of our own native holly, Nandina has a bushy upright habit, with toothpick-straight stems making it an excellent candidate for containers - and this variety, 'Lemon and Lime' has gorgeous bright yellowy-green leaves that will turn into a brighter shade of lime green as times goes on. As it's evergreen, Nandina retains its foliage throughout the year and depending on where you plant it. In a bright and sunny spot, the foliage will take on much brighter tones, however, if you plant yours in a shaded area, the green of 'Lemon and Limes' leaves will take on a deeper and darker tone. They are super easy to grow - just plant yours in your desired spot and leave it to shine. Supplied as and established plant in a 17cm pot, ready to pot on or plant out.
