Ideal for a pot or smaller space in sun or dappled shade, this is a honeysuckle that anyone can grow, whatever the size of your garden!

Even when not in flower, this is a honeysuckle to covet - its glorious red stems provide the perfect contrast to the elliptical blue-green leaves and as a semi-evergreen it will hold its own in the garden for longer.

Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready for planting straight out.
Perfect as a hedging or specimen plant, Fagus sylvatica 'Atropunicea' is a purple beech which will certainly stand out from the normal greens in your garden. With gorgeous year-round interest, the deep purple leaves of this beech tree retain their colour throughout the year before turning crisp and brown in the winter - staying on the tree until new leaves star tto emerge in the spring.

Such is its popularity, beech is frequently used in garden design and was a particular favourite of the garden designer Capability Brown in his landscape designs. As well as creating a border or feature in your garden, beech is also great for the environment and a haven for wildlife, providing shelter and food for many animals. Supplied as an established plant in a 1L pot, Beech will ultimately reach 25 - 30m, but is so easy to keep small by pruning that it can be grown in most gardens.
