A true champion in the garden! Bearded Iris Germanica 'Summer Olympics' is one of the first to flower each spring, crossing the finish line with a burst of pretty, pale-yellow, ruffled blooms that are creamy-white at the centre.
'Olympic Flame' is a delightful climbing rose that will bring colourful height to your garden, where it will be happy growing along house walls and fences and also perfect for growing up obelisks, arches and trellises. Planted in a large pot or into the ground, this rose will happily climb over any support or even through other plants and trees. Glossy, dark green toothed foliage provides a backdrop for the abundant clusters lovely, single or semi-double red flowers that carry a light fragrance. This is a repeat flowering rose, so it'll bloom from June and throughout the year until the autumn. Supplied as a freshly potted, professional quality plant in a 3L pot.
This vigorous plant grows to 2 metres in next to no time, so it's no wonder it is known as the Olympian Mullein! It brings almost instant impact, bearing butter-yellow blooms all the way up its tall, magnificent stems, which grow from basal foliage of silver, felted leaves. Verbascum olympicum is fairly short lived, usually blooming in its third year and dying after its fabulous display. However, it spreads its seeds generously so new plants will replace the old. It thrives in hot, dry conditions and grows well in poor soil, requiring little maintenance. Height: 2m (6.6'). Spread: 60m (24).
