Also known as a snakebark Maple, the Japanese Maple Acer palmatum 'Phoenix' is a dazzling ornamental tree, noted for its bright red young stems. In winter, the bright red shoots have been likened to the red-stemmed dogwoods which are renowned for their amazing seasonal colour, and the bark on older stems is striped silvery white, which accentuates their red colouring even further. The perfect addition to any garden looking to bring in some vibrant colour, 'Phoenix' is definitely one of the most striking of the snakebark maples, and its natural vigour makes it easy to grow and reliable. With a kaleidoscope of colour through the year, new leaves emerge tinted pink and develop a green-veined middle before turning a golden-yellow in the autumn. In addition, its tiny yellow flowers are followed by winged, sycamore-like fruits in early summer. Supplied as an established young tree in a 9cm pot, ready to be potted on or planted out. Mature plants will reach up to 6m and prefer a partially shaded spot in well-draining soil.

A natural, light-coloured expanding wooden trellis for supporting climbing plants and vegetables. Ideal for all climbing plants, this easily installed trellis can be mounted onto a wall and is perfect for adding detail and height to any part of your garden . Alternatively use it to fence off flower beds or to separate areas of garden. A simple framework of crossing pieces, a trellis is a flat support that is used to train plants such as shrubs, small or young trees, climbers and vines up and against something. They're particularly useful for getting plants to grow upwards, to make the most of available space. Trellis can also be used as an accent piece, as a divider or as a privacy screen. Typically, a trellis is an open framework so that plants can be tied on to or woven through. You can make a trellis yourself, but why bother when this one is already made up for you in the correct dimensions? Remember that a trellis needs to be strong enough to support the weight of plants as they grow and mature, and durable enough to withstand the elements - which is just what you get with this cost-effective piece of gardening magic!

Scilla campanulata Blue, better known as the Spanish bluebell, is a long-standing favourite that will strike a cheerful note in your garden in spring. It produces clumps of lavender-blue, bell-shaped flowers, each with a centre of pretty blue anthers and a darker hue to the petal spines. Flowers grow around the whole stems, which are tubular and upright. Blooming in April and into May, these hardy bulbs can create an enchanting carpet of nodding blue flowers when naturalised in drifts through grassy or wooded areas. They are equally effective as underplanting for hedges or shrubs, or for adding interest to borders before summer interest appears. Scilla campanulata Blue is also ideal for growing in containers and makes a beautiful cut flower. Fully hardy, resilient and easy to grow, the bulbs form clumps with a height and spread of up to 45cm. By early to mid-summer, the foliage dies back and the plants lie dormant through autumn and winter, re-emerging the following spring in ever-greater numbers. The clumps produce small offsets, which can be divided and replanted in the summer to encourage a wider spread or for populating new areas. Best planted in groups, combine your Scilla campanulata Blue with bright yellow daffodils for a wonderful contrast. Supplied as a pack of 20 bulbs, size 6/7 ready for planting in autumn.
