Rose pink and crimson blooms cover the length of its vigorous stems throughout the summer giving a sumptuous display, making it ideal to grow up fences, walls and trellises. While the stems are strong, so vigorous is the growth that Pink Fizz may need some support in windy areas. Flowering from June through till first frosts of late autumn, in milder winters it will keep its leaves on, and in colder ones lose its leaves and shoot again from the base the next season. A stunning new type of Fuchsia, and so easy to grow, 'Pink Fizz' lets you grow hardy fuchsias in ways you had never considered - as a hedge, at the back of a border, or for screening off unsighlty parts of the garden.

Carpinus betulus, or as it is more commonly known, 'Hornbeam' is a fantastic tree that will provide you with interest all year long.

Hornbeams have gorgeous, glossy green leaves during spring that give way to coppery leaves in winter, retaining its leaves all year round. You can also plant your hornbeam to create a border to your garden, as hedges are also great for the environment and wildlife, providing shelter and food supplies for many animals. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

One of the nation's favourite early spring plants, Camellias are, when given the right conditions, very straightforward and problem free. Providing fabulous displays of flowers when almost every other plant is still asleep for winter, they're ideal for giving a bold splash of colour when the garden is quite drab - plus they're fabulous in pots where they can be moved to any part of your garden. The key to success with Camellias is they need acidic soils - like Rhododendrons. This means they can easily be grown in pots in ericaceous composts, and provided they are fed with specialist ericaceous feed, will provide many years of colour and interest. They are evergreen, and their neat, shiny tough leaves will provide a backdrop to other plants all year. Flower buds start swelling late the previous summer, and keep getting bigger all autumn and winter, until they burst open in early spring. The flowers can be caught by frosts when they are opening, but the buds are generally fine, and the plant is 100% hardy and tough. Supplied as one pink-flowered plant, 20-40cm tall and in bud.
Otherwise known as 'Glory Flower', 'Pink Diamond' is an easy-care choice for summer interest in your garden borders or in pots on your patio.

Flowering from August to September, the fragrant blooms are a magnet for bees and butterflies. Compact at about 1.2m (4ft) height and spread, it is tailor-made for larger pots as well as smaller garden borders and shrubberies, in sun or partial shade. This half-hardy, deciduous shrub is easy to care for, requiring only a little trimming in the autumn to keep it tidy. It will require protection from the worst of the winter weather, so mulch around the base of the plant if in the ground, or move container-grown plants to a conservatory or greenhouse during the winter. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready to plant.
