With its thin, flat texture, slate is a beautiful alternative to more traditional gravel. This recycled Welsh slate is completely natural and lime free and changes colour when it gets wet from lilac grey to wonderfully shiny shades of purple and plum, creating a clean, modern look, however you choose to use it around your home and garden. It looks fantastic as a top dressing for pots and planters both indoors and out, especially for architectural specimen plants, and will help to retain moisture and supress weeds too. It's also fish friendly, so it can be used in aquariums, ponds and water features without the danger of it altering the pH or anything leaching out that could upset the delicate balance of the water. These larger-size slate chippings are naturally roughly edged and graded to be about 40 mm long, with varying widths. They make a great colour and texture contrast when used as an edging for slabbed or decked patios and are also suitable for pathways, becoming wonderfully reflective in wet weather. Although the slate is prewashed and ready to use, we recommend that it is washed again before aquatic use. As a guide, one bag of slate will cover 50 cm² (20 in²) at a depth of 25 mm (1 in). Supplied as a 20 kg bag.
Plum 'Victoria' & 'Czar' Duo Tree - Now everyone can grow fruit trees in the minimum of space! These incredible duo fruit trees have been meticulously grafted by highly skilled nurserymen, to create 2 different trees growing on one rootstock! What's more, the rootstocks are dwarfing meaning that your trees will always remain compact! You will get 2 different varieties of fruit from 1 tree so are perfect for anyone who loves the idea of picking their own home-grown fresh fruit but has limited space. Each of the varieties will produce bumper crops of delicious full-sized fruit! Because they are already trained into a V shape, they are perfect for growing up a wall. Plum 'Victoria' - Named in honour of the much-loved British queen, 'Victoria' Plum is the UK's favourite plum variety by a mile and deservedly so! The delicious fruits are ready to pick each July and taste simply mouth-watering when eaten straight from the tree. With the remaining fruit you can make jams and preserves, and, of course, eat them stewed with custard! Plum 'Czar' - Pretty, dark-blue fruits that look wonderful as they ripen on the tree in August each year, following its attractive and fragrant white blossom, providing a wonderful spectacle throughout spring and summer. The delicious fruits have a brilliant acidic sharpness when picked early, so they are perfect for cooking plum puddings or jam - making 'Czar' one of the most popular cooking varieties around. Both plum varieties on this duo tree are fully deserving their coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. Supplied as grower-quality bare-root duo fruit tree with two varieties grafted on to dwarfing rootstocks.
A superb summer patio plant, adding a tropical flavour to your garden or patio - their clear sky-blue flower clusters smother this informal, scrambling shrub, which works well in large pots with cane supports. Grow outside all summer, it will need winter protection, as can be damaged below 2°C, but will regrow away from the base the following year when it warms up again. In warmer parts of the country, especially in sheltered towns, plumbago will grow as an herbaceous perennial, dying down to ground level before reshooting in late spring. The clusters of phlox-like flowers are subtly scented and will attract butterflies and hoverflies into your garden, making them a great plant for wildlife. Also known by its common name of Cape Leadwort, Plumbago is named from the Latin word plumbum, meaning lead, as it was believed to be a cure for lead poisoning. A great colour addition for summer long colour, and unusual too as it is seldom offered for sale. Supplied as an established plant in a 1.5L pot, ready to pot on.
This spreading, deciduous shrub brings welcome colour to the garden in late summer and early autumn when many other flowers have gone over. Masses of disc-shaped, vivid blue flowers appear from August to October, complimenting the green stems and leaves with their purple margins. These leaves turn russet-red and orange and look spectacular with each fiery shoot ending in a bunch of these cobalt-blue blooms. The Chinese plumbago is a sub-shrub and is partway between a shrub and a perennial where in some years it dies right down to the ground while in others, the top growth stays all winter, making a framework for the following year. Originally a Chinese native, the flowers have the same round form as plumbago - hence Chinese plumbago - and it's best planted towards the front of a sheltered, sunny border in soil that does not get too dry. 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. Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, Chinese Plumbago will reach approximately 1m (3ft 3in) tall x 1.5m (5ft) wide.
We are delighted to be able to offer the joys of the nation's favourite Plum 'Victoria', but small enough for EVERY garden! Now anyone can grow juicy, fresh Vic's, even on a balcony, terrace, or small patio. Clever fruit tree grower Will Sibley has teamed the ever-popular best-selling 'Victoria' with a very dwarfing and compact new VVA1 rootstock, which removes most of the vigour that can sometimes be the downfall of plums. It's like someone has shrunk the tree - smaller in every way, except the fruit, which is just as big and juicy as the normal variety. It still produces lovely pure white spring blossom displays, and is self-fertile, so no other plums needed for fruit - just leave the bees to do their thing! Perfect in large patio pots (minimum 30cm diameter) for 5 years or so, it produces big, juicy crops of classic red Victoria Plums, yet stays small, manageable, and perfect for everyone. Supplied as an established plant in a 4.5L pot, ready to plant out.
Named in honour of the much-loved British queen, Victoria Plum is the UK's favourite plum variety by a mile - and deservedly so! The delicious fruits are ready to pick each July and taste simply mouthwatering when eaten straight from the tree. With the remaining fruit you can make jams and preserves, and, of course, eat them stewed with custard! Having been discovered in Alderton, Sussex, in 1844, and grown and enjoyed by gardeners every year since, Victoria really has stood the test of time - undoubtedly because of its sublime flavour and productivity. Fruits are ready to pick each July and taste simply mouthwatering straight from the tree. A fully established tree of this self-fertile variety will produce up to 100lb of fruit in a bumper season! Supplied as an 80-110cm tree on dwarfing rootstock in a 5L pot.
Originally grown in France in the mid-19th century, and often known by it's French name 'Reine Clauide d'Oullins', the 'Oullin's Golden Gage' is a great, self-fertile, garden variety for anyone to grow. It prefers warmer weather than apples or pears, so will fruit later in the year, producing its attractive, golden-yellow, red-specked fruits in abundance in late summer. Very much sweeter and juicier than typical plums, it is a real sweet treat plucked fresh from the tree. There is no greater pleasure than picking a plump, juicy plum straight from your own tree and popping it straight into your mouth! The firm, aromatic flesh is packed full of sweet fruitiness and the juice will delight your tastebuds! If you can resist eating them all, these versatile fruits are perfect for use in cooking, and will freeze well for using later.
