When thinking of Gypsophila, tall stems covered in tiny white flowers used in flower bouquets come to mind. But that's just one variety of this interesting and versatile perennial, which is a member of the carnation family. 'Pretty Maid', also called the Mouse-eared Gypsophila, is a compact plant which forms a neat mound of glossy mid-green, semi-evergreen oval foliage and trumpet-shaped flowers that look similar to small petunias, about 1cm across between April and June. The blooms are pure white with lovely pink veining and a delightfully sweet fragrance, appearing prolifically and standing out beautifully in contrast to the leaves. Happy in the ground and particularly attractive growing in pots, 'Pretty Maid' will thrive in sun or partial shade in soil that is a little dry as it doesn't like to grow in overly wet ground. Bees and other pollinators love this pretty Gypsophila, with its flowers being a great source of early nectar as spring gets underway. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting, reaching a height and spread of 40cm (16in).
A hardy perennial that flowers from January to April, Hellebore 'Pretty Ellen White' has beautiful white flowers with a splash of pale green, providing welcome interest to your winter garden. These beautiful blooms, each around 5cm in diameter, are incredibly tough whatever the weather and are held upwards instead of nodding downwards like most hellebores, up to 35cm above dark, leathery semi-evergreen leaves. Extremely simple to grow, hellebores will slowly establish into small clumps, thriving in lower light and shady spots. They can be grown in pots too, provided they do not dry out in summer. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant, growing to a height and spread of 35cm.

Campsis capreolata 'Tangerine Beauty' is a vigorous climbing plant that produces an abundance of vivid orange flowers over a long period from June, all the way into autumn. The large, trumpet shaped flowers have golden yellow throats and are a paler orange on the underside. Also known as the trumpet vine, this sturdy climber will happily scramble over any support, up a wall or through a tree, bringing exotic colour and height into the garden. The deciduous, lush green foliage, with leaves up to six inches long, is light green at first before darkening as the summer progresses, and turning reddish-purple in winter and provides an ideal contrasting background to the bright, lightly scented flowers. 'Tangerine Beauty' is self-clinging, using tendril to attach itself to nearby supports, so you don't need to tie it in. Growing rapidly, this climber is a spectacular sight when in full flower! Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.
