Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia', with its RHS AGM, is a hardy evergreen shrub with very shiny, mid-green leaves. This cherry laurel has a bushy habit with broad leaves, making it suitable for hedging, where it provides shelter for birds in winter. Its racemes of small, white and fragrant flowers attract bees in April, and the dark, cherry-like fruits that follow are popular with wildlife from summer onwards. Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia' requires little maintenance, and is happy growing in dry shade as well as full sun. Its compact form makes it particularly suitable for hedging, but it can also be grown as a specimen plant in large containers. Height: 5m (16'). Spread: 4m (13').
Also known as the Fuji Cherry, this gorgeous, compact tree will burst into flower before the leaves appear in late winter / early spring each year. They start as red buds which appear to almost dance around the branches, but then open to reveal beautiful pale-pink flowers, each with a red centre. Perfect for small garden or growing in a pot on your patio, Kojo-No-Mai even provides autumn interest when its green leaves turn from green to bright reddish / orange before falling. The statuesque form of the tree is also a joy to observe on frosty mornings when a haw-frost shows it off to its very best. Kojo-No-Mai is fully winter hardy whatever the weather and grows to just 3ft after 10 years if left un-pruned, but will be happy to receive a regular trim during early summer after flowering has finished.
Runner Bean 'Scarlet Empire' produces longer, smoother, slender pods which are stringless, but remain as early, tasty and productive as its forebear.
Moor Grass is perfect for bringing texture and movement to planting schemes. Its tall, slender flower spikes are topped with silvery-purple blooms that sway and shimmer in the summer breeze.
