The world's first Hardy Gerbera in a range of bright, zingy neon colours, the Garvinea series was originally launched to great acclaim across Europe. Bringing the popular florists' gerbera flowers to a garden perennial, they give an amazing 7 months of colour from spring to autumn every year - not many plants can do that! Well, now they have got even better. The breeders in Holland who created them have developed an improved series with much bigger flowers, and even longer lasting performance. called the 'Sweet Series', we are delighted to be able to bring you some of the limited stock. Retaining the same benefits of being winter hardy to around -8°C (although avoid severe winter wet), and flowering for 3 seasons of colour, their highly distinctive flowers simply keep coming - up to 50 on a 2-year-old plant. We love them in traditional terracotta pots, in the sun, or grown in well-drained borders at the front, where they will amaze you with their persistence of flowering and sheer flower number. In winter they are herbaceous, so die back completely underground, to emerge bigger and better next year. In this collection you will receive: 2 x 'Sweet Glow' - Deep orange daisy like booms. 2 x 'Sweet Smile' - Tall stems with gorgeous warm honey yellow flowers. 2 x 'Sweet Spice' - Strikingly bright magenta purple blooms. Supplied as 6 established plants in 7cm pots, ready to plant out.

'Sweet Seduction' is one of the Seduction series of mophead hydrangeas, bred in China to be naturally compact and prolifically flowering. Beautifully textured pale pink blooms with ruffled edges are borne on large, extravagant flower heads carried on strong stems from June to October, a stunning sight and as summer passes they gradually change colour to purple tinted with green. The foliage is mid-green and heavily toothed, adding yet more texture to this already wonderfully tactile shrub, and autumn turns the leaves to a soft, creamy yellow. Seduction hydrangeas are ideal for growing in large pots and make spectacular feature plants on patios, terraces and balconies, and they're also magnificent in borders, where they're large enough to make and impact but won't take over. The large flower heads consist of sterile coloured bracts which look like flowers and make fantastic cut flowers for both summer colour and dried winter arrangements. Also, they can be left on the plant during the winter, where they'll make a home for overwintering insects and look great during frosty weather. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting, growing to a height and spread of 1.5m (5ft).
