Imagine a dazzling, hardy, variegated lavender, perfect to bring your borders and containers to life with very little fuss and maintenance. Well let us introduce you to our newest beauty, the luscious lavender 'Platinum Blonde'. With her classic blue, fragrant flowers set above brightly variegated leaves, Platinum Blonde is an unusual, must-have colour combination for your garden this year. The blue-grey leaves are edged in creamy yellow and this contrasts magnificently with the flowers, making them 'pop' to provide colour, scent and form to your garden - she really does have everything! The perfect lavender to cope with most things that the British weather will throw at it - Platinum Blonde tolerates cold and wet as long as she's planted in free-draining soil and it simply revels in heat and drought - something that we may need to get used to in the future! Use Lavender Blonde to make an eye-catching specimen plant on a balcony or terrace or add her to mixed containers or into borders for amazing summer-long displays. And you don't just have to take our word for it - Platinum Blonde has won a multitude of notable awards - even before being nominated for the RHS Chelsea Plant of the Year: The innovation prize for the best new perennial introduction at IPM Germany - the world's biggest, premier plant and horticultural show. Bronze medal in the Innovation Competition at Plantarium - one of Holland's largest exhibitions for perennials. IBERflora Spain - awarded the best plant innovation of the show! Supplied as an established plant in a 12cm pot, ready to plant out, Lavender 'Platinum Blonde' flowers in summer and stays compact with an eventual height of 40-50cm and width of 50cm.
Quite possibly one of the most unmistakable of all the climbing plants and sure to get your garden noticed, Actinidia kolomikta is a vigorous, deciduous climber with twining stems and leaves that look as though they have been dipped in paint. Beautifully fragrant flowers are also produced in summer, giving you an added bonus. Also known as the kolomikta vine or variegated hardy kiwi, actinidia is grown specifically for its heart-shaped leaves which are splashed with a generous helping of pink and white and make a particularly striking feature when grown against a sunny wall or the side of a house. A fast-growing plant once established, this vine is easy to grow and look after. Actinidia can be kept compact if needed and is easy to prune as mature branches tend to remain just a few inches thick so maintenance is not a chore. A good choice for covering ugly fences and walls as this ornamental climber is densely leaved and soon covers the offending structure. Young plants tend not to have the attractive variegation so don't worry if your plant remains green for a few seasons, the colour will eventually develop. 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 9cm pot, will grow to 8m x 8m in approx 10 years. Do bear in mind that young plants need to be protected from cats as they are attracted to the leaves and will quickly decimate them! (just google 'cats and actinidia' and see for yourself!) NB plants are dormant September - March so supplied as a bare plant with no leaves.
