We are all familiar with the classic bay tree lollipop shape standard, but how about a completely different colour option? The fabulous golden yellow leaves of Choisya 'Sundance' (or Mexican Orange Blossom as it is sometimes called due to their small white fragrant flowers in spring), glow bright golden yellow in spring and summer, yet remain neat and tidy too. And they are ever-yellow too - they remain bright yellow all year, even in winter, so offer a real year round feature. Grown on a clear stem of about 50cm, these standard Choisya's are quite unusual, and work really well as a low maintenance feature in pairs either side of a doorway or gate.
These amazing award winning shears have twice the cutting edge of regular ones which means you trim and cut up to twice as fast and with much less effort than old-fashioned models! The Teflon coated steel outer blades cut cleanly with a precise scissor action either side of the chrome covered steel central blade in a twin-cutting action, which is not only faster than that achieved by regular shears but is also much more accurate. This is because the central blade remains still at all times, creating a directional and stabilizing guide. Specifically designed to be incredibly strong but lightweight, they have comfortably ergonomic aluminium handles as well as 'shock absorbers' to prevent jarring of your arms and wrists! The blades are rust resistant and undergo an extensive hardening process that provides extremely robust, high performance and long lasting cutting edges. Each of the blades is 23 cm or 8 inch long giving you double that as your cutting edge!
Imagine, the perfect plant to attract attention to your garden, and deserving pride of place where it can shine throughout the year. This addition to the popular 'Annabelle' series of hydrangeas has the same dramatic flowerheads but with an added bonus - gorgeous, colour-changing, pink blossom. As the buds emerge the backs of the petals are a rich shade of raspberry, so when young, the overall impression is of quite a strong pink. Then, as the buds open, they reveal a lighter upper surface, giving an overall softer shade when the flowers have opened fully. Over the course of the summer the colour becomes even paler, and eventually the big heads take on a subtle, greenish tone. The show doesn't stop there though as after the flowers have faded and fallen, a skeleton of fine filigree remains to catch the frost and sparkle in the low winter sunshine - adding to its year-round interest. Really easy to grow and a great plant for a newbie gardener, 'Sweet Annabelle' blooms on new wood, unlike older varieties which only bloom on the old, so you'll continue to bloom year on year, all throughout the summer, regardless of pruning or extreme weather. An invaluable addition to the mixed or shrub border - as well as a large patio pot - this is a hydrangea that you don't want to be without. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot.

Now you too can grow these surprisingly easy exotic looking plants too. Harvested under strict License from woodland clearance in Australia and Tasmania, these astonishing plants really will delight and amaze. They grow under the woodland canopy, in the shade, so grow them here in a sheltered spot too.

It really is amaxing how quickly your Tree Fern will grow. They are hardy down to -5 in Winter, although the fronds will die back. Keep the crown protected in Winter with a layer of straw or fleece to keep cold and wet out. When you get it home, plant it in a big pot, or in the garden soil. It takes almost 2 years to root in, so do not be alarmed by this slow growing beauty. 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.

Magnetic water conditioners have become popular for helping to reduce the amount of limescale in without the need for a power supply are any plumbing. Traditional water softeners use salt to reduce calcium carbonate in tap water, preventing pipes, taps and water tanks from becoming gradually more and more clogged with limescale. As a result, the water coming out of household taps has high salinity, which isn't good for people to drink, or plants either. The Magical Magnetiser uses neodymium magnets, which are the strongest permanent magnets commercially available, to energise the water passing through it, causing molecules to cluster together. This results in purer water but with no additional chemicals, leading to the better absorption of nutrients by plant roots. This reduces the amount of fertiliser needed whilst boosting plant growth for healthier foliage and more flowers and fruit. Easy to install with no tools required, the Magical Magnetiser simply clamps around your hose pipe and will last a lifetime with no maintenance whatsoever. Dimensions 10.5 cm (4 in) long, 6 cm (2½ in) wide with a depth of 4.5 cm (1¾ in), weight 550 g (1.2 lb).
