Long Cane Raspberries are your opportunity to benefit from a massive breakthrough in Raspberry fruit production! Raspberries usually produce their fruit on the previous year's growth of canes. However, they are often sold in garden centres cut back as short canes - great value, but you have to wait an extra year for fruit. Now, with Long Canes you will get fruit in the first season, because they have not been cut back - they are harvested at about 1m or taller and will fruit this summer. A great garden variety, not too vigorous, yet fruiting early to mid-season in July and August and producing good bright red sweet fruits. You will get around a pound of fruit or more per cane for 4-5 years. These raspberries will fruit on the full length of the canes you receive so do not prune them down when you plant them! If space is at a premium, grow them in large pots in a wigwam form it will look great and also produce massive amounts or fruit in the minimum of space! Otherwise, plant in rows about 60cm (2ft) apart, using supporting wires for easier fruit picking. Take advantage of new Long Cane Raspberry production techniques for bigger and quicker crops. Supplied as Long-Canes, approx. 85-100cm tall which means you will get fruit this year!
Helianthus 'Sunbelievable (TM)' is just that - a plant with truly unbelievable flower power! The first ever-blooming annual sunflower, it certainly packs a punch with hundreds of gloriously golden sunflowers each with a mahogany centre 'eye'. You'll be amazed how it just blooms and blooms and blooms - from early summer right up until the first frosts. A multiple-branching sunflower, the large, golden-yellow flowers are 8-10cm (3-4in) across and are held above richly coloured foliage that deepens in hue over time, really setting the garden aflame with dazzling tones and sizzling exuberance. Supplied as a large plant in a 3L pot - the largest size currently available - in bud and ready to be planted up, this is a superb value-for-money plant - we've joked that if a plant was on steroids, this would be the result! 'Sunbelievable (TM)' is perfect for growing in containers or in flower borders, where this new introduction produces an abundance of pollen-free flowers on multi-branched stems, so you'll have more than enough to bring into your home! As well as many international awards, Helianthus 'Sunbelievable (TM)' picked up third place finalist in the prestigious 2018 RHS Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year Competition, proving that it has what it takes to make a garden winner. With a long flowering season - non-stop from May until the first frosts - it's reliable, robust and easy to grow, so is ideal for first-time gardeners and seasoned veterans alike! With the promise of over 1,000 blooms in a year, one of our growers at the nursery said he gave up counting at 1,000 in July...so we know first-hand that it has the potential for truly unbelievable garden performance all summer long. And the secret to the success of this amazing plant? Well that's down to its inability to set seed - a good thing if you don't want to be constantly weeding out unwanted seedlings - but also it means that all of the plant's energy goes into flower production - win-win if you ask us! Growing to a height and spread of 60cm (2ft), 'Sunbelievable' will behave itself and not seed everywhere which makes it a perfect low maintenance plant for any gardener.
A native of the tropical regions of South America, Peperomia make wonderful houseplants in the UK. Peperomia 'Raindrop Feel Green' is a striking, compact variety with beautiful dark green, glossy leaves which loves bright and warm conditions and appreciates additional humidity either from regular misting or by standing in a tray of wet pebbles. The heart shaped leaves have a lush, succulent look to them and as 'Raindrop Feel Green' is naturally compact and only grow to 30cm, it's ideal on a desk or windowsill, away from direct sunlight. As the plant matures it produces unusual and interesting looking flowers that look a little like mouse tails, but Peperomia is grown mainly for its wonderfully attractive leaves. Slow growing in very easy to care for, it'll need virtually no maintenance apart from the removed of faded leaves and flowers, and regular feeding and watering. Supplied as a potted plant in a 14cm nursery pot, growing to a height and spread of 30cm (1ft).
A new and exciting development in succulent breeding that is taking the gardening world by storm. The 'Pineapple Express' is a fascinating cross between the Manfreda and the Agave, Mangaves are becoming increasingly popular as the interest in Xeric landscaping grows - the process of gardening that reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental moisture from watering. Manfredas have rosettes of coloured leaves branching from a very short stem, often with creamy, tubular flowers at the end of a long stalk. Agaves on the other hand are well known for their strong succulent leaves that form large rosettes. These interesting hybrids combine the best features of both types: the better growth rate and the interesting patterns and colours of Manfreda, and the habit and refinement of Agave. Varieties can be spotted, blotched or plain green in various shades and with an interesting texture, they can be a bit pointy, but not as prickly as a cactus. Some of the varieties have interesting leaf shape too, from slim and long to short and broad and wavy or straight too. The 'Pineapple Express' is a beautifully spotted Mangave with light green leaves that during the summer months come to life when the colours are heighten thanks to the sun. Compact in growth and visually stunning, Mangaves make a perfect patio plant, sitting happily in a pot through the summer on your decking or balcony, they will then make a perfect houseplant through the winter in a bright room. All varieties should be watered only sparingly as they are ideally suited to dessert, arid conditions and are lovers of warm temperatures - they make an ideal specimen for a greenhouse or as a houseplant for bright rooms - indeed anything less than 65°F will result in the plant becoming dormant. Supplied as an established plant in a 19cm pot, ready to plant.
If you want to grow something different, then this is the plant for you! The Yellow Bird of Paradise (Caesalpinia gillesii), is a bushy shrub with a profusion of snapdragon-like flowers dripping with orange-red tassels. Caesalpinia goes by several other names, including the Desert Bird of Paradise and Crimson Threadflower - which give a hint to its drought tolerance and beautiful flowers. The yellow flowers reach around 2.5cm (1in) and are extended further, sometimes by as much as 7.5cm (3in), by the showy stamens which are produced on erect stems 15-30 (6-12in) long. The blooms are a favourite with humming birds in its native South America. Rarely sold or grown in the UK, Martin discovered it on a Spanish Nursery on a trip there recently, and bought all we were allowed to. With fine feathery foliage, like an Acacia, this bird of paradise (which incidentally is not related to the Strelitzia), is borderline hardy in the UK, so we advise protecting from frost in winter. Grow it in large pots in a sunny position, and enjoy its amazing flower displays in late summer. Caesaplinia easy to care for and generally problem free - plants under glass may need a restrictive prune after the first flush of flowers.
Hibiscus are amongst the most exotic looking flowers that you can grow. Their large, brightly coloured flowers are reminiscent of holidays in warmer climes, but there are plenty of varieties that grow just as well in the UK! Hibiscus 'Ardens' is a spectacular deciduous shrub with lush green, toothed leaves and unbelievably exotic looking, huge bright pink double flowers which have a red splash at the base of each petal. Best grown in a sunny spot, hibiscus are surprisingly tough and hardy and with their late summer flowers they're perfect for extending the season in your garden. You'll be enjoying the stunning flowers right into autumn, as other shrubs are fading away. Great for growing in borders and spectacular as an eye-catching specimen in a patio container, bringing a touch of the Mediterranean to your garden. Supplied as an established plant is a 19cm pot, ready to plant and growing to a height and spread of 2m (6½ft).
Also known as 'Fire and Ice' Hydrangea paniculata 'Wim's Red' is a beautiful hydrangea that whilst in bloom, will change colour throughout the seasons. Perfect for growing in sunny borders, it could grow as tall as 2 meters and its strong stems can carry gorgeous clusters of flowers that reach 30cm long. Its beautiful blooms, that have been described as having chameleon-like tendencies, emerge green-white and take on a pink hue as they age, becoming a shade of dark red as the seasons progress. Coming into flower from late May and lasting well into October the faded flowers can remain on the plant right through the winter bringing extended interest right through to winter. Easy to grow and hardy right down to -25°C, this is a hydrangea suitable for anyone to grow and it will even double as a houseplant for the spring - just remember that ultimately it prefers to be outside. Supplied as an established plant in a 19cm pot, ready for immediate planting.
