beard tongue
beard tongue was £5.99 now £4.99
Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: fertile, well-drained soilRate of growth: average Flowering period: July to OctoberHardiness: fully hardy (borderline)Elegant spikes of small, tubular, foxglove-like flowers appear from July to October among lance-shaped, bright green leaves. This easy-to-grow perennial will quickly form large, leafy clumps and is perfect for adding a splash of colour to the middle of a sunny, well-drained border. If you deadhead regularly, the flowers will persist until the first frosts. This variety is particularly free flowering, and produces lilac flowers with a metallic sheen, often flushed with red. Each one has a white throat, striped with burgundy.Garden care: Remove the faded blooms regularly to prolong flowering. Apply a dry mulch around the base of the plant to protect the roots from frost damage and cut back in spring when new shoots appear low down on the stem. Lift and divide congested clumps in spring.

Euphorbia
Euphorbia £9.99
Position: full sunSoil: light, well-drained garden soilRate of growth: fast growingFlowering period: March to MayFlower colour: chartreuse-greenOther features: fleshy grey-green leavesHardiness: fully hardy This handsome, architectural plant works well in contemporary minimalist gardens, traditional herbaceous borders and exposed coastal sites. It's easy to understand why the acclaimed Edwardian garden designer Gertrude Jekyll, described it as 'one of the grandest of plants'. Its upright stems are clothed with fleshy grey-green leaves and topped with huge clusters of chartreuse-green spring flowers. Garden care: In autumn cut back the faded flower stems, avoiding new ones. When working with spurges always wear gloves since the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant. Remove unwanted seedlings each spring as part of routine border maintenance.
