The round, pale green leaves are bronze-tinted when young. This popular, red water lily is one of our recommended plants, since it’s ideal for a small pond. It is best planted at a depth of 45-75cm (18-30in). The shade cast by the foliage also helps to check the spread of algae.Garden care: Plant firmly in a hessian-lined aquatic planting basket filled with aquatic compost. Apply a 2.5cm (1in) top-dressing of pea shingle or gravel to prevent the top layer of the planting medium from clouding the water. The crown of the plant should protrude slightly above the surface of the planting basket. Raise the basket on bricks when the plant is young, gradually lowering them as the plant matures, so that the leaves float on the surface.

10 old fashioned sweet peas £12.99

The sweet peas plants will then be despatched to you during April as they become ready. If you want other items on your order delivered beforehand, select split delivery in the wheelbarrow when placing your order.The sweet pea was introduced to the UK in 1699 when a Sicilian monk, Francis Cupani, sent seeds of this fragrant annual to Dr Robert Uvedale, a teacher from Enfield, Middlesex. Thanks to its gorgeous scent the sweet pea gained popularity throughout the centuries. Over four hundred years later the range of colours has increased enormously, but many of the modern varieties lack the scent of their older uncles and aunts.This collection of rare, old fashioned sweet peas contains ten plants in individual, 8cm pots from a selection of the following varieties:America – bred in 1896 has flowers white striped with redAnnie B Gilroy – cerise blooms and was bred in 1909Apricot Sprite – attractive shades of glowing apricotCountess Cadogan – bred in 1899 is violet and blue bicolour flowersCream Southbourne – luscious cream flowersCupanis Original – the original plant from 1699, has purple and blue bicolour flowersHenry Eckford – bred in 1906 has bright orange bloomsJanet Scott – bright pink flowers and was bred in 1903Lord Nelson – bred in 1907 has flowers of navy blueMrs Collier – bred in 1907 has cream bloomsMatucana – maroon and purple flowers introduced into the UK in 1699Painted Lady – lovely pink and white bicoloured flowers and was bred in 1737Prima Dona – pink self-hooded flowers and was bred in 1896Violet Queen – bred in 1877 has violet self-hooded flowersWinston Churchill – rich crimson red bloomsPrincess Elizabeth – salmon pink with creamy buff bloomsMrs R.

Each plant will have been cut back once so that you get a nice, bushy plant that should be at least 15cm (6in) tall.Plant Care: To make sure you keep the plants in top condition spray regularly with a fungicide as all sweet peas are prone to mildew and feed with a high potash, such as Tomorite for plenty of flowers. Don’t forget to keep cutting the flowers so that you get plenty more! Please note that the individual plants are not labelled, and as Sweet Pea the annuals, they will only last for one summer

Try it in small groups in the middle of a herbaceous or mixed border, and plant low-growing perennials in front to hide the ‘legs’ of the plant.
