The flowers come in a variety of colours including white, pinks, oranges and reds and are highly-attractive to bees. The mid green foliage has a delicious lemon scent. Perfect for adding some late summer and autumn colour to a sunny border.Garden care: Avoid the temptation to cut back the faded flower-stems in autumn since they provide interest in the winter months. Lift and divide congested colonies in spring.

This stunning new collection of designer wellies are all hand-made from 100 percent rubber and have an orthopaedic sole for comfort.We recommend you order a size larger than you would do normally. We have found that they are a little on the snug side. Fine if you have delicate ankles, no instep and never wear socks, but if not – you need the next size up.

Position: partial shadeSoil: fertile, moist, well-drained neutral to acid soilRate of growth: slow-growingFlowering period: April to MayOther features: red winged fruit in late summerHardiness: fully hardyThe beautiful, deciduous foliage of this small, round-headed tree is attractively lobed and turns from its usual mid green in autumn to take on shades on yellow, orange and red before it falls. In late spring tiny purple-red flowers are borne in small pendulous clusters and are followed in late summer by charming winged fruits, which float down from the branches when they are ripe.Garden care: Add a top dressing of a multi-purpose fertiliser around the base of the plant in late spring. No routine pruning is required, just remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when they are fully dormant.
