Chionanthus retusus (Chinese fringe tree) £29.99
Position: full sun Soil: any fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to August Flower colour: white Hardiness: fully hardy This wonderful plant will form a vase-shaped, multi-stemmed shrub, or by removing some of the lower branches while it is still young, you can train it to look more tree-like, with a short main stem. However you decide to grow it, you will be rewarded with glossy green leaves, and in summer, upright clusters of spidery, white flowers, which have a good scent. Throughout the winter when the stems are bare, the deeply furrowed and peeling bark adds further interest. A magnificent and rarely seen specimen. Garden care: Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.

Nymphaea ‘Large White’ (water lily) £17.99
Position: full sun Depth of water: 75-120cm (30-48in) Rate of growth: average Ultimate spread: 120cm (48in) Height above surface: 0-10cm (0-4in) Flowering period: June to September Hardiness: fully hardy From summer through to autumn, stunning, fragrant, white, goblet- shaped flowers appear with bright yellow stamens and young bronzed leaves that turn pea-green with age. This large water lily is best grown at a planting depth of 75-120cm (30-48in). It needs plenty of space, so makes an excellent choice for a lake or large, deep, wildlife pond, where the dark green leaves create a shady underwater habitat for native fish and amphibians. 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.

Very free-flowering and compact, it is well-suited to a large pot.

Clematis Viennetta (‘Evipo006’) (PBR) (clematis (group 3)) £14.99

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Unique’ (hydrangea) £13.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: August – October Flower colour: white fading to pink Other features: the flower-heads work well in dried flower arrangements Hardiness: fully hardy This beautiful cultivar is very similar to H. paniculata ‘Grandiflora’, but it has larger flowerheads and slightly more vigorous growth. Its name refers to the unique shape of the flower clusters, which are very broad at their base and rounded at the tip. Each white flower is reasonably large and will develop pink tones as they age. It can be trained to form a single stemmed specimen, but it is more commonly grown as a multi-stemmed shrub. It will provide lashings of late summer and autumn colour, and can even be used to form an informal, flowering hedge. Garden care:To enhance flowering prune hard in early spring, cutting back the previous season’s shoots to within a few buds of the permanent, woody framework of the plant.

Clematis ‘Shikoo’ (clematis (group 2)) £12.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: May to June and August to September Hardiness: fully hardy Purple-blue double flowers with large outer petals and a ruff of shorter petals at their centre, appear from late spring. In late summer a second flush may appear, but at this stage the flowers only bear a single row of larger petals. Their rich colour mixes well with deep pinks and plum, and they make particularly good partners for roses. Garden care: Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring, cutting all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
