Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May Flower colour: red Other features: excellent cut-flowers Hardiness: fully hardy Bulb size: 11/12 A wonderful tall tulip that is a really luscious shade of burgundy. It looks great when teamed up with other bruised tones, or just planted in great swathes throughout the border. The fringed petals give the flowers an interesting silhouette. Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.

Lathyrus odoratus ‘Midnight’ (spencer sweet pea seed Midnight) was £2.99 now £1.49
Position: full sun Soil: fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: June to September Flower colour: deep wine red Other features: well scented flowers Hardiness: hardy annual Larger than average, dark maroon flowers, which look almost black in certain lights, appear in clusters early in the season. Their long stems and sweet perfume make them ideal for cutting and adding to fresh arrangements. All the sweet-peas in our trial produced significantly better plants when the seeds were sown in autumn rather than spring. Garden care: From October to late February, sow seeds into deep pots or root trainers filled with a good-quality seed compost and place them in a cold frame. Pinch out the tips as the plants grow to encourage them to become bushier and produce more flowers, and harden off before planting out in early April. Direct sowings can also be made in October or March-April. It is important to remove the faded flowers before they set seed, so picking them to fill a vase inside will only encourage more to form. Sow: October-April Flowering: June-September Approximate quantity: 20 seeds.

Cercidiphyllum japonicum (katsura tree) £29.99
Position: sun or partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flower colour: insignificant red flowers Other features: fallen leaves smell of burnt sugar when crushed Hardiness: fully hardy Small, rounded leaves are flushed pink when young, turning bright green in summer. The autumnal foliage is superb, turning orange, red and yellow, though trees usually colour better on moist, acidic soils. It is stunning planted as a specimen in the lawn, either with a single trunk or as a broader tree of several stems. 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.
