Camellia ‘Spring Festival’ (camellia) £19.99
Position: partial or full shade Soil: moist but well-drained, humus-rich, acid soil (or ericaceous compost for container-grown specimens) Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: February to April Hardiness: fully hardy The slightly glaucous foliage of this lovely camellia will look good all through the year, but it is from late winter to mid-spring, when it produces lots of small, double flowers in fine shades of pink, that this evergreen shrub will be most highly prized. A handsome addition to the shrub border, it has upright, pillar-like growth, so won’t dominate its neighbours. Garden care: To prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.

Daphne gemmata (syn. Wikstroemia gemmata) £19.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Flowering period: May to July Hardiness: borderline hardy (may need winter protection) One of our newest finds (and still quite a rare find here in the UK), this compact deciduous shrub originates from China, where it is found growing at forest edges. It has a bushy habit with lustrous green leaves, and pretty clusters of yellow flowers, which appear from late spring to summer. These flowers are sought after by bees and are followed by red fruits in late summer. Garden care: Keep pruning to a minimum since the plant is very susceptible to die-back. Where necessary after flowering, lightly trim back to remove misplaced branches and maintain a compact habit.

Included in the kit is a pink enamel metal planter, compost and 3 tubers of begonia ‘Mothers Day’. The double white flowers of this begonia have a faint pink blush, which is more pronounced on the outermost petals. Forming an arching cascade of colour, it will add long-lasting colour to a partially shaded spot, particularly if the spent flowers are deadheaded regularly. Growing Instructions: Empty the contents of the compost into the container and moisten. Plant tubers so the hollow part is uppermost, slightly bedding them into the compost. Keep them in a bright, frost-free spot , keeping the compost moist but not waterlogged. When all frosts have passed, place outside in a partially shaded spot. Deadheading the faded flowers will encourage more to form.

Growing Instructions: Place two thirds of the compost into each pot and place bulbs on top (pointy side up). Cover with the remaining compost and water sparingly, so the soil is just moist. Place them on a warm, sunny windowsill, water occasionally (avoid overwatering) and rotate the pots every so often. You should see flowers within 12-16 weeks, at which point you can move them to a cooler spot to prolong the display. After the flowers have faded they can be planted outside. Each gift set includes 3 x ceramic pots measuring 9.5 x 7.5cm, compost, and 9 bulbs in total (3 x ranunculus, 3 x anemone and 3 x freesia).
