Prunus triloba (flowering almond) was £19.99 now £14.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained fertile soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: April Hardiness: fully hardy This plant has several seasons of interest throughout the year, so it makes it a great choice for the smaller garden. It is a piucture in early spring, when its bare branches are laden with clear pink bowl-shaped flowers. These are soon followed by rich green leaves, which have a slightly paler reverse, and later still (from midsummer to autumn rounded red fruits appear. Naturally bushy in habit, it can be trained as a small tree over time, and where space is at a premium, it will also make an ideal wall shrub if the old flowering shoots are pruned back immediately after the flowering has finished. Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Prune old flowering shoots immediately after flowering

Ceramic pot & amaryllis ‘Benfica’ gift set (Hippeastrum ‘Dancing Queen’ gift set) £12.99
Position: bright but not in full sun Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained soil or in loam-based compost, such as John Innes no2, with additional leaf mould and sharp sand Rate of growth: average Flowering period: September to November Hardiness: tender The rich red flowers of ‘Benfica’ can be used to lend seasonal colour to the Christmas festivities, but it also looks pretty amazing at other times of the darker months of the year. A great gift idea, these bulbs are easy to grow and give lots of pleasure. The gift set includes a ceramic pot, compost, one amaryllis bulb and growing instructions. General care: Before planting make sure the supplied compost is moist but not waterlogged. Place half the compost in the pot and then sit the bulb on top (pointy side up). Fill in with the remaining compost so the upper third of the bulb is exposed. Water sparingly and place in a bright, warm position (indoors). Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged at all times and rotate the pot every so often to keep it growing straight. The stem may need support when the flowers start to bloom. Once flowering has finished cut off the flower stalk 5-10cm above the bulb – don’t cut off the foliage. Water when the surface of the compost is dry and feed regularly with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Usually the best thing to do is keep watering it through the summer and in autumn stop watering and move to a dark, dim spot. This stimulates the drought season of the plant’s native South America. Allow it to dry out for a few months so that the foliage wilts and dies back. In November bring it back in to the light and start watering again. Old foliage should be removed though take care not to cut any new shoots off. In a few weeks a new flower shoot will appear and flower just in time for Christmas.
