Penstemon 'Andenken an Friedrich Hahn' (beard tongue (syn. Garnet))

Penstemon ‘Andenken an Friedrich Hahn’ (beard tongue (syn. Garnet)) was £7.99 now £5.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: July to October Hardiness: frost hardy (will need winter protection in cold areas) Elegant spikes of small, tubular, foxglove-like flowers appear from July to October among lance-shaped, bright green leaves. This vibrant, easy-to-grow perennial commemorates an 18th century German astronomer. It will quickly form large, leafy clumps and is perfect for adding a splash of colour to the middle of a sunny, well-drained border. The sumptuous, deep wine-red flowers contrast well with acid greens and silver leaved plants or with wispy grasses and spiky leaves. Garden care: Remove the faded blooms regularly to prolong flowering. Apply a dry mulch around the base of the plant to protect the roots from frost damage and cut back in spring when new shoots appear low down on the stem. Lift and divide congested clumps in spring.

Potentilla 'Gibson's Scarlet' (cinquefoil)

Potentilla ‘Gibson’s Scarlet’ (cinquefoil) was £7.99 now £5.99
Position: full sun Soil: poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to August Hardiness: fully hardy Long sprays of bright scarlet, saucer-shaped flowers with bright yellow anthers appear all summer long above clumps of pretty, strawberry-like leaves. This low-growing perennial is a perfect front-of-border plant for a bold planting scheme based on ‘hot’ colours. Given a sunny, well-drained site, it’s easy to grow, producing a succession of flowers from June to August, although it will also brighten up a partially shady spot in the garden. Garden care: Lift and divide large clumps in autumn or spring. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring.

Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff' (dahlia)

Dahlia ‘Bishop of Llandaff’ (dahlia) was £8.99 now £6.99
Position: full sun Soil: fertile, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July to September Flower colour: bright vermilion-red Other features: excellent cut-flowers Hardiness: half hardy (may need winter protection) Striking, semi-double, bright vermilion-red flowers appear from July to September above the deeply divided, dark bronze-red leaves. This popular, peony-flowered dahlia requires a sunny site with fertile, humus-rich soil. Perfect for a planting scheme based on ‘hot’ colours, the tubers must be lifted and over-wintered in a frost-free place in all but the warmest areas. Garden care: Provide a high-nitrogen liquid feed each week in June, then a high-potash fertiliser each week from July to September. Once the first frosts of autumn have blackened the foliage, carefully lift and clean the tubers and allow them to dry naturally indoors. Place the dry tubers in a shallow tray, just covered with slightly moist potting compost, sand or vermiculite. Store in a frost-free place, checking frequently over the winter months.

Geranium Rozanne ('Gerwat') (PBR) (cranesbill)

Geranium Rozanne (‘Gerwat’) (PBR) (cranesbill) was £9.99 now £7.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: June to September Hardiness: fully hardy Winner of the RHS Plant of the Centenary at Chelsea Flower Show 2013 Large (up to 5cm across), saucer-shaped, violet-blue flowers with white centres appear throughout the summer above the mounds of slightly-marbled, deep green foliage. Perfect for underplanting roses, or filling a few gaps in the front of a border, it copes well in full sun or partial shade. Garden care: In midsummer rejuvenate plants that are beginning to look jaded, by removing old flowered stems and leaves. Lift and divide large colonies in spring.
