Crocus has cut the price of these products
Acer palmatum (Dissectum Group) ‘Garnet’ (Japanese maple) was £29.99 now £19.99
Position: partial shade or full sun (but not south-facing) Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained neutral to acid soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Hardiness: fully hardy A pretty little tree, this has feathery, garnet-coloured leaves that turn bright scarlet in autumn and look as if they have been shredded. Its rounded, compact habit makes it a perfect focal point for a small garden, particularly in a container. Or try it alongside an ornamental pool, where its sculptural shape will be reflected in the water. It needs a sheltered spot, away from strong winds or scorching sun, though its leaf colour is best enjoyed in a sunny position. Garden care: Add a top-dressing of a multi-purpose fertiliser around the base of a newly planted tree in late spring and keep well watered. No routine pruning is required, just remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when they are fully dormant.

New product today at Crocus
Clethra alnifolia ‘Ruby Spice’ (sweet pepper bush) £14.99
Position: partial shade Soil: humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil with an acidic pH Rate of growth: average Flowering period: August and September Hardiness: fully hardy This makes a beautiful addition to the late summer and early autumn garden, when its spires of pink bell-shaped flowers open, emiting their deliciously spicy, clove-like fragrance into the air. The flowers of this deciduous, suckering shrub not only look and smell sublime, but they are also loved by bees and butterflies. It flourishes in partial shade, so is ideal for a woodland setting or lightly shaded shrub border. Garden care: In winter, while the plant is dormant, remove some of the older stems, leaving the strongest suckers to produce new growth in spring. After pruning apply a generous (5-7cm deep) mulch of well-rotted leaf mould around the base of the plant.

Garlic Marco (3 bulbs) £2.9500
Garlic Marco have a distinctive strong flavour. These garlic bulbs are ideal for storing, making them a favourite over wintering garlic.
Garlic prefer a well-drained, fertile soil and a sunny position.
Garlic will benefit from an application of general fertiliser into the soil prior to planting. If the garlic is in bulbs, break into cloves before planting. Check every few days, until growth commences and re-plant any sets that are disturbed by birds etc.
When the leaves start to die down, lift the bulbs and leave them on the surface of the soil to ripen if the weather is hot and sunny, otherwise store in a light airy position, dry and frost free.
Garlic is said to act as a deterrent to many garden pests.
