Nepeta subsessilis (catmint) £6.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July to September Hardiness: fully hardy Chunky spikes of bright blue flowers are held on erect stems above the mound of aromatic dark green leaves. This is a tough and easy to grow plant that is useful for making an impact in a sunny border from midsummer to early autumn. It will mix particularly well with most shades of pink and purple and also looks good with silvers. Garden care: Cut back after flowering has finished to keep the plant compact. Lift and divide large clumps in spring, replanting divided specimens with lots of well-rotted organic matter. If powdery mildew becomes a problem prune out the affected areas.

Hibiscus Tricolour 80cm stem £29.99
No, your eyes are not deceiving you – this amazing hardy Hibiscus standard tree actually does have 3 colours on the same tree, and will stay that way too.
Hibiscus are often propagated by grafting, and the clever nurserymen have here grafted 3 individual different colours – blue, pink and white – to the top of the standard stem. Usually they would graft 3 of the same colour, but in an experimental moment, created this delightful result.
And vitally, all 3 varieties have been selected carefully so they grow at similar rates, and no one colour will dominate the tree. This is a more reliable method than the sometimes offered 3 colours plaited together. All they need is an annual trim to shape, and they will stay in this lovely mix for years.
Hibiscus syriacus is totally hardy in the UK, but thrives best in hot, sunny spots, and responds well to heavy feeding, especially trace elements. Flowering in August and September, prepare to amaze your friends and neighbours with this horticultural wonder!
