Nandina domestica Obsessed  ('Seika') (PBR) (heavenly bamboo)

Nandina domestica Obsessed (‘Seika’) (PBR) (heavenly bamboo) £39.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist but well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July Hardiness: frost hardy (needs winter protection in cold areas) This compact evergreen shrub is primarily grown for its handsome foliage, which is a fiery shade of red when it first emerges in spring, before turning a rich green as it ages. The conical clusters of white flowers it produces in midsummer are also pretty and add further to the plants appeal. A good choice for patio pots where it will provide year-round interest, it also makes an interesting (and colourful) addition to the front of a shrub border. Note – terracotta pot not supplied. Garden care: In mid or late spring lightly cut back any shoots that spoil the symmetry of the plant.

Phyllostachys nigra (Black Bamboo) 5L

Phyllostachys nigra (Black Bamboo) 5L £29.99
Grab your chance to get a very special offer for such a huge, impactful bamboo plant! Black bamboo is slow growing, and the canes turn a rich, coffee-black colour after a year or so they will provide a wonderful spectacle and a great centrepiece and talking point. This mature, well established plant will provide instant impact in a large pot (keep well watered in Summer, they are thirsty beasts), looking great on patios or decking, and requiring very little maintenace. Or plant it in the ground where it will form nice attractive clumps over many many years. It is also good for screening or dividing areas of your garden, and will look lovely with the canes wafting and whispering in the breeze. Phyllostachys nigra is also much less invasive than others so dont worry about it taking over. Very hardy, it needs no maintenance or pruning, so it is perfect for busy gardeners, yet gives year round interest and texture to gardens of all styles and sizes. Can be divided into 2 plants in 5 years or so too! Enjoy!

Tulip Shirley (8 bulbs)

Tulip Shirley (8 bulbs) £2.9500
Shirley tulips are a while tulip with fine mauve edges. Growing to around 50cm and flowering in April/May. Tulips will grow in a wide range of soils provided there is good drainage. They like sunshine but the flowers will last longer in partial shade. Ideal for beds and borders, remove flower heads as they begin to fade. Avoid planting tulips repeatedly in exactly the same spot that they have been grown in in recent years. Tulips are best lifted when the leaves fade. Clean and store until the Autumn, when they can be replanted. Do not keep the small off-shoots as they will not flower. Display in groups, great for underplanting roses or growing through muscari.
