Patio Nectarine Garden Beauty tree £24.99
This compact Nectarine tree will deliver years of pleasure in your garden with both pretty, fragrant flowers in Spring followed by yellow flesh fruits in Summer. Bred by Zaiger in the USA, the World’s leading Patio fruit breeder, it is genetically dwarf, and self-branching, so even over many years will not exceed 3ft.
Nectarine ‘Garden Beauty’ is ideal for grown in a large pot in a sunny, sheltered position. In early spring your tree will be smothered in deep pink, semi double fragrant flowers, which should be protected from frosts by covering with fleece cover. This variety is self-fertile so does not require another plant for pollination. You will then be rewarded with fruit late Summer when you are able to pick sweet juicy, full flavoured nectarines straight off the tree – not as karge as those in the supermarket, but fresh and juicy all the same!

Geranium Summertime Trailing – pack of 24 large plugs £16.99
The best trailing single flowered ivy-leaf geranium from seed, perfoming almost as well as more expensive cutting raised selection, hence offering better value for money.
Great for mixed baskets, and large tubs, the profusion of flowers will perform well come rain or shine. Feed well in June and July for best results, and dead-head after flowering to prolong displays. We think they look great planted alone in big real terracotta pots or long window boxes where they can trail down and show of their flowers.
A great value breakthrough for trailing geraniums, which will deliver results this Summer for you.
Carpet Oriental Lilies – 20 bulbs £9.99
The name says it all – you can create Carpets of Colour with our amazing Carpet Oriental Lily collection. Oriental Lilies are the fragrant ones, and their taller cousins regularly top the best-seller charts for fresh flowers.
These are naturally much shorter types, and better still most are double nosed bulbs – meaning each bulb should produce 2 flower stems, and each of these has up to 5 individual flowers on. Imagine up to 100 individual lily flowers forming a dense flower carpet in your garden – and fragrant too!
Grow Carpet lilies planted in big groups in borders, about 10cm deep and 20cm apart, or closer at 15cm in larger pots. They will flower in June and July, and last for 4-5 weeks. They are extremely easy to grow – all the energy needed is in the bulb already, just add water after planting and when growing. Let them die back natually each Autumn, and because they are totally hardy they will erupt bigger and bolder year after year. So easy, and a great gift too for non-gardeners as you can’t go wrong.
Create carpets of colour in your garden with our amaxing Carpet Lilies.
