Hydrangea quercifolia Little Honey ('Brihon') (PBR) (oak-leaved hydrangea)

Hydrangea quercifolia Little Honey (‘Brihon’) (PBR) (oak-leaved hydrangea) £12.99
Position: partial shade, avoiding midday sun Soil: moist, well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July to September Hardiness: fully hardy A fantastic new hydrangea, with very decorative oak-like leaves. They emerge in spring a bright golden yellow and this colour persists into summer before gradually fading to a chartreuse-green. The large cones of pretty white flowers that appear in summer are the icing on the cake. In autumn the leaves turn dramatic shades of coral, pink, red and burgundy as the flowers slowly fade. This fabulous shrub is perfect if you want a long season of interest as it gives its best for most of the year. Originally discovered as a sport from Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Pee Wee’ this too is a slow-growing variety that stays compact and does not normally require pruning. It’s best in the middle of a partially shady border, and associates beautifully with most other hydrangeas. It also contrasts well with hot pinks, oranges and vibrant purples. Garden care: Hydrangeas do not like to dry out. In dry weather, soak the roots with a hose and the plant will usually recover. Remove faded flowerheads in spring after the danger of frosts, cutting back the flowered stems to a strong pair of buds. Take out misplaced or diseased shoots. Mulch young plants with a well-rotted manure or compost in spring. Best planted in a shady or partially shady border as the leaves can scorch in full sun.

Melica altissima ‘Alba’ (Siberian melic) £9.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil:fertile, well-drained Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: May to June Hardiness: fully hardy An unassuming but beautiful grass that produces its airy sprays of white, grain-like flowers on slender stems that catch the slightest breeze.

Position: full sun Soil: deep, moist but well-drained, neutral to acid soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June Other features: the flowers are followed by dark grey seed- pods; mid- to deep green leaves Hardiness: fully hardy A wonderful new hybrid from North Carolina Botanical Garden, it’s greyish violet pea-like flowers form in long spikes that are supported by near-black stems. This false indigo is perfect for a well-drained border or a dry, sunny bank as it will become drought tolerant once well established. Resist the temptation to cut the plant back in autumn as the seed-pods and slender stems look wonderful frosted in the winter garden. Garden care: Lift and divide large colonies in early spring

Briza media (common quaking grass) £8.99
Position: full sun or light shade Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May-June Hardiness: fully hardy A mat-forming evergreen grass with purplish tinted, blue-green leaves.
