Helleborus x hybridus ‘Pink Lady’ (lenten rose / hellebore) was £4.99 now £2.49
Position: partial shade Soil: heavy, neutral to alkaline soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: February to April Other features: all parts of the plant cause severe discomfort if ingested; the sap may cause skin irritation Hardiness: fully hardy (borderline) Perfectly suited to the woodland floor, where it will offer seasonal diversity when used in conjunction with hostas and ferns, the pendent or outward-facing flowers of this hybrid Lenten rose are a very pretty shade of pink. Garden care: Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Cut the old leaves back down to the ground in January or February as this will show off the new emerging flowers to best effect. It will also help to get rid of foliar diseases such as Hellebore leaf spot. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring. Cut off the seed heads to prevent inferior seedlings colonising.

Verbena bonariensis (purple top) was £6.99 now £4.99
Position: full sun Soil: moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: June to September Hardiness: borderline hardy (will need protection in winter in colder areas) Tightly packed clusters of lilac-purple flowers on tall, stiff, branching stems from June to September. This stylish perennial has been enjoying a resurgence of interest in recent years. Perfect for a sheltered, sunny, well-drained spot, its open, transparent shape means that it can easily be used at the front or middle of the border despite its height. This plant will help to sustain bees and butterflies into autumn with its tall wiry stems of purple flowers. It makes a good filler, because the upright stems support neighbouring plants. Plant it among the warm-red Dahlia ‘Bishop of Llandaff’ and it will act as supports, negating the need for staking, whilst providing a dazzling display. Garden care: In cold conditions Verbena bonariensis can suffer dieback if cut back in autumn, so it’s best to leave the plant until spring and cut back the old growth when you see the new shoots emerging at the base. Also it’s a good idea to mulch around the base of the plant with a deep, dry mulch in winter to help protect the plant. Where the plant is grown in partial shade the stems may need to be supported – if this is necessary use natural materials such as brushwood or twiggy pea-sticks.

Twool is different as it is 100% natural, 100% renewable, compostable, soft, strong and very durable. Twool has also been shortlisted for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Garden Product of the Year 2013 and was a finalist in the 2014 show. Twool rope is made from twool twine which makes it very strong and durable for all those jobs that need a bit of extra oomph. Use twool rope for more structural elements in the garden like training roses, clematis, honeysuckle and tree ties.
