Anemone nemorosa (wood anemone)

Anemone nemorosa (wood anemone) was £3.99 now £2.99
Position: partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained soil but can cope with drier conditions when dormant in summer Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: March- April Flower colour: white, sometimes flushed with pink Hardiness: fully hardy You can create a stunning carpet of flowers if you plant loads of these around deciduous trees and shrubs. The faintly scented, white flowers are sometimes flushed with pink on the outer petals and their ‘faces’ will follow the sun across the sky. They appear above clumps of feathery foliage just before the trees burst into leaf in spring. When the flowers have finished the leaves die down and disappear in summer while the plant becomes dormant. They will then burst into life all over again the following spring. This is a well deserved recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Plant with bluebells, as their flowering time just overlaps. Garden care: Protect the plant from slugs and snails in spring when the new growth is emerging. Larger clumps can be divided after the leaves have died down.

Paeonia lactiflora 'Karl Rosenfield' (paeony / peony)

Paeonia lactiflora ‘Karl Rosenfield’ (paeony / peony) £5.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moisture-retentive yet well-drained Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to July Hardiness: fully hardy Prized for their blowsy, glamorous blooms and glossy, deeply cut foliage, peonies are held in deep affection by many gardeners, despite their shortish flowering season and vulnerability to peony wilt in damp weather. It’s easy to see why. From the promise of early spring, when their red, mottled shoots push through bare earth and the handsome foliage unfurls from spherical red buds, to early summer, when the huge flowers burst open, peonies exert a fascination that few can resist. ‘Karl Rosenfield’ has fragrant double flowers of startling magenta, from early to mid summer among deeply cut mid green leaves. The reddish-bronze foliage of this striking peony provides interest from early spring and after the plant has flowered. Garden care: Deadhead after flowering. In early spring apply a top dressing of a balanced, slow release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure. If the plant shows signs of collapse or the leaves become spotty, this may be a symptom of peony botrytis. Remove affected leaves immediately. In the autumn, cut off all the foliage and dispose of it to prevent reinfection the following spring.
