Helleborus x hybridus 'White Spotted Lady' (Lady Series) (lenten rose / hellebore)

Helleborus x hybridus ‘White Spotted Lady’ (Lady Series) (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 Flower colour: striking white flowers with dark red spots. Other features: all parts of the plant cause severe discomfort if ingested; the sap may cause skin irritation Hardiness: fully hardy Pendent or outward-facing, creamy white flowers that are heavily flecked with maroon spots, appear in loose cymes at the ends of the upright, leafy stems. Useful for offering seasonal diversity when used in conjunction with hostas and ferns. 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.

Ilex aquifolium (English holly - Hedging Range)

Ilex aquifolium (English holly – Hedging Range) £119.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Flowering period: May and June Flower colour: white Other features: the berries may cause a mild stomach upset if ingested; to guarantee berries it’s necessary to plant a male holly nearby; stems of holly are ideal for floral arrangements Hardiness: fully hardy The Royal Horticultural Society bare root hedging range is a very low cost way of planting a hedge. These plants are only available to buy and plant when dormant. (November-March) These plants, with known seed provenence, are grown in 220 acres of rich Herefordshire soil. As they are dispatched directly from the fields, rather than through a nursery, they are much fresher than imported or even stored plants. RHS bare root plants are grown through low input horticultural methods. Plants are rotated with pigs annually, to improve soil condition. Water is harvested in the winter for use in the summer. No heat or polytunnels are used and, as the plants are dispatched direct from the fields, transport is kept to a minimum. To find out more about how to plant a hedge , click here Lustrous, spiny, dark green leaves and long-lasting, bright red berries from autumn to winter. In time this English holly forms a tall conical tree – making a majestic, evergreen specimen plant for large gardens or parks. By far the commonest native tree, it will thrive in any moderately fertile, well- drained soil in sun or partial shade. Garden care: Plants grown as free-standing specimens require minimal pruning – remove diseased or misplaced branches in spring. Trim plants grown as formal hedges in late summer. After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the sex of our plants. Please note that as we grow the hedging especially for you, we need to take full payment when you place your order so as to reserve stock for you. The bareroot plants will then be despatched to you during November.
