Malva sylvestris var. mauritiana (mallow) was £6.99 now £5.99
Position: full sun Soil: moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast growing Flowering period: June to September Hardiness: fully hardy If you want something that will quickly grow to a decent height and provide you will masses of flowers over several months from early summer, then look no further. It is relatively short-lived, but you should get a couple of years out of it and it does put on a really impressive show. It will also set seed if it is happy in its given spot, so you will have more plants that will happily take the place if the parent when the time comes. Garden care: Avoid excessive feeding as this will usually encourage leafier growth and fewer flowers. Provide support when grown in more exposed locations.
Picea glauca var. albertiana ‘Conica’ (Picea glauca var. albertiana ‘Conica’) was £19.99 now £6.99
Position: full sun Soil: deep, moist, well-drained, neutral to acid soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Other features: ash-grey bark Hardiness: fully hardy Perfect for a short-term, table-top Christmas tree, this conifer may not come as a perfect pyramid, but it looks charming, especially when adorned with decorations, lights or tinsel. Try to keep it in a cool, bright room and move it outside as soon as possible after Christmas, where you can enjoy it for the rest of the year. It is currently around 50cm tall (including the pot) and has beautiful, blue-green, needle-like leaves. As it matures it will also produce oval, green summer cones that age to brown. A slow-growing, broadly conical, evergreen conifer is an excellent specimen tree for a small, sunny garden. Best in moist, well-drained, neutral to acid soil or ericaceous compost if you wish to keep it in a pot. Garden care: To maintain the plant’s distinctive shape remove any misplaced or diseased branches in winter.
