Cyclamen coum ‘Rubrum’ (sowbread) was £9.99 now £7.99
Position: partial shade Soil: moderately-fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: January to March Hardiness: fully hardy The deep magenta-red flowers makes this sowbread really stand out from the crowd. It can be planted on its own (ideally in a cluster), or incorporated into an already established clump of cyclamens where it will add depth of colour. The flowers are small, but exquisite. They are held on top of fleshy, slender stems that sit above the marbled, rounded to heart-shaped leaves in winter to early spring. Use it for under-planting trees, adding early colour to an alpine bed or patio pots. Garden care: Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted leaf mould around the crown of the plants in spring as the foliage starts to die back.

Euphorbia x martini ‘Ascot Rainbow’ (spurge) £9.99
Position: full sun Soil: light, well-drained garden soil Rate of growth: average to fast growing Flowering period: March to July Hardiness: fully hardy The grey-green leaves of this evergreen perennial emerge with a pinkish-red flush and as they mature, develop a red-marked, creamy yellow margin. To add to this colourful effect, the foliage may take on a pink flush during the colder months of the year. The flowerheads, which top the leafy stems from spring are also variegated and are a wonderful blend of green, cream and red. Drought tolerant once established, it looks marvelous in a gravel garden. Garden care: To promote new shoots remove flowered stems to their base in spring after the flowers have faded. When working with spurges always wear gloves since the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant.
