Hepatica nobilis (hepatica)

Hepatica nobilis (hepatica) £9.99
Position: partial shade Soil: fertile, moist but well-drained neutral to alkaline soil Rate of growth: slow growing Flowering period: March to April Hardiness: fully hardy Violet or purple, very pretty, bowl-shaped flowers, which appear with the new foliage in early spring. Plant them in bold drifts to help illuminate a woodland floor or dapple them throughout a shady rockery. Garden care: Hepaticas resent being moved, so try to plant them where they can remain undisturbed for several years. Apply a generous layer of mulch in autumn or immediately after flowering.

Euphorbia cyparissias 'Orange Man' (cypress spurge)

Euphorbia cyparissias ‘Orange Man’ (cypress spurge) £8.99
Position: full sun Soil: light, well-drained garden soil Rate of growth: vigorous Flowering period: May to July Hardiness: fully hardy In early summer, spreading mounds of feathery grey-green foliage are topped with rounded clusters of citrus-orange flowerheads. This is a gorgeous, deciduous perennial that looks great planted towards the front of a sunny border, or as part of a Mediterranean scheme. It makes excellent ground cover, but it can run amok if left unattended, so make sure the flowers are removed after they have faded, but before it sets seed if you don’t want it to spread. Garden care: When working with spurges always wear gloves since the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant.

Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue' (blue fescue)

Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’ (blue fescue) £6.99
Position: full sun Soil: well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to July Hardiness: fully hardy A compact, blue leaves ornamental grass, with needle-like, silvery blue-green leaves and short spikes of blue-green midsummer flowers, gradually fading to buff. Neat and rounded in shape, it looks great in a gravel garden, combined with the spires of blue and purple-flowering perennials, or with Mediterranean-style plants. To achieve the best foliage colour, these plants need lots of sun. Garden care: Comb through the plant with your fingers in winter to remove dead foliage. Container-grown specimens should be watered well when the y are establishing. Plants need replacing every few years as they become tatty- looking.
