Dianthus cruentus (feld pink)

Dianthus cruentus (feld pink) £7.99
Position: full sun Soil: rich but well-drained, alkaline to neutral soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to August Flower colour: reddish-pink Hardiness: fully hardy A lovely little alpine, which is a native of the Balkans. The tall upright flower stems bear clusters of pinky-red flowers in late spring and summer. These bob happily above the long, bluish-green, evergreen foliage. It is easy to grow and the bees and butterflies will love you for it. Garden care: Dianthus should be trimmed back lightly after flowering to promote new basal growth. Prune more closely in spring, as new shoots emerge to maintain a tidy shape. To maintain healthy growth, it is important to make sure the plants are protected from excessive winter wet.

John Lewis Alfresco Side Plate

John Lewis Alfresco Side Plate was £6.00 now £4.80
Whatever the weather, add a sense of sunshine to outdoor and indoor dining with this glazed side plate. The bold colour of the plate’s face is contrasted with the warm hue of terracotta at its base for a relaxed rustic look. Sun drenched holidays in Southern Europe inspire our Alfresco range. Each piece in the range uses authentic materials; rich terracotta, crafted olive wood, decorative woven baskets, earthy red slate, dipped glassware and colourful woven textiles. Each pattern references the decorative wall and floor tiles, found in both humble kitchens and elaborate places throughout this part of the world. And a saturated palette is borrowed from the Mediterranean sea, sleepy fishing ports and the warm earth tones of stucco clad buildings.
