Cosmos atrosanguineus 'Spellbound' (Large Plant) - 1 cosmos plant in 2 litre pot

Cosmos atrosanguineus ‘Spellbound’ (Large Plant) – 1 cosmos plant in 2 litre pot £12.99
Cosmos atrosanguineus ‘Spellbound’ shares the deliciously seductive chocolatey scent of its Chocolate Cosmos relatives, but its daisy-like flower is a strikingly rich red, and much brighter than the flowers of other varieties. It thrives in a sunny spot in the border in moist, well-drained soil and is best grown among other perennials which will give support to its stems. The Chocolate Plant is a half hardy perennial, so in the UK it is best either grown as an annual, or in a container which can be moved to a frost-free location through the winter. Height and Spread: 60cm (24").

In April and May, pure white heart-shaped flowers hang in tidy rows from the arching stems of Dicentra spectabilis ‘Alba’, making a welcome sight above the finely cut leaves. Inspired by the unusual shape of the flowers, this lovely plant also goes by the name of the Lyre Flower, Dutchman’s Breeches, or Bleeding Heart. It grows well in a moist, shady spot, its bright white blooms bringing a splash of light to a dark corner. Height: 120cm (48"). Spread: 45cm (18").

Cortaderia selloana 'Pumila' (Large Plant) - 1 cortaderia plant in 2 litre pot

This compact variety only reaches 1.2m (3.9’), making it a great addition to a smaller garden, or even for filling a gap in a border. Pampas Grass will practically take care of itself, particularly ‘Pumila’, as it is much easier to manage than its bigger cousin. This ornamental grass is especially attractive in August, when the evergreen plants produce silvery plumes from their centres. These feathery flower heads are perfect for drying. Height and Spread: 1.2m (3.9’).
