Choisya 'Sundance' 1M standard tree

Choisya ‘Sundance’ 1M standard tree £29.99
We are all familiar with the classic bay tree lollipop shape standard, but how about a completely different colour option? The fabulous golden yellow leaves of Choisya ‘Sundance’ (or Mexican Orange Blossom as it is sometimes called due to their small white fragrant flowers in spring), glow bright golden yellow in spring and summer, yet remain neat and tidy too. And they are ever-yellow too – they remain bright yellow all year, even in winter, so offer a real year round feature. Grown on a clear stem of about 50cm, these standard Choisya’s are quite unusual, and work really well as a low maintenance feature in pairs either side of a doorway or gate.

Gardenia 'Kleim's Hardy' plant in 9cm pot

Gardenia ‘Kleim’s Hardy’ plant in 9cm pot £9.99
‘Kleims Hardy’ is the world’s very first fully hardy Gardenia variety and can survive outside in temperatures as low as -10C! Just as stunning and as fragrant as its indoor relative, Gardenia Kleims snowy white, waxy flowers completely smother its exquisite evergreen leaves from early June onwards. The scent of gardenias is so gorgeous its often used in perfume, so imagine sitting on your patio this summer surrounded by its intoxicatingly sweet fragrance heavenly! A beautifully compact shrub, Gardenia Kleims Hardy is both very easy to grow and care for. Simply plant it in a pot or a garden border, preferably using ericaceous compost, and it will happily grow and flourish outdoors all year round.
