Papaver somniferum ‘Lauren’s Grape’ (opium poppy (Laurens Grape)) was £2.49 now £2.29
Position: full sun Soil: well-drained, preferably poor soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to August Hardiness: hardy annual A recent introduction with rich purple-plum petals, which unfurl from their silken buds to create magnificent bowl-shaped flowers. These sit majestically on top of somewhat twisted stems that arise from amongst clumps of greyish green foliage throughout the summer. Their bold colouring is perfect for borders with a ‘bruised’ planting scheme. Garden care: They tend to resent root disturbance, so sow shallowly, directly into a well prepared bed in spring and water well. As the seedlings develop, thin them out to 30cm intervals keeping just the healthiest and most robust plants. Protect the emerging seedlings from slugs and snails. The seedheads can be dried and added to winter arrangements. Sow: March-May Flowering: June-August Approximate quantity: 200 seeds.

Achillea tomentosa (woolly yarrow) was £3.99 now £3.49
Position: full sun Soil: moist, well-drained Rate of Growth: fast-growing Flowering period: July to September Hardiness: fully hardy Garden care: Achilleas do not like wet soil, especially in winter. Stake if necessary using bamboo canes or brushwood before the flowers appear. Cut down to the ground in late winter, but resist the urge to do this earlier, as the seed heads look lovely in the winter light. Pull out seedlings as they appear, as they rarely match the parent plant. Lift and divide large clumps in late autumn or early spring.

Lilium ‘Apricot Fudge’ (lily bulb) was £3.99 now £3.49
Position: full sun Soil: well-drained, including chalk, enriched with leaf mould or a loam-based potting compost such as John Innes no. 2 Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to July Hardiness: fully hardy Bulb Size: 16/18 The flowers of this unusual lily look quite rose-like, having two rows of shorter, more rounded petals, but they still retaining the cluster of prominent stamens that is typical of most of the group. The colouring is very pretty too, being a warm blend of apricot and fudge, and this makes it perfect for borders with a hot colour scheme – as well as offering a lively contrast to rich purple and plum. Also, the flowers have a delicious perfume and will make long-lived additions to the vase. The RSPCA have reported that all parts of lilies can be fatal to cats, including the flower, leaves and pollen. For more information visit Rspca.org Garden care: Lilies can be planted at any time from early autumn, to mid-spring. Planting in autumn often helps them settle in and become better established before they start to put on their new spring growth, but spring planting is a better option if your soil is heavy and wet during winter. Choose a sunny spot, preferably where the plant receives a little light shade at its base, and plant each bulb 15-20cm (6-8in) deep in a well-drained soil, enriched with well-rotted organic matter or leaf mould. Space them between 15 – 30cm intervals and provide support before the flowers appear. Deadhead the faded blooms promptly and cut the dead stems back to ground level at the end of autumn.

Ideal in a cottage garden setting where their soft colouring blends easily with richer pinks, purples and blues. Garden care: Remove the faded blooms regularly to prolong flowering. Apply a dry mulch around the base of the plant to protect the roots from frost damage and cut back in spring when new shoots appear low down on the stem. Lift and divide congested clumps in spring.
