Picea glauca var. albertiana ‘Sanders Blue’ (Picea glauca Sanders Blue) £29.99
Position: full sun Soil: deep, moist, well-drained, neutral to acid soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Other features: ash-grey bark Hardiness: fully hardy Perfect for a short-term, table-top Christmas tree, this conifer may not come as a perfect pyramid, but it looks charming, especially when adorned with decorations, lights or tinsel. Try to keep it in a cool, bright room and move it outside as soon as possible after Christmas, where you can enjoy it for the rest of the year. It is currently around 60-65cm tall (including the the pot). The striking, silvery blue needle-like leaves make a lovely festive feel to decorations. As it matures it will also produce oval, green summer cones that age to brown. A slow-growing, broadly conical, evergreen conifer is an excellent specimen tree for a small, sunny garden. Best in moist, well-drained, neutral to acid soil or ericaceous compost if you wish to keep it in a pot. Garden care: To maintain the plant’s distinctive shape remove any misplaced or diseased branches in winter.

Floralsilk Phalaenopsis £13.99
You would be hard-pushed trying to tell this everlasting spray of orchids from the real deal.

The maximum height of each stem is 127cm.

Floralsilk Dahlia/Chrysanthemum £11.99
This stunning flower measures around 15cm across, so it is really big and flamboyant. It sits on top of a tall straight stem (which has three leaves), that measures around 70cm long, so it’s perfect for a large vase – although the stem could be cut if you want a more understated arrangement. The rich red to near-black colouring is sumptuous, and the petals have a velvet-like feel – just like the real thing! The maximum height of each stem is 75cm.

Floralsilk Amaryllis £9.99
Create a lavish seasonal display (which is perfect for Christmas), using this beautiful rich red, faux amaryllis. The long stem is topped with a generous cluster of flowers, so they are showy enough to be used singly in a vase, but if you want something that will really impress the guests, buy several and infill the arrangement with decorative twigs or interesting foliage. The maximum height of each stem is 75cm.
