Pair of Hardy Standard Figs 1.2M tall in 5L pots £39.99
Picking plump, juicy figs straight from a tree is one of lifes greatest pleasures, especially when served up with wafer thin slices of Parma ham and a drizzle of honey. Divine! This Standard fig boasts masses of large, pear-shaped fruit that are ready for picking in late summer and early autumn.
Even before the fruit is ripe it will add presence to the garden as its branches are clothed with large, deeply lobed leaves. Despite originating from warmer climes, this amazing fig is incredibly tough, easily shrugging off temperatures down to -15C in the UK. Extremely drought tolerant when established, figs do best in a brightly lit, sunny spot.
Keep plants productive and compact by restricting roots by growing in large pots or planting in 60cm square planting holes fill the base with a layer of gravel and line sides with paving slabs.

Hardy Tree Fern (Dicksonia antarctica) log – 2 foot £59.99
Tree ferns were a firm plant hunter’s favourite from Victorian times, a symbol of wealth and travel experiences to Australia. They have maintained this sense of mystique ever since. Now you too can grow these surprisingly easy exotic looking plants too.
Harvested under strict License from woodland clearance in Australia and Tasmania, and in very short supply this season, these astonishing plants really will delight and amaze. They grow under the woodland canopy, in the shade, so grow them here in a sheltered spot too. These ‘2 foot’ (60cm) logs are at least 25 years old, and have been cut back and harvested dormant. When you water them via the top crown, they will burst back into life, like it’s the new rainy season!
Because they grow in leaf canopies, most of their food comes from leaves falling into their giant shuttlecock like fronds, funnelling the goodness into the growing crown. Feed and water this crown – rainwater is best if you vcan collect it.
Even at this size of log, new fronds of 1M in length will unfurl spectacularly within a Month or so of you watering it. It’s amazing when they come how quickly they grow. The plant is hardy in Winter, although the fronds will die back. Cutting these off when they die back is what creates the new trunk, which slowly inches up over many, many years.
Keep the crown protected in Winter with a layer of straw to keep cold and wet out. When you get it home, plant it in a big pot, or in the garden soil. It takes almost 2 years to root in, so do not be alarmed by this slow growing beauty.

Skyscraper Jumbo Lilies x 15 Large Bulbs 3 Pack Of 5 was £14.99 now £7.49
These incredible Skyscraper Lilies grow so tall they look like trees! In their first year they will reach up to 1.5m (5ft) tall, but in future years, once they are fully established, they will get even taller up to 6 or even 7 foot tall eventually! These large flowered beauties arise as a consequence hybridisation between Oriental and Trumpet strains of lily hence the marriage of both species characteristics. Every flower carries a wonderful heady perfume and each individual stem can carry well over 20 blooms, which can measure well over 15cm (6in) across. This collection comprises of 15 top sizes bulbs, 3 of each variety, the same as used by commercial flower growers in Holland: – Belladonna – gorgeous soft lemon yellow – Robina – deep pink, verging towards berry purple – Cocossa a gorgeous white lily. Grow all 5 in large pots about 15cm apart, or in groups in garden borders. They have very strong stems, so should not need support. Cut them for the long-lasting displays in the vase, or leave them to marvel at in your garden. Allow them to die down naturally after flowering, and they will build up reserves for even bigger and better displays the following year. Fully Winter hardy, they will last for many years.
