Digitalis purpurea ‘Dalmatian Peach’ (Dalmatian Series) (foxglove) was £3.45 now £1.72
Position: partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained garden soil Rate of growth: fast growing Flowering period: June and July Hardiness: fully hardy Glorious peach-coloured trumpets appear on the stout, branching stems from midsummer, creating structural interest in the border and attracting beneficial insects to the garden. Recently introduced, the foxgloves in the ‘Dalmation Series’ will usually flower in their first year. Garden care: Ensure that the soil is kept moist in summer. After flowering cut back the flowered spikes to encourage more sideshoots. Cut down to the ground after flowering. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-ro tted organic matter around the plant in early spring. These plants are mainly short-lived perennials, although if happy they will produce plenty of new sideshoots and self-seed freely.

Lathyrus odoratus ‘Bobby’s Girl’ (spencer sweet pea) was £6.99 now £3.49
These sweet peas are autumn sown and grown in root trainers to promote longer deep roots. They have been grown under a cold polythene tunnel and whilst they are hardy, they are still young and do need that extra bit of protection on cold nights for the first few weeks. Wrap them in some good quality horticultural fleece or bring them in to an unheated greenhouse or conservatory for the night. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: June to September Flower colour: cream and salmon pink Other features: sweetly scented flowers Hardiness: hardy annual Each rich cream petal is heavily infused with salmon-pink, which becomes more noticeable towards the outer edges. This creates a very pretty, almost picotee effect, that looks equally at home beside soft pastels and more strident shades of pink and plum. The flowers are large, and they also have a deliciously sweet scent. Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted organic matter in the planting hole. To make sure you keep the plants in top condition spray regularly with a fungicide as all sweet peas are prone to mildew, and feed with a high potash fertiliser, such as Tomorite for plenty of flowers. Don’t forget to keep cutting the flowers so that you get plenty more!
