In cooler summers, you will get whiter flowers, & in hot ones you will get a lot more colour. These Salvias are very easy to care for & flower prolifically with minimal care perfect for beginners! Supplied as 12 x plug plants, 4 of 3 varieties growing to a height of 1 m (3 ft) & spread of 75 cm (2½ ft), including: Salvia ' Hot Lips'
- Amazing two-tone half red & half white summer long blooms. Salvia ' Amethyst Lips'
- Gorgeous violet & white flowers throughout the summer. Salvia ' Cherry Lips'
- Fragrant foliage with beautiful pink & white two-tone blooms. Care Planting Advice for Salvia: Salvias grow best in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, avoid excessively exposed areas & waterlogged soils. Before planting, prepare the soil by digging over & removing any weeds. Incorporate some well-rotted manure to enrich the soil if necessary. When planting a number of perennials, arrange them on the surface so you can see how they will look before planting. Individually knock out each plant from its container. Look at the roots
- if they are circling around the compost, it is best to tease them out. To do this, push your fingers into the rootball along the bottom edge & pull. Do this in a couple of places. This should encourage the roots to spread into the surrounding soil. Next use a trowel or spade to create a hole just deep & wide enough to set in the rootball. The aim is to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems (when in growth in summer) or the shoots (in spring) above ground. Firm back around the soil, using your hand for small clumps & your heel on larger areas. Water in well to settle the soil & prevent desiccation. Aftercare advice for your salvias: Feed & water regularly until plants are fully established. Although perennial, this salvia will require some winter protection outdoors in the form of a straw mulch & if growing it in containers, move to a cold greenhouse or conservatory to prevent the cold from penetrating to the roots. In spring, apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant Pruning Advice for Salvia: Prune lightly in late spring when new growth appears to remove dead stems & to maintain a bushy shape.

Hardy Tricolour Fuchsia ' Sunray' 3 x 9cm Pots A designers delight, Fuchsia ' Sunray' is an all-in-one fuchsia with glorious, cream-variegated foliage, flushed pink at the margin, followed by violet-centred, bright pink flowers. Unusually for a variegated fuchsia, it is fully hardy in the UK, re-growing from the base if knocked back by frosts. Ideal planted up in a container for the patio, pair it with annuals in violets & lilacs such as the fluffy ageratum, for a contrast in texture & colour. If you prefer your plants in the garden, then ' Sunray' will do equally well in the flower border, where it will thrive in a sheltered location in light, well-drained soil in sun or part shade, growing larger year on year as it establishes.
