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.

Hardy Verbena Bonariensis Plugs (12 Pack) A tall, award-winning perennial with erect, branching stems, Verbena bonariensis is a well-loved garden plant deserving a place in every garden so long as there is border space to plant it. Tightly packed clusters of small, violet flowers are produced in abundance & carried on tall, willowy stems from summer to autumn, adding a sophisticated grace to planting schemes. Also known as Argentinian vervain, it is one of the longest-lasting plants in the garden, with flower heads persisting right into the depths of winter, providing much needed interest. Ideal as a filler in borders, it is 'transparent', allowing other plants to shine through, & one of the best plants around to add structure to the border & attract a host of pollinating insects to the garden
- probably why garden designers love it so much. Reliably hardy & very easy to grow, v.bonariensis has been given the RHS Award of Garden Merit, assuring you of its garden-worthiness & suitability for UK gardens & gardeners
- whatever their level of experience. As an added bonus, this verbena seeds freely so, once established you're guaranteed a plentiful source of free plants! Specifications Ideal For: Beds/ Borders/ Cottage Garden/ Winter Interest Flowers: June
- October Position: Full Sun/ Partial Shade Height/ Spread: 200cm x 75cm Hardiness: Fully Hardy Supplied as: 12 x plug plants ready for potting on. Growing tips: When potting on ("pricking out"), handle plugs carefully. For plug plants in trays, push them out using a suitable small instrument through the hole in the bottom of each cell – e.g. a "dibber" or a pencil. Pot on using our Windowsill planters or 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost. Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry
- they don’t like to be left in standing water. When planting out, grow in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun. In cold areas, protect with a dry winter mulch. Verbena bonariensis can suffer dieback in harsh winters if cut back in autumn, so it's best to leave the plant until spring & cut back the old growth when you see the new shoots emerging at the base.

Hardy Yucca Gloriosa Variegata 3L Pot Be rewarded with a spectacular flower display. A potted, established plant This rather exotic & dramatic looking plant originally hails from central USA & is fully hardy throughout the UK. It's very long lived eventually forming a strong trunk which is capped by a rosette of sword like fleshy leaves with a handsome creamy margin. In summer you'll be rewarded with a spectacular flower spike rearing from the centre of the plant, bearing many creamy white blooms. Giving a spectacular show from July through to the autumn, you can then remove this as soon as the flowers fade to allow the plant to regain strength before winter. Despite its appearance, this is not a desert plant & likes moist well drained soil. Yuccas are far easier to grow than many realise, needing little attention once planted & bring instant impact to the garden. This Yucca is equally at home in a large pot or sunny border so pick a spot & enjoy for years to come. Specifications Ideal For: Beds/borders/pots & containers/patio growing Flowers: July
- October Position: Sun or Partial Shade Height/ Spread: 120cm x 80cm Hardiness: Winter Hardy Supplied as: 3L potted established plant Contents 1 X 3L Potted Yucca back to top
