For highly impactful specimen plantings in beds, borders & patio pots, the Golden Scented Cypress is a must! The soft, bright golden-yellow foliage will provide your garden with healthy colour all year round & (in keeping with its name) gives off a fresh, lemon scent when foliage is crushed or cut
- which is said to deter biting insects from that area of your garden. In fact it is such a great all round garden plant it has been awarded the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit! Growing to 2-3m tall, it is naturally upright & slightly teardrop shaped, but can be trimmed to suit your required height. A little & often approach to trimming of the young, soft shoots will allow you to easily keep it to the shape & size that suits you. It is very easy to manage & can be kept in post on the patio for many years, where it will happily sit at centre stage of your displays. Once it has reached the desired height & width, prune the new growth in early summer & mid-autumn each year. A hedge trimmer will leave the perfect finish. Golden Scented Cypress will grow in virtually any soil & in any location from full sun to partial shade (although for the brightest of golden-yellow colour it is best in full sun). It is completely winter hardy throughout the entire UK & is virtually pest & disease resistant too. In the depths of winter the cooler temperatures give the trees an even deeper, richer colouration. Supplied as a pair of 3 year old trees in 3L pots 80cm tall, ready to plant out now. Contents: 2 x Trees

Two feather & down pillows from Downl&, giving you the ultimate in comfort for resting your head. ...

About the Brand: Downland The Downland Bedding Company was established by Thomas Sidney Smith in 1946. Business thrived, soon outgrowing the original factory in Kirby which manufactured mattresses & pillows. Thomas decided to buy the Scott Feather Company where he had plied his trade all those years ago. During the early 1950s, Thomas & his sales team were receiving great demand to work with the high street department stores such as Selfridges, John Lewis, Debenhams & Littlewoods. Thomas realised that he needed to travel to America for inspiration in design, which led to the company becoming the main player in the market place. With great demands from their London clients, Downland opened an additional office on Park Lane in 1960. This success has continued under the leadership of son Graham Smith & grandson Fraser Smith. Staying true to values & heritage instilled by Thomas the foundations are set for another 70 years successful trading by the Downland Bedding Company. ...

Two beautiful Mophead Hydrangeas which will explode with a profusion of magically-coloured rich pink flower heads all summer. The ' Magical’ series are abundantly flowering, compact, multi-stemmed Hydrangeas with wonderfully colourful flowers. Very easy to grow, these fully-hardy Hydrangeas thrive in moist soil in semi shade (or sun with shade during the hottest part of the day). They provide the perfect foil for perennials (particularly alliums) & annual bedding, & are equally at home in a pot on your patio or balcony & they’re wonderful cut flowers for vases or bouquets. Supplied as a pair of established plants in 14cm pots. Care Just plant in position, water well, & add some fertiliser
- they’ll burst into growth & flower profusely all summer! This plant is at its best in a most soil as long as it is well drained, in sun or partial shade. The more sun the plant gets, the better the flower colour. A moisture-loving plant, remember to water regularly & deeply. Hardy in the UK, frost can cause a lot of damage to young buds, reducing the number of flowers, so it’s advisable to protect your plant with fleece if freezing weather is likely. Pruning is generally best carried out early spring. A general tidy up is usually all that is needed & consists of removing the dead bloom from each stem, cutting back to the first strong, healthy pair of buds down from the faded flower. As Hydrangeas flower on the previous year's growth, cut out 1 or 2 of the oldest stems, in spring, at the base to encourage the production of new, replacement growth that will carry more flowers.

- they’ll burst into growth & flower profusely all summer! Hardy in the UK, frost can cause a lot of damage to young buds, reducing the number of flowers, so it’s advisable to protect your plant with fleece if freezing weather is likely. As this hydrangea flowers on new wood, you can leave the faded hydrangea flower heads in place until the new buds begin to swell in spring – this also protects the new growth from frost damage. Just cut back the stems to a strong pair of buds. Remove any branches that are damaged or dead as well as any that are misplaced. After pruning hydrangeas, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant.

Care Planting advice for Hydrangea ' Polestar': Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade with shelter from cold drying winds. Dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting & mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole & use this to re-fill once the shrub is in place. Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly & allow to drain. Remove the plant from its pot & tease out a few of the roots. Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker. Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot & refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling). Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball & water well. Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc. If you're planting into pots, use the best compost you can buy & add some sand or grit for drainage & to weigh the pot down. Aftercare advice for your Hydrangea: Water regularly & apply a general-purpose feed every two weeks during the growing period. Pruning Advice for Hydrangea Paniculata: Prune hard in early spring to encourage flowering. Cut back the previous season's shoots to within a few buds of the permanent, woody framework of the plant.
