Grows to a height of 1.5m (5ft) and width of 4m (13ft). Care Planting Advice for your Ceanothus Grow Ceanothus in a sunny, sheltered site in fertile, well-drained soil, ?protected from 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. We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through. 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, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage & ballast. Use the best compost you can buy & some sand or grit for drainage. Aftercare Advice for Ceanothus Keep plants well-watered while they establish, especially if planted up in a pot. Hardy to -10°C, protect from cold winds as it is these that tend to cause the most damage to young plants.? Pruning Advice for Ceanothus Ceanothus requires no special pruning; only occasional maintenance is needed to remove any growth that has been damaged over winter.

These beautiful blooms, each around 5cm in diameter, are incredibly tough whatever the weather & are held upwards instead of nodding downwards like most hellebores, up to 35cm above dark, leathery semi-evergreen leaves. Extremely simple to grow, hellebores will slowly establish into small clumps, thriving in lower light & shady spots. They can be grown in pots too, provided they do not dry out in summer. Supplied as 3 established plants in 9cm pots, growing to a height & spread of 35cm. Care Plant in rich, well-drained soil in dappled shade & provide shelter from strong, cold winds. Plants are not happy if left in very dry or waterlogged soil so incorporate plenty of well-rotted organic matter into the planting hole along with some horticultural grit if the soil is heavy. Water regularly during dry spells & mulch annually with leaf mould, chipped bark or other organic matter in autumn. Remove old leaves as the flower buds emerge so that the flowers can be admired.

Three 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 3 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 these Hydrangeas flower on the current season’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.

Create a statement in your garden with this set of great value, Isabella Patina Fusion planters in a gold-washed, weave pattern ...

With their evergreen rosettes of toothed, glossy leaves, these show-stopping beauties are really rewarding with their gorgeous mix of fruity pink, peach, red & yellow colours & the ability to flourish with little more than a pot of free draining compost. In spring tall flower spikes emerge, each topped with vibrantly coloured blooms, which fade through a range of tones that bring a magical quality to the plants. Like many other 'forgotten' plants, Lewisias are undergoing a well-deserved revival & are one of the most spectacular plants that you can grow. Part of a group of plants known as Alpines, they are surprisingly robust & hardy in growth, yet at the same time charming & colourful. Naturally growing in cracks & crevices in rocky areas, Lewisias can cope easily with periods of drought as they are used to sporadic or low rain fall, which make them the perfect candidate for eco-friendly gardens & for areas often subject to hosepipe bans! Plants can be grown in small spaces such as pots & troughs which simulate the natural rocky areas from which many come. This is increasingly important to those of us with small gardens, terraces or balconies. Easy to grow & low maintenance, Lewisias are the perfect plant for new gardeners as you can leave them to their own devices with the occasional watering if conditions get too dry. Supplied as 6 established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting. Care Planting Advice for your Lewisias: Dig a hole roughly the same diameter as the pot your plant is in. Remove your Lewisia from its pot & tease apart any roots which are spiralling round. Lower the plant into the planting hole & backfill with the original soil, gently firming it around the plant. If you’re growing them in a container, ensure that the container has adequate holes for drainage. Most alpines like a neutral or slightly alkaline soil. Add a well-draining compost mix & plant as above.A layer of coarse gravel on top of the soil will help prevent the neck of the plant getting too damp. Water well. Aftercare Advice for your Lewisia: Once you’ve planted your Lewisia, water it thoroughly. Remove or trim any dead leaves in the autumn.move the container to an area that’s in a ‘rain shadow’ (for example, beneath house eaves) in winter.
