Echinacea Purpurea

€16.99

Echinaceas have grown in popularity in recent years, thanks to the trend for prairie-style planting. They’re easy to grow as they tolerate most soils, and their sturdy nature means that staking is unnecessary. Echinacea purpurea has pink, daisy-like flowers with a large, cone-shaped centre. It’s perfect for growing in drifts among the border or among grasses and rudbeckias in a prairie-style planting scheme, and is extremely attractive to pollinators. Its flowers are long-lived and are excellent for cutting.

Flower Carpet Rose Mixed

€12.99

Lower Carpet Roses – also often referred to as The Carpet Rose – are the world’s number one ground cover rose. Once established, some varieties can produce an astonishing display of up to 2,000 flowers from spring through to autumn. They’re extraordinarily low maintenance and have exceptional disease resistance. Better still, once established their well-developed root system means they’re drought and low-water tolerant: surface roots take up available surface water while deeper roots access lower level water in drought conditions. As for pruning, once a year in late winter or early spring, all you need is a pair of garden shears to cut them back by a third any which way. This is the rose that needs no guessing, no worrying. Really… No kidding. Simple to grow and easy to maintain, it doesn't require spraying. Simply cut back to a third of its size once in late Winter or early Spring. And during the long flowering season, this rose will self-clean so that there's no need for fancy pruning or deadheading. Key Features •Masses of iridescent blooms •Rich glossy green foliage •Attractive bush shape and appearance •Disease-resistance, easy-care maintenance •Easy care •No fancy pruning required

Agapanthus Twister

€18.99

A compact, bi-coloured form of Agapanthus or African lily, Agapanthus Twister is a clump-forming, deciduous perennial, ideal for the smaller garden. Strap-like, deep green leaves appear in spring. From July to September, large, globular flower-heads of trumpet-shaped, white florets with a violet-blue base are borne on sturdy stems. African lilies are very good in pots, grown in soil-based compost with slow-release fertiliser granules, as they flower well when their roots are confined, but be aware that pot-grown plants are more vulnerable to frost, so the pots should be brought under cover in winter in colder areas. African lily Twister holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Elaeagnus Pungens Maculata

€8.50

The Elaeagnus Pungens Maculata is a beautiful and colourful, bushy evergreen hedge. It has scaly leaves that are silver in colour, however they soon turn into a mature yet young looking vibrant yellow and green colour. It produces small, scented, white tubular flowers during the autumnal months that are followed by fruit that is small and juicy in the spring. The Elaeagnus Pungens Maculata prefers soil that is either sand, loam, chalk or clay, but must be well drained. It can either be planted in a sunny position or where there is partial shade, and it doesn’t mind whether that is in an exposed or sheltered position. It can grow up to four metres high and between two and a half to four meters wide in two to five years, which is quicker than the rest of its family. On average, it will grow up to one foot a year. It’s best to prune these during the late spring, preferably in either April or May, once it has finished producing its fruit. When it comes to planting the Elaeagnus Pungens Maculata we would suggest to plant it eighteen to twenty-four inches apart from one another. It works really well as an all year privacy hedge thanks to being evergreen. We have a range of Elaeagnus Pungens Maculata plants available in pot form.
