No garden is complete without a Magnolia! This beautiful, new, spring-flowering variety will herald the end of winter with its stunning flowers. Magnolia Sunrise will make a spectacular feature plant planted in a border or in a large pot on the patio. Height: 5-6 feet.
Dwarf Mallow. This compact version of a cottage garden favourite, Lavatera Barnsley Baby is useful for borders and patio containers, where the branching plants give racemes of hollyhock-like, soft pink blooms.
This clump-forming, free-flowering perennial features branching stems bearing masses of 2.5cm (1 inch) lemon-yellow daisy blooms which smother the compact plants all summer - it's like having permanent sunshine in your borders. Also good for cutting. Easy in well-drained, sandy soil in full sun.
This captivating herbaceous perennial is a 'must' for the connoisseur. From leafy rosettes rise tall stems bearing spectacular, single 10cm (4 inch) flowers of rich to pale blue. A much better garden plant and more reliable than M. betonicifolia. It enjoys a cool, sheltered position with free-draining, deep, rich and fertile soil. A short-lived perennial.
