Allium 'Moly Jeannine' (Yellow garlic) is a standout plant for pots & containers, borders, gravel gardens, rock gardens, offering A vigorous, clump-forming allium with neat grey-green foliage and cheerful, starry umbels of bright yellow in early summer—excellent for pots, gravel gardens and sunny borders..

Best grown in full-sun with well-drained soil, it suits gardeners who want clear structure, dependable flowering, and easy planting plans.

Use it in pots & containers, borders, gravel gardens, rock gardens and pair with complementary varieties to build a fuller seasonal display.

Anemone × hybrida 'Rotkäppchen' brings deep rose-pink, semi-double flowers to late-summer borders, opening on slender stems above handsome, deep green foliage. The saucer-like blooms hover gracefully and keep the garden going just as many perennials begin to fade, adding movement and light to mixed planting schemes.

Typically reaching around 75–100cm once established, Japanese anemones form clump-forming plants that spread gently by suckers over time. They flower for weeks from late summer into autumn and are excellent for weaving through grasses and shrubs, as well as for cutting when stems are harvested in bud.

Plant in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Choose a sheltered spot and enrich the planting area with compost to help retain moisture. Water well after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while roots establish.

Mulch annually in spring to conserve moisture and feed the soil, and water during prolonged dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers for a tidier display, and cut back stems once the plant has finished in autumn. Divide congested clumps in early spring if you want to control spread or increase stock.

Perfect for naturalistic borders, cottage-style planting and late-season pollinator support, these anemones also make long-lasting cut flowers. Their airy habit pairs beautifully with asters, rudbeckias and ornamental grasses, extending colour and texture into the autumn months.

Begonia 'Bouton de Rose' (Double) produces rose-like double blooms with pink-red edging that sit above glossy green foliage, bringing instant theatre to shaded patios, doorstep pots and hanging baskets. The blooms are richly textured and long-lasting, making this a go-to choice for summer colour where sun-loving plants struggle.

Tuberous begonias develop compact, bushy growth with plenty of flowers from early summer through to the first frosts. They’re particularly effective in containers, where you can show off the blooms at eye level and keep growth even with regular watering and feeding.

Start tubers indoors in spring or plant outside once frosts have passed. Choose fertile, well-drained soil or a free-draining compost, and position in bright shade or partial shade away from hot afternoon sun and drying winds. Plant the tuber shallowly with the hollow side facing up.

Water carefully until growth is established, then keep the compost evenly moist but never waterlogged. Feed every two weeks during flowering for the best display, and remove spent blooms to encourage continuous performance. Provide shelter from heavy rain and strong winds to protect the flowers.

Perfect for shaded borders, patio displays and hanging baskets, begonias also add late-season impact when paired with ferns, heucheras and foliage plants. Lift and store tubers after the first frost in colder areas, ready to restart next spring.

A small treasure for pots, windowsills and sheltered terraces, Oxalis deppei ‘Iron Cross’ is grown as much for its foliage as its flowers. Each clover-like leaf is neatly stamped with a deep burgundy cross, creating a smart, graphic effect from the moment growth begins.

Come summer, slender stems lift dainty rose-pink blooms above the leaves, bringing a light, cheerful finish that suits container displays beautifully. A charming choice for indoor growing, and equally happy outside once nights are mild.

Begonia 'Fimbriata White' produces crisp white, frilled blooms that look like soft crepe-paper pompoms, bringing rich colour and a soft, petal-packed look to summer containers and sheltered borders from early summer onwards.

Forming a upright, leafy clump, this tuberous begonia typically reaches an established height of around 30–50 cm in a single season, with repeat-flowering stems that keep the display fresh when you remove faded blooms.

Start tubers in a frost-free place in spring, then plant outside once all risk of frost has passed. Choose humus-rich, well-drained soil and a sheltered spot with bright shade or gentle morning sun, as strong midday sun can scorch leaves and flowers.

Water carefully until growth is established, then keep the compost evenly moist (never waterlogged). Feed every two to three weeks through the growing season for stronger flowering, and protect plants from heavy rain and wind to prevent damage to the blooms.

Ideal for patio pots, window boxes and shaded beds, these begonias provide long-lasting colour and are easy to overwinter: lift the tubers after the first frost, dry them off, and store in a cool, frost-free place until spring.

Dahlia 'Purple Explosion' produces bold decorative blooms in deep purple edged white, creating a crisp, high-contrast effect that stands out from a distance and adds drama to summer planting.

The flowers are full and rounded, held above a strong, bushy plant that provides dependable colour from midsummer until frost and plenty of stems for cutting.

Plant in a sunny, sheltered position after the danger of frost has passed, using fertile, well-drained soil and giving the plant support if conditions are windy.

Keep deadheading and watering through dry spells to maintain flowering, then lift and store the tubers once autumn frosts arrive.

Allium ‘Roseum’ is a charming, lightly naturalistic allium, carrying loose heads of soft pink, cup-shaped flowers above narrow, grassy foliage. It’s a wonderfully simple way to weave gentle colour through late spring and into early summer—particularly handsome when planted in drifts through borders or tucked into containers for a relaxed, cottage-garden finish.

• Flower colour: soft pink and white
• Height: 60cm

With its refined, airy presence, this is a lovely companion to late tulips and fresh spring greens, and it’s also welcome in wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

Allium 'Globemaster' is the sort of bulb that brings instant composure to a planting scheme. In late spring, tall, steady stems carry magnificent, perfectly rounded heads of rich violet-purple, each globe composed of countless starry florets. Rising above grey-green foliage, it adds architectural rhythm through borders and naturalistic drifts, while offering a welcome pause of structure amongst softer perennials.

A refined choice for cottage gardens and smarter city courtyards alike, and particularly valuable where you’d like planting that quietly supports pollinators.

Dahlia 'Cactus Mixed' brings a mixed collection of spiky cactus dahlias for bold borders to summer borders and cutting gardens, with bold flowerheads held on sturdy stems. Whether planted in drifts or dotted through mixed beds, the blooms add instant impact and keep coming through the warm months.

Once established, this clump-forming dahlia typically reaches 90–120 cm, producing plenty of long stems for cutting. Regular picking and deadheading encourages a steady succession of flowers from midsummer into autumn.

Start tubers in a frost-free place in spring, or plant outside once the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil, and enrich the planting area with compost for best results.

Water during dry spells, especially while buds form, and feed every two to three weeks through the flowering period. Taller plants benefit from discreet staking, and removing faded blooms keeps the plant productive and tidy.

Perfect for borders, patio pots and cutting gardens, dahlias are also pollinator-friendly in single-flowered forms. Lift and store the tubers after the first frosts in colder areas to enjoy an even better display the following year.

Hemerocallis ‘Frans Hals’ is a dependable daylily with eye-catching, bicolour blooms that light up sunny borders, cottage gardens, and low-maintenance planting schemes throughout summer.

Forming a tidy, bushy clump of strap-like foliage, it sends up sturdy stems topped with large, funnel-shaped flowers in warm orange and yellow tones, delivering bold colour with minimal fuss.

Plant in full sun for the strongest flowering, in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Daylilies are tolerant of a wide range of soils and cope well once established, making them ideal for many gardens.

Water during prolonged dry spells in spring and early summer to support bud formation. Remove spent flower stems after flowering and tidy away dead foliage; clumps can be divided every few years if needed.

A brilliant choice for borders and cutting, ‘Frans Hals’ also supports pollinators and provides reliable structure at the front to middle of beds, pairing easily with grasses and late-summer perennials.

Begonia 'Pendula Red' (Double) produces cascading double red blooms that sit above glossy green foliage, bringing instant theatre to shaded patios, doorstep pots and hanging baskets.
