Agapanthus ‘Polar Ice’ brings crisp, white flower heads to summer borders and containers, offering a clean, modern look that pairs beautifully with grasses, salvias, and Mediterranean-style planting.

This clump-forming perennial produces upright stems topped with rounded umbels of trumpet-shaped blooms, creating strong vertical accents and reliable colour through the warmest part of the year.

Plant in full sun in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. A warm, sheltered position is best, and agapanthus also performs superbly in containers where drainage can be carefully controlled.

Water regularly during active growth and feed in summer to support flowering. In colder areas, mulch the crown in winter or move containers under cover, then remove spent stems after flowering.

Excellent for pots, sunny borders, and cutting gardens, ‘Polar Ice’ provides pollinators with nectar and brings long-lasting, architectural interest to outdoor spaces from midsummer into early autumn.

Echinacea 'Green Twister' is a distinctive coneflower with lime-green petals flushed lilac-pink toward the centre, giving each bloom a fresh, two-tone look that draws the eye through summer.

It forms a sturdy clump with upright stems and prominent central cones, making it excellent for wildlife-friendly borders, prairie-style planting and cut flowers.

Plant in full sun or light shade in well-drained soil, avoiding sites that remain wet in winter. Once established, it is notably tolerant of heat and short dry spells.

Anemone hupehensis ‘Prinz Heinrich’ is a Japanese anemone that brings deep rose‑pink, semi‑double flowers to the garden from late summer into autumn. The blooms float above divided green foliage on wiry stems, adding movement to borders. The narrow, overlapping petals give a refined, airy finish.

Plant it in full sun or partial shade in soil that stays evenly moist but drains well. It’s especially useful for brightening the edge of woodland planting or mixed borders when many summer perennials are winding down. In hotter positions, a little afternoon shade helps flowers stay fresh.

Over time it forms a clump and can slowly spread, so give it space and avoid moving it once established. It pairs well with ornamental grasses, asters and late‑flowering salvias for a long season of interest. Plant in groups if you’d like a more natural drift over time.

Water during dry spells for better flowering, and add a mulch of compost in spring to support healthy growth. Stems can be lightly supported in exposed spots, but they usually weave naturally through neighbours. Avoid winter waterlogging, but don’t let the soil bake dry in summer.

Cut back in late autumn, or leave stems for winter texture and tidy in spring. A reliable choice for late colour with a soft, romantic look. Once established, Japanese anemones can flower reliably for years.

Echinops 'Blue Glow' produces metallic blue globe-shaped flower heads on sturdy stems, bringing strong form and cool colour to sunny borders from high summer onward.

The rounded blooms contrast beautifully with looser planting styles and are excellent for pollinators, while the stems also dry well for lasting arrangements.

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil, including poorer or drier ground where many softer perennials might struggle. Good drainage is especially important in winter.

Water while establishing, but once settled the plant is notably drought tolerant. Remove spent blooms if preferred or leave seedheads standing for structure.

Brunnera ‘Jack Frost’ is a shade-loving perennial prized for its shimmering, silver-patterned leaves and delicate forget-me-not style blue flowers that appear in spring, lifting woodland borders and shady pots.

Forming a tidy clump, it reaches around 30–50cm in height and gradually spreads to create a generous patch of foliage. It’s a brilliant, low-effort plant for brightening darker corners all season long.

Plant in light to partial shade in moist but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It copes with a wide range of soil types, but appreciates consistent moisture during the growing season.

Water during dry spells, especially in the first year, and mulch in spring to keep roots cool and soil moisture steady. Remove old leaves as new growth appears to keep clumps looking fresh.

Ideal for woodland planting, shady borders and large containers, ‘Jack Frost’ pairs beautifully with hellebores, epimediums and spring bulbs, and is also a great ground-cover plant in dappled shade.

Helleborus orientalis, the Lenten rose, brings nodding, saucer-shaped flowers to shady corners from February to April, when little else is in bloom, and gives early bees a welcome source of nectar. Its glossy, leathery, semi-evergreen leaves make handsome ground cover in dappled shade beneath deciduous trees and shrubs.

A mix of colours: not guaranteed

Our Lenten roses are seed-raised hybrids, so every plant is unique. Flowers range from white and blush pink to deep red and dark plum, often speckled or freckled towards the centre. We can't choose or guarantee the flower colour of any plant. Packs of 3 or 6 are likely to give a mix of shades, but we can't promise different colours. The photos show examples from the range, not the exact plant you'll receive.

What you'll receive

Dormant bare roots, not in flower, ready to plant from autumn to spring. Bare roots can take a season to settle, so flowering may be light in the first spring and improves as the clump establishes.

• Flowers: February to April
• Height and spread: about 45cm when established
• Position: partial to light shade
• Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained
• Hardiness: fully hardy
• Foliage: semi-evergreen; may lose some leaves in a hard winter

Harmful if eaten and the sap may irritate skin, so wear gloves when handling.

Agapanthus africanus 'Dokter Brouwer' brings generous drumstick heads of blue‑lilac trumpets above neat, strap-shaped foliage in midsummer. It’s a simple way to add structure and cool colour to sunny borders, gravel gardens and large patio pots.

This variety stays compact enough for containers, yet still feels architectural. Plant it in a warm, sheltered spot and you’ll get sturdy stems that hold their shape in wind and rain, giving you weeks of colour and a lovely cut‑flower option.

Agapanthus enjoy sun and a fertile, moisture-retentive soil that drains freely. In pots, use a loam-based compost and avoid overpotting—slightly snug roots often encourage better flowering. Try pairing with ornamental grasses, salvias or lavender for an effortless summer look. Once established it copes well with short dry spells, but flowers best with regular moisture.

Water well while the plant is establishing, then keep it evenly moist through summer, especially in containers. Feed monthly with a high‑potassium fertiliser and remove spent flower heads if you’d like a tidier display. The nectar-rich blooms are also a magnet for bees.

In colder areas, give evergreen agapanthus extra winter protection: mulch the crown, wrap containers, or move pots to a frost-free place until spring. Divide crowded clumps in spring to refresh growth and create new plants for other parts of the garden.
