Freesia 'Double Mixed' produces a fragrant mix of double, funnel-shaped flowers on gently arching stems, filling borders and patio pots with colour and a sweet scent. Freesias are also excellent cut flowers and last well in a vase.
Growing to around 25–45 cm, they form narrow, fresh green leaves and send up multiple buds per stem. With warm conditions and bright light, they flower through late summer and into early autumn.
Plant corms in spring in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil, or start them in pots under cover for earlier growth. Freesias prefer warmth and do best where they are protected from cold winds.
Water after planting and keep compost lightly moist as shoots appear, increasing watering as buds form. Feed weekly with a liquid fertiliser once flower spikes develop, and provide support if stems need it.
Perfect for containers, greenhouse growing, and sunny borders, freesias bring perfume and colour to small spaces. After flowering, reduce watering and store corms dry and frost-free if grown outdoors.
Polianthes 'The Pearl' produces fragrant double white blooms on tall spikes, sending up dramatic flower spikes that add height, scent, and structure to summer borders and patio pots. The blooms open progressively up the stem, giving a longer display and excellent cut flowers.
Reaching an established height of around 90–120 cm, this bulb forms neat clumps of fresh green foliage, then delivers its flowers in the warmest part of the season when many spring bulbs have finished.
Plant in spring in a warm, sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. Work in compost to improve fertility and drainage, and avoid waterlogged ground, which can rot dormant bulbs.
Water during dry spells while growth is active and feed every two to three weeks once buds form for stronger flowering. Remove spent flower stems if you prefer a tidy look, but leave foliage until it dies back naturally to feed next year’s bulb.
Ideal for borders, containers and cutting gardens, these spikes bring a tropical note to planting schemes. In colder areas, lift and store bulbs once foliage yellows, or protect them well in a sheltered spot.
Lamprocapnos spectabilis (syn. Dicentra spectabilis) is the classic bleeding heart, loved for its arching stems lined with heart‑shaped flowers in spring. The blooms are typically pink with white tips, and the softly divided foliage gives a graceful, traditional cottage‑garden look.
Plant in partial shade in moist, fertile soil that drains well. It’s perfect beneath light‑canopied trees, alongside hostas and ferns, or tucked into the middle of a border where later‑flowering plants can take over as it finishes for the year.
Set the crown at the same depth as it was growing and water well while it establishes. Mulch in spring to keep roots cool and retain moisture. In very dry spells, watering helps prevent the plant going dormant too quickly after flowering.
After blooming, foliage may fade back as summer arrives. Leave it to die down naturally, then clear away old stems once they are dry. Mark the spot so you don’t disturb the crown, and avoid digging close to the plant while it’s resting.
You’ll receive one plant in the stated grade, dispatched in season for planting. With a little patience, it will form a long‑lived clump that returns each spring with a fresh display of dangling hearts, ready to welcome pollinators back to the garden.
Oxalis triangularis is loved for its dramatic purple foliage and delicate white flowers above deep purple leaves, bringing a jewel-toned feel to pots, hanging baskets, and sunny windowsills. It’s a brilliant way to add colour and texture with minimal fuss.
Growing to around 20–30 cm, oxalis forms compact clumps and can flower repeatedly through the warmer months. The leaves open and close with the light, adding extra movement and interest to displays.
Grow in well-drained compost or soil, in a sheltered spot with bright light. It can be grown outdoors in summer and moved under cover before frosts, or kept as an easy houseplant year-round.
Water when the top of the compost dries out and feed lightly during active growth. Oxalis may go dormant at times; if growth slows, reduce watering and allow it to rest before it resprouts.
Perfect for containers, windowsills and conservatories, this plant also works well in sheltered courtyard gardens during summer. Its compact habit makes it ideal for adding colour to small spaces.
Anemone nemorosa 'Blue Eyes' is a woodland classic, bringing white flowers with a sky-blue eye to shady corners in early spring. The starry blooms appear in a fresh carpet above finely cut foliage, brightening banks, underplanting and the front of borders when little else is flowering, and they look especially beautiful planted in repeating groups.
Reaching about 15–25cm in flower, wood anemones spread steadily to form natural-looking colonies. They are ideal for planting beneath deciduous trees and shrubs, where they enjoy spring light before the canopy closes, and they naturalise beautifully in woodland-style gardens.
Plant rootstocks in autumn or early spring in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. A position in partial shade is ideal, though they will tolerate sun in cool, damp ground. Water after planting and keep soil just moist while new growth establishes.
Once settled, wood anemones are low maintenance. Leave foliage to die back naturally after flowering so plants can recharge for next year. A light mulch of leaf mould or compost in autumn supports healthy colonies and helps retain soil moisture.
Use wood anemones to create spring drifts under shrubs, along pathways and on woodland edges. The flowers are pollinator-friendly and provide early nectar, while the spreading habit helps knit planting together for a soft, natural finish.
Anemone × hybrida ‘Königin Charlotte’ (Queen Charlotte) is an award‑winning Japanese anemone with rich rose‑pink, semi‑double flowers carried on tall stems from late summer into autumn. The large blooms add colour and movement when many borders are fading. Overlapping petals give a fuller look, with a warm yellow centre.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile, moist but well‑drained soil. It’s excellent at the back of a mixed border, where its stems can weave naturally through neighbouring plants and grasses. A little afternoon shade can be helpful in hotter gardens.
Over time it forms a substantial clump and can spread, so allow space and try not to move it once established. Pair it with asters, salvias and ornamental grasses for a long season of interest. It’s particularly effective in drifts, where repeated clumps create rhythm through the border.
Mulch in spring, water in dry spells, and avoid excessive winter wet. Stems usually hold well, but a light support can help in exposed gardens. Adding organic matter helps sandy soils hold moisture and supports better flowering.
Cut back after flowering, or leave stems standing over winter and tidy in spring. A dependable perennial for late‑summer colour with a soft, romantic feel. As an RHS AGM cultivar, it’s a dependable choice for late‑season colour.
Anemone × hybrida ‘Honorine Jobert’ is a classic Japanese anemone prized for elegant, semi‑double white flowers on tall, wiry stems from late summer into autumn. The clear white blooms brighten borders and work beautifully in twilight gardens. Each flower has a bright boss of yellow stamens for contrast.
Plant in full sun or partial shade in soil that remains moist but drains well. It’s happiest in richer ground and is well suited to the back of a border, where it can rise through neighbouring perennials and shrubs. It’s a good choice for brightening slightly shaded borders and underplanting shrubs.
As it settles in, it forms a clump and may gradually spread, so give it room and avoid disturbing it unnecessarily. The flowers are excellent for cutting, and the foliage stays attractive for much of the season. Try pairing with ferns, hostas and grasses for a calm, natural look.
Mulch annually with compost and water during dry spells to encourage plenty of blooms. In exposed sites, neighbouring plants often provide enough support, but discreet staking is helpful in windy positions. A spring mulch also helps keep roots cool, especially in sunnier gardens.
Cut stems back in late autumn, or leave them for winter structure and tidy up in spring. A timeless, award‑winning plant for late‑season colour. Given time, it can become a generous clump with a long run of blooms.
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.

Hosta ‘Big Daddy’ is a statement perennial for shade, grown for its huge, blue-grey, heavily puckered leaves that form a dramatic mound in borders and large containers, bringing texture and calm structure all season.
A clump-forming plant, it can reach around 60cm high (and larger in time) with a substantial spread, making it ideal as a focal point in shady beds. In early summer it produces stems of pale, bell-shaped flowers.
Plant in partial shade in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Hostas prefer cool roots and benefit from shelter from hot afternoon sun to keep foliage looking its best.
Water regularly during dry weather, particularly in pots, and mulch in spring to conserve moisture. Protect new shoots from slugs and snails, and remove spent flower stems for a tidy finish.
Perfect for woodland borders, shady courtyards and container displays, ‘Big Daddy’ pairs beautifully with ferns, brunnera and hellebores, and provides bold foliage contrast alongside finer-textured plants.
Dicentra ‘Luxuriant’ is a fern‑leaf bleeding heart that forms a neat clump of finely divided foliage, sending up arching stems of dangling blooms from late spring. Unlike the taller, old-fashioned Lamprocapnos spectabilis (formerly Dicentra spectabilis), which typically goes dormant and disappears by mid-summer, ‘Luxuriant’ remains a presence in the garden throughout the season. It is a lovely choice for softening paths, borders, and woodland plantings where lasting greenery is required.
Plant in moist, humus‑rich soil that won’t bake dry. While the common spectabilis requires deep shade to preserve its foliage, ‘Luxuriant’ is more versatile and can cope with sunnier positions if the ground stays moist. Tuck it between hostas and ferns to fill the gaps that spring-only bleeding hearts would leave behind.
Set plants at the same depth they were growing and mulch in spring. The primary advantage over its larger relative is stamina; while spectabilis finishes its show in early June, a light trim and regular watering will encourage ‘Luxuriant’ to produce a fresh flush of growth and blooms well into summer.
The flowers are a rich cherry tone—deeper and more consistent than the classic pink-and-white hearts of spectabilis—bringing a warm accent to the garden. You’ll receive one plant in the stated grade, ready to provide reliable spring‑to‑summer colour and attractive, ferny foliage that keeps borders looking finished long after other bleeding hearts have faded.
Astilbe japonica ‘Bonn’ produces soft, feathery plumes of deep pink flowers that bring a light, elegant feel to shady borders, woodland gardens and moisture-retentive containers in early summer.
A compact, clump-forming perennial, it typically reaches around 10–50cm, carrying flowers just above attractive, fern-like foliage. Plant in drifts for a glowing, cloud-like effect through June and July.
Grow in dappled or partial shade in moist, humus-rich soil. Astilbes dislike drying out, so they perform best where the soil stays evenly moist, including near ponds or in consistently watered borders.
Water during dry spells, mulch in spring to conserve moisture, and cut back spent flower stems if you prefer a tidy look. Alternatively, leave seedheads for gentle texture into autumn.
Ideal for shady borders and waterside planting, ‘Bonn’ combines beautifully with hostas, ferns and brunnera. The plumes also make charming stems for cutting or drying.
Hosta ‘Patriot’ is a reliable shade perennial with bold, white-edged leaves that bring instant brightness to woodland borders, shady patios and large containers, adding texture and structure from spring to autumn.
Forming a clump to around 55cm tall, it produces spikes of funnel-shaped, lavender-blue flowers in summer. The leaves are puckered and sturdy, creating a handsome mound that works as groundcover or a focal point.
Plant in partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Hostas prefer cool roots, so they benefit from mulch and from protection from hot afternoon sun in exposed gardens.
Water regularly in dry spells, especially in pots, and mulch in spring to conserve moisture. Protect new shoots from slugs and snails, and remove spent flower stems after flowering for a tidy finish.
Ideal for shady borders, underplanting, and container displays, ‘Patriot’ pairs beautifully with ferns, brunnera and hellebores, and provides strong foliage contrast alongside finer-textured plants.
Oxalis 'Iron Cross' is grown for its distinctive foliage and bright pink, funnel-shaped flowers above distinctive cross-marked leaves, adding colour and texture to pots, borders and summer displays. The leaves open and close with the light, bringing extra movement and charm to containers.
At around 15 cm tall when in flower, oxalis makes a neat, spreading clump that works well as underplanting or ground cover in warm months. It blooms from late spring through summer in bright conditions.
Plant bulbs in spring once the soil starts to warm, in full sun or light shade. Use well-drained soil or compost and avoid waterlogging, especially early in the season while bulbs are starting into growth.
Water after planting and keep lightly moist while in active growth. If the plant goes dormant at any point, reduce watering and allow it to rest, then resume watering when new growth appears.
Ideal for patio pots, edging and rock gardens, oxalis can also be lifted and stored frost-free in colder areas. Bring pots under cover before hard frosts to enjoy the foliage for longer.
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.
Anemone × hybrida ‘September Charm’ is an RHS Award of Garden Merit Japanese anemone with softly cupped, rose‑pink flowers that open from late summer into autumn. It’s a gentle, luminous colour that lifts borders as the seasons change. Petals are slightly deeper pink on the reverse, so the flowers keep their colour as they sway.
Grow in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile soil that stays moist but well‑drained. It’s ideal for the middle of a mixed border, where its wiry stems can rise through nearby plants without looking heavy. A spot with morning sun and a little later shade often keeps foliage at its best.
‘September Charm’ forms clumps and can spread once happy, making it useful for naturalistic planting and larger drifts. The flowers are also lovely in simple vase arrangements, especially with seed heads and grasses. It’s excellent with sedums, rudbeckias and grasses for a long‑season display.
Mulch in spring, water in dry weather, and avoid waterlogging in winter. Once established it’s resilient and will come back year after year with minimal fuss. If the clump expands too far, divide in spring and replant sections where you want them.
Cut stems back after flowering, or leave them standing for winter interest and tidy in spring. A pollinator‑friendly perennial for extending the season. It’s an easy way to keep borders looking fresh into autumn.
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.
