Dahlia 'Myama Fubuki' bears large, creamy white dinnerplate flowers that bring a calm, luminous presence to summer and autumn planting while pairing beautifully with almost any colour scheme.
The blooms are generous and softly layered, sitting on strong stems that make the variety equally useful for feature planting and cutting gardens.
Grow in a sunny, sheltered site with rich, free-draining soil, planting once frosts have passed and giving the stems early support as plants begin to bulk up.
Deadhead often for continuous flowering and lift tubers after the first frosts in areas where winter temperatures fall low enough to damage them.
Hosta 'White Feather' is a distinctive foliage perennial whose leaves emerge creamy white in spring before gradually developing green veining and more colour as the season progresses.
The effect is luminous in shady borders and pots, where the bright young foliage helps lift darker planting combinations. Pale lavender flowers appear in summer above the clump.
Plant in partial shade in moisture-retentive but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid hot, exposed spots, especially where the white young foliage could scorch.
Water regularly during dry periods and protect emerging shoots from slugs. Mulching each year helps keep the soil cool and fertile while the clump establishes.
Dahlia ‘Playa Blanca’ is a striking white cactus variety that brings texture and brightness to the summer garden. Its name, meaning "White Beach," perfectly describes the clean, fresh look of its spiky, incurved petals that radiate from a tight centre.
The plant is a vigorous grower, producing straight stems that are ideal for cutting. The unique cactus form, with its rolled, quill-like petals, adds a modern, architectural element to floral arrangements and garden beds alike.
Plant in full sun to maintain the snowy whiteness of the blooms, in soil that is rich in organic matter. Good drainage is vital, as dahlia tubers can rot in cold, wet ground.
Support the plant with stakes or netting to keep the stems upright during heavy rains. Deadhead frequently to promote a long flowering window, and lift the tubers in autumn to store them safely away from frost.
A brilliant choice for contemporary garden designs, ‘Playa Blanca’ offers a crisp, sculptural look that contrasts beautifully with soft grasses and broad-leaved foliage plants.
Lilium 'Oriental Mixed' brings a fragrant mix of oriental lilies in a range of colours to summer borders and patio pots, with bold, outward-facing blooms that make a striking feature. The flowers are long-lasting and eye-catching, adding instant impact to planting schemes and bouquets alike.
Reaching an established height of around 90–120 cm, these lilies form sturdy stems and glossy green foliage, with multiple buds per stem. They flower reliably in mid to late summer and return each year in the right conditions.
Plant bulbs in spring or autumn in a sunny or lightly shaded position with well-drained, fertile soil. Work in compost and avoid waterlogged sites; lilies prefer moisture during growth but hate sitting in winter wet.
Water during dry spells while shoots develop and as buds form, then reduce once flowering finishes. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring and again as buds appear, and remove spent flowers while leaving stems and leaves to die back naturally.
Ideal for borders, containers and cutting gardens, lilies create a dramatic vertical accent and pair beautifully with perennials and grasses. Established clumps can be lifted and divided every few years if needed.
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.
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.
