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.

Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' is a charming miniature hosta grown chiefly for its rounded, blue-grey leaves, which form a neat, dense clump ideal for shady containers, front-of-border positions and small-space planting.

In summer it carries short stems of lavender flowers above the foliage, adding a soft seasonal lift without distracting from the plant's tidy, compact form.

Plant in partial shade in humus-rich soil that stays evenly moist but drains well, and protect young shoots from slugs while the plant establishes.

Water during dry spells, especially in pots, and remove old leaves in late winter or early spring before the new foliage emerges.

Hosta sieboldiana var. elegans is a classic shade perennial prized for its bold, heavily textured foliage that adds structure to borders, woodland gardens, and large containers from spring right through autumn.

Forming a broad, clump-forming mound, this hosta develops blue-grey leaves that become even more impressive as the plant matures, creating a strong backdrop for neighbouring flowers and underplanting.

Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in a sheltered spot with partial shade. It performs best where the ground stays evenly moist, especially during the first growing season.

Water regularly in dry spells, mulch in spring to conserve moisture, and remove tired foliage as it dies back. Protect emerging growth from slugs and snails, and divide congested clumps every few years.

Ideal for shady borders and underplanting, hostas also provide valuable cover for beneficial wildlife and bring a calm, architectural feel to planting schemes where flowers can be harder to achieve.

Ismene ‘Sulphur Queen’ is a particularly refined spider lily, valued for its elegant, creamy-yellow blooms and gentle fragrance. Each flower is beautifully poised, with a subtle green-striped throat, bringing a softly exotic note to summer pots and sheltered borders.

Plant where it can enjoy warmth and good drainage, then lift and store the bulbs over winter for best results. An excellent choice for cutting, too—its blooms add poise to a simple vase arrangement.

Lilium 'Conca d’Or' brings large yellow blooms from a robust OT hybrid lily to summer borders and patio pots, with bold, upward-facing blooms that make a striking feature. The flowers are richly coloured and long-lasting, adding instant impact to planting schemes and bouquets alike.

Reaching an established height of around 120–150 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. Their strong stems make them excellent cut flowers, and established clumps can be lifted and divided every few years if needed.

Lilium 'Manitoba Morning' is a graceful martagon lily with soft coral-pink flowers, lightly speckled and carried in airy clusters on tall stems that bring height and movement to early summer planting.

It is especially well suited to naturalistic borders and lightly shaded gardens, where its reflexed flowers and whorled foliage create a more relaxed, woodland feel than many other garden lilies.

Plant bulbs in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, taking care not to let the bulbs sit in winter wet. Once settled, martagon lilies dislike disturbance and often improve year after year.

Water during prolonged dry weather while in growth, and leave stems to fade naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy for the next season.

Monarda ‘Cambridge Scarlet’ produces vivid, shaggy scarlet flower heads that bring hot summer colour to borders and cutting gardens, and it’s a standout plant for attracting pollinators in wildlife-friendly planting.

Forming a vigorous clump to around 90cm, it carries its blooms above aromatic foliage and flowers over several weeks in summer, creating a bold vertical accent and plenty of stems for informal bouquets.

Plant in full sun or light partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Monarda performs best where it isn’t allowed to dry out completely and where air can move around the leaves.

Water during dry spells, mulch in spring, and deadhead to extend the display. In autumn, cut back spent stems to the base, and divide clumps every few years to keep plants vigorous and flowering well.

Perfect for cottage borders and mixed planting with grasses and perennials, this bee balm is also valuable for bees and butterflies, making it both beautiful and beneficial in the summer garden.

Nerine bowdenii produces shimmering, wavy-petalled pink flowers in autumn, bringing late-season sparkle to borders and containers when many summer flowers are fading. Its wavy-petalled blooms sit on strong stems and are excellent for cutting.

Reaching an established height of around 45–60 cm, nerines flower in autumn and prefer warmth and sun to set buds well. They are a superb choice for gravel gardens and south-facing borders where drainage is sharp.

Plant bulbs in late summer in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. Set bulbs about 10cm apart; in milder areas leave the neck showing, while colder sites benefit from slightly deeper planting for frost protection.

Water lightly until growth is established, then keep on the drier side during summer dormancy. Feed in spring to support foliage growth, and remove spent flowerheads if you want a tidy finish.

Perfect for pots and sunny borders, nerines pair beautifully with ornamental grasses and autumn perennials. Once settled, they can increase into impressive clumps with very little attention.

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.

Paeonia 'Bartzella' is a striking intersectional peony with large, lemon-yellow blooms often lightly flushed or marked near the centre, bringing a luminous focal point to late spring borders.

The flowers are carried on strong stems above handsome divided foliage, combining the flower power of herbaceous peonies with the sturdy framework and garden presence of Itoh types.

Plant in full sun or light shade in fertile, well-drained soil, taking care to position the eyes only a little below the soil surface for reliable flowering.

Once established, peonies are long-lived and resent disturbance, so water in dry spells early on, mulch annually and allow the foliage to die back naturally each autumn.
