It thrives in partially shaded borders and woodland-style planting and is particularly valuable for providing flowers when little else is in bloom.
A truly exotic and highly sought-after climber, Lapageria rosea produces large, waxy, bell-shaped flowers in rich rose-pink shades that hang elegantly among glossy evergreen foliage.

A rare and elegant climber that brings an exotic woodland character to the garden, with striking pendant flowers and attractive evergreen foliage throughout the year.

Nepeta faassenii 'Walker's Low' is an award-winning perennial loved for its long-lasting display of soft lavender-blue flower spikes and aromatic grey-green foliage. Despite its name, it forms generous, arching mounds that create a relaxed, natural look in borders.
Flowering from late spring well into autumn, it attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators in abundance while being drought tolerant and easy to care for once established. Ideal for cottage gardens, gravel gardens, and edging pathways, this reliable perennial pairs beautifully with roses, salvias, and ornamental grasses.
A wonderfully free-flowering clematis, 'Arabella' produces masses of rich lavender-blue flowers continuously through summer and into early autumn. Unlike traditional climbing clematis, this variety has a more relaxed, scrambling habit, weaving naturally through shrubs, supports and perennial borders.
The star-shaped flowers gradually soften to paler blue tones as they mature, while attractive fluffy seed heads add further seasonal interest. An excellent choice for obelisks, trellis supports, cottage garden borders or allowing to weave naturally through roses and shrubs for a softer, informal effect.
Characteristics:
Type: Herbaceous scrambling climber
Soil: Fertile, moist but well drained soil; roots prefer cool, shaded conditions
Hydrangea 'Living Infinity' is a compact, long-flowering mophead hydrangea that brings months of colour to the garden. Producing large, rounded flower heads that open pink and deepen to rich rosy tones as they mature, this variety flowers repeatedly from summer into autumn, providing an exceptionally long display.
Its neat, bushy habit makes it ideal for borders, containers, patios, and smaller gardens where reliable colour is desired throughout the season.
Horticultural Note: Excellent for patio containers, mixed borders, and cottage-style planting schemes. The exceptionally long flowering season makes it a valuable source of colour from early summer well into autumn. Flowers are also attractive for cutting and drying.
