Hi

Newsletter Content Goes Here

Kolkwitzia Pink Cloud - The common name for this plant is 'Beauty Bush' and the botanical 'amabilis' means lovely so you know that this is just a beautiful flowering shrub. Bell shaped pink blooms drape the arching branches from late spring to early summer. Flaky bark that peels off in winter. Delightful and deciduous. 

Chimonanthus praecox luteus  - We don't often have this grafted form of Chimonanthus but its an awarding winning cultivar of the much loved and highly fragrant 'Winter Sweet'.  Bright clear yellow waxy flowers appear in abundance on bare branches in winter and fill the air with their delicious fragrance.  Chimonathus praecox has stunning translucent soft lemon yellow blooms by comparison but they still pack a powerful fragrance. I would have to say this shrub would have to be one of my favourites and more so because its flowers dureing the coldest months which I pick stems of to bring inside.

Plant in sun or part shade, perhaps towards the back of the garden as it grows into quite the shrub reaching some 2 metres.

Potted strawberries

Camarosa - This delicious Strawberry has large, conical shaped, dark red fruit with firm flesh and an excellent flavour. The main crop is ripe around December-January. Shows good disease resistance. Plant in well drained fertile soil and provide afternoon shade for best results. PVR. 

To get the very best out of your Strawberry patch look at our 'How to' page for growing tips.
