Get the meadow look

Sowing wildflower seed doesn't often give the hoped-for results. For a more reliable show we think the Achilleas (yarrow) and Anthemis (chamomile/maguerite) look wonderful together.

These are perennial plants that will come back year after year (and will have an evergreen centre year-round). They are bee-friendly, grow well in poor, dry soils (but aren't too picky) and do best in sun. Anthemis are £5.99 each; Achilleas are available in £3.29 and £4.50 pot sizes in a range of colours.

Really go to town and combine with plants from our cut flower range!

We have a great selection of fresh shrubs at the moment.

Coming into flower now are the dwarf Buddleias.

All grow to around 4ft height, making them great in patio containers as well as in the border.

Unfussy about where they grow they have a wonderful fragrance, are long-flowering and are, of course, fantastic for the butterflies.

Varieties include Buzz Sky Blue, Buzz Indigo, Buzz Velvet, Buzz Candy Pink and Adonis Blue.

We have large pots for £14.99 and some in 3 litre pots at £9.99 each.

The nursery is in full bloom for our newly extended hours starting today!

Our A-Z of herbaceous perennials has been fully restocked, with Penstemon just one of the standouts this week, we have this invaluable evergreen in 1, 2/3 and even 5 litre sizes for instant impact (front left of photo). Prices are £3.99, £5.99 and £7.99.

On our recommended list too are plants for 'cutting' flowers, just £1.99 each, plus larger pot size dahlias from £3.99. We also have ready-made hanging baskets and pots in the glasshouse, alongside summer selections such as Trixi Caliobrachoa (Million bells)/Verbena mixes, Angelonia, Geraniums, Begonias and Zinnias.

The Shrubs and Roses sections are also in full flower - and scent!

Patio plants

We still have an excellent choice of Zonal (upright) Geraniums and semi-trailing Geraniums for £3.50 each.

For something a little different we have a couple of scented varieties: Pelargonium Fragrans Variegatum (pine and nutmeg scent) and Prince of Orange (citrus). Unlike many plants, the scent comes not from the flowers but the leaves.

Gorgeous Angelonias are available in a choice of three colours (£2.99 each), and Sunpatiens (turbo-sized busy lizzies!) are £4.99 each, in choice of white or red.

If you are looking for easy results for your patio pots, pick up a Trixi mix! For £4.99 get three plants in one.

Among them are the delicately pretty Astrantia major Florence, priced £6.99 each.
