Abutilon megaponticum
£7.95
The red and yellow flowers on Abutilon megaponticum hang like bells on arching stems, although this is not the hardiest shrub I have known it to survive locally for up to 7 years so it’s probably coped with lower than – 5c . A nice warm wall would help, or if you’re in a coastal area you’d be fine. It is worth the effort as this is a real eye catcher always popular here at the nursery.
Plants are supplied in a 9cm pot.

Lemon Verbena, Lippia Citriodora has the most lemony scent of all plants, it almost smells like lemon sherbet ( if only there was a scratch and sniff feature on your screen!). Half hardy it is best grown against a wall or in a pot placed near the house, or if you're in a wet ,cold area bring it in to an unheated greenhouse or polytunnel for the Winter, prune it back in winter/ early Spring to keep it tidy. Use Lemon Verbena in herb tea, stuffings, pot pourri, cakes or just brush your hand across it as you walk past and let it fill the air with it's incredible scent!

Jasminum beesianum
Jasminum beesianum has striking deep pink flowers, they have a light scent , but this Jasmine is all about the looks! Although Jasmines are not the hardiest of climbers, I have grown Jasminum Beesianum against a wall here for over 20yrs and we are cold at over 600ft , given a warmer spot it can reach 4-5mts in height. This twining climber is perfect for arches, pergolas or scrambling through trees. Initial support will be needed.
