Lemon Verbena , Lippia Citriodora .
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!
Plants are supplied in 1ltr pots
Fuchsia microphylla
Fuchsia microphylla is one of the most rewarding hardy fuchsias to grow, when it is in full flower although the blooms are small the whole bush is covered in them creating almost a magenta cloud! Although I am assured it can get taller here, it rarely gets taller than 1mtr in warmer areas it would grow from the hard wood frame but here we cut it back to 20cms in the spring and off it goes shooting up to 1mtr. Still flowering here well into November if we haven't had a frost!

Sambucus nigra ‘Black beauty’
Best sited in full sun to get the best dark foliage from this reliable sturdy shrub, the dark burgundy almost black leaves make an excellent background for the pink and white flowers that open from dark red buds in May. Dark purple berries follow that are edible ( we use our to make wine!) but if you're not ready to harvest them for your own use the birds will gladly help you out as they love them. Although it will grow to 3mts in height it can be kept to about 1.2mts if you prune it back to about 60cms each winter , keeping it's shape more compact.
Plants are supplied in a 2ltr pot and may be pruned back for dispatch.
