Fuchsia microphylla
£4.95
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!
Plants are supplied in a 7cm pot.

Abutilon megaponticum
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.

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!

Rubus spectabilis ‘Olympic double’
Rubus spectabilis 'Olympic double' is a deciduous shrub, fully hardy and not fussy about it's soil, bogs are best avoided! It almost looks like a rose when it flowers, but this tough chap has no problems with black spot or greenfly, in fact if visitors to your garden sweep swiftly past it they may well think it's the healthiest rose they've ever seen! It does have a suckering habit so don't plant it in somewhere that you don't want it to fill a space because it will spread, if you want to keep it smaller you can prune it's mature, thorny stems back each year after flowering.
Plants are supplied in a 1.5ltr pot.
