Corydalis Blue Heron

Corydalis Blue Heron

True blue flowers are like gold dust in the garden - especially ones that bloom in partial shade, and for as long a period as 'Blue Heron'! That's why this Corydalis is such a treasure.These hardy perennials give you rich, sapphire-blue blooms in the shadier spots of your garden, and it keeps going for months.Starting in April, it kicks into flower with elegant, scented, trumpet-shaped blooms in blue with upright red stems. They just keep on coming right through to early autumn. You might expect a plant with that much flair to be fussy - but it's anything but. It's hardy, compact and low maintenance, thriving year after year with very little effort.It grows brilliantly in part shade - ideal for the front of borders, under deciduous trees, or in containers tucked near the house. The finely divided, soft green-blue foliage is evergreen too, keeping the garden looking fresh when many perennials disappear completely.The colour is genuinely something to see. Not many plants manage a true blue, but 'Blue Heron' absolutely does, and against that foliage, it really sings. It's also a great one for pollinators, with bees often seen visiting those tubular blooms on warmer days.Supplied as a set of three jumbo plug plants, ready to grow on and plant out.

Cucumber Socrates F1 Seeds

Cucumber Socrates F1 Seeds

This fast-growing and vigorous variety produces plentiful crops of bitter-free mini cucumbers. An 'all female' type, they are best grown in a greenhouse or tunnel, where seedless fruits can be produced if kept free from pollinators. 'All female' F1 hybrids give the surest results, producing almost all female flowers, virtually eliminating the need to remove male flowers (male flowers are generally only produced when plants become stressed).A worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, this is an easy-to-grow, long-standing favourite of vegetable growers and is frequently recommended by the gardening press and consumer groups as one of the best tasting cucumbers. Its high resistance to disease extends the growing season as the plants are less susceptible to powdery mildew, which can be prevalent towards the end of summer and into autumn, when light levels are lower.The dark green, thin-skinned fruits are best cut when about 18cm (7in) long and have a pleasing nutty flavour that is far superior to shop-bought cucumbers. As well as being super fresh and juicy when picked straight from the garden, these little beauties are packed with nutrients and antioxidants - they are a good source of vitamins K, B and C, as well as minerals such as potassium and magnesium.Supplied as a packet of 5 seeds ready to sow indoors from February to May. Plant out May to June into fertile, moisture-retentive but well draining soil in a greenhouse bed or tunnel, or into good quality compost in containers or growbags for growing under cover.

Lavender Sensational

Lavender Sensational

Very few flowers bring such a classy and instantly recognisable aroma and colour to the garden as lavender, and just the name of the 'Sensational' variety tells you everything you need to know! Witness a summertime display of large blooms as they erupt from excellent silvery green foliage, which remains tidy and compact throughout the year. Deep purple flowers with a heavenly scent grow on thick stems, whether pushing to the front of borders to bask in the sunlight, or used to define garden lines or pathways. This is a variety of the timeless English Lavender, which has been gracing our gardens for years, but now boasts stronger stems to remain upright and picturesque for even longer - without flopping! What's more, this lavender is weather-resistant and perfect for cutting for the vase - allowing the superb, natural perfume and colour to be brought inside and enjoyed for even longer. Cut back the first wave of flowers when they start to tire to potentially see a second flush of blooms. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.
