Geranium 'Fire Queen' is a real favourite, and it’s no wonder, with its large, vivid red flowers, long flowering period, and good weather tolerance it’s sure to create a top display in any garden. This popular variety offers rich fiery red displays for all your garden borders, baskets and containers once grown on, flowering from mid-spring to the first frost.

Fuchsias are one of the most versatile of garden plants; their iconic flower colours and shapes decorating our summer gardens year after year. Here we offer you a lovely plant in flower and bud that will add instant impact and colour to your garden or patio from now until the first frosts of winter.

One of the more unusual varieties, Patty’s Plum is noted for its blousy, pinkish purple ruffled blooms that look like antique silk and its coarse, bristly leaves that provide a great backdrop for other plants. A real low maintenance, easy plant to grow, these poppies make a bold statement when planted as a group or as individual specimens.
