[H2] Drought Tolerant Plants

Choosing plants with a degree of drought tolerance is becoming increasingly important, especially as climate change presents gardeners with the challenge of gardening with less water. We offer a wide range of plants that are resistant to drought, tolerating dry soils and low levels of rainfall, especially after they've become established. Plants with light leaf colours such as grey-green or silvery foliage tend to be most drought tolerant. Those with fine hairs on the stems and foliage also tend to fare better when the conditions are dry, as they have been this spring. Some of the best plants to use where regular irrigation is challenging are Euphorbia, Sedum, box plants and Ceanothus.

Growing drought tolerant plants can help you do your bit for the environment by reducing water use. On hot summer days, around two-thirds of domestic water use goes on the garden, which can be hard for water reservoirs to sustain. In the extreme, water companies sometimes ask gardeners to reduce water use, which can lead to a difficult choice if our gardens have been planted up with varieties with little or no drought tolerance.

Suitable conditioning of the soil can be as important as the choice of plants themselves. Most plants will thank you for incorporating plenty of well-rotted garden compost or organic matter into the planting hole, which acts like a sponge, retaining moisture below ground through periods of low rainfall, rather than allowing it to percolate away. A regular mulch of bark chippings or similar (taking into consideration the acidic preference of your plants) also helps suppress weeds, preventing them for competing for moisture with your precious plants.

[H2] Wildlife Attracting Plants

Creating a haven for wildlife in your garden has never been more important, especially given the decline in populations of many British wildlife species such as hedgehogs, bats and bees. Growing wildlife-friendly plants in your garden provides the opportunity to watch native wildlife up close at your leisure, while also helping to keep many unwanted pests at away.

For butterflies, plant large groups of nectar-rich varieties which flower at the same time; red, orange, purple, pink and yellow flowers with short flower tubes or flat tops are best. Bees love plants with striking colours and fragrances, elaborately shaped petals and ample nectar, preferably with different flowers close together. Anemone and Chives plants are both good choices.

Native hedging such as holly plants provide essential cover and corridors that join up green spaces for small mammals, whilst night-scented plants such as Buddleia are great for moths, which in turn are a feast for bats. Bird tables or bird boxes, positioned near to prickly bushes to deter unwanted predators and away from places where cats can get to easily, are the best way to attract birds. Dense evergreen trees, conifers, clematis and honeysuckle climbers also offer shelter for nesting.

[H1] Perennial Plants

Perennials survive frost and live in the ground for more than 2 years, compared to annuals that last one year and biennials two years. Perennials are distinct from shrubs and trees because they have little or no woody growth. Herbaceous perennials bloom over the spring and summer, die back in the autumn and winter then re-grow from their rootstock in the spring. They’re great for adding colour and texture each summer. Perennials are best combined with evergreen shrubs to avoid empty spaces being left over the winter. Delphiniums are a great choice if you’re looking for majestic flower spikes, while Hemerocallis have striking flower colours marked with a distinctive contrasting throat. Oriental poppy plants with their single dark orange-red flowers are excellent for the Cottage Garden, whilst Lupins provides a reliable display of blooms throughout the summer.

[H1] Climbing Plants

Climbers are highly versatile plants with a natural tendency to climb, scramble or ramble. They are excellent for covering walls, fences, trellis, unsightly features or pergolas, or even to clamber over natural supports such as conifer trees, bushes and shrubs. Some climbers twine around the framework they're designed to scramble over, whereas others such as Hedera, and Passiflora actually self-cling to their climbing surface. The structure you use to support your climber should be secure and strong, because the plants can become heavy with age. Climbing plants can be used to brighten up your vertical planting areas such as bare walls or simply provide beautiful flowers, lush foliage and a fabulous scent for your garden. If you're looking for climbing plants for sun then star jasmine and Campsis are an excellent choice, whereas the best climbing plants for shade are Virginia Creeper and Akebia Quinata (also known as Chocolate Vine). Many climbers are also excellent wildlife attracting plants, whilst ivy varieties such as Hedera Hibernica make useful groundcover plants and Hedera Helix is suitable for growing in a container.

[H1] Fruit Bushes

There is nothing better than enjoying the taste of your very own, home grown fruit and veg, tasting far better than anything you'll find on the supermarket shelves. Fruit plants are surprising easy to grow and incredibly rewarding come harvest time. Soft fruit bushes can be grown in the border, a container, grow bag or even a hanging basket in some cases. Some of the easiest to grow are strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries.

Guide to Fruit Bushes

Fruit bushes are a great way to add a productive quality to your ornamentals and enliven your garden borders with an abundant mix of flowers, fruits and, often, stunning autumn foliage colours. Consider building soft fruit bushes, canes and vines into your planting schemes to add a different twist to borders.

[IMG: Grow your own Blackberries]

How to grow your own blackberries

Blackberry plants are easy-to-grow, pest and disease resistant and suitable for smaller gardens. They can be trained over a pergola or arch, grown as a fan against a wall or kept in a container on the patio. Often used for their attractive flowers as well as the fruit.

[IMG: Grow your own Blackcurrants]

How to grow your own blackcurrants

Blackcurrants are delightful, generous cropping fruit bushes that have been grown in the British Isles for over 500 years.The flowers are followed by bunches of small, glossy dark purple-black fruits that develop along the stems in mid-summer and are harvested by hand.

[IMG: Grow your own Blueberries]

How to grow your own blueberries

Blueberries produce an abundant crop through the summer. They can be either evergreen or deciduous, with deciduous varieties displaying fabulous fiery red autumnal colour. Dainty white flowers are produced in early summer, followed by clusters of sweet and juicy blueberry.

[IMG: Grow your own Cranberries]

How to grow your own cranberries

Cranberry bushes are hardy and virtually pest free with a useful dual offering of both fruit and ornamental interest through much of the season. Adaptable and easy to maintain, the flowering edible shrub comes in 2 main forms: upright and trailing.

[H1] Fruit Trees

The most commonly planted fruit trees are apple trees, but this doesn't mean you have to follow convention. Cherry, damson, fig, pear and plum trees can make equally good alternatives. That said, if you're growing fruit for the first time and decide to opt for a staple apple tree, consider an Apple Cox's Orange tree, which produces delicious dessert apples that are ready for picking in October. Fruit trees are propagated onto rootstocks, which determine the vigour and eventual size of the tree. A fruit tree on a dwarf rootstock may grow to just 1.5 metres tall, making it ideal for smaller gardens, whilst the same variety grafted onto a more vigorous rootstock could grow to 6.5 metres - so check the eventual height and spread on the product pages for the plants you are interested in carefully. Finally, to ensure good pollination and therefore a good crop, it is necessary to grow 2 or more different varieties from the same or an adjacent pollination group, so be sure to check and match up the pollination groups for the trees you buy (unless your selection is self-pollinating, in which case no other pollinator is required).
