Annual Plants


Annual plants fall under two categories - hardy and half-hardy. Hardy annuals can be grown outdoors and will tolerate cooler tempratures, whereas the more tender half-hardy annuals need protection and must not be planted out until all risk of frost has passed. These delightful summer flowers add colour and interest to beds, borders, containers and hanging baskets. Use the selections in the left menu to select the right plants for your garden.

Busy Lizzie 'Sunpatiens® Mixed'

 Customer Rating
  • Best in class for super busy lizzies
  • Customer favourite
  • Tolerant to downy mildew problems
  • Performs in all weathers; hot, dry, wet, cold.
  • Only need 1 plant instead of 3 normal busy lizzies
  • More colour, more impact, but fewer plants per square meter

'Wow' is the only word to describe the impact from this brand new, sun-loving Busy Lizzie plant which is a hybrid between New Guinea Impatiens and a wild type. Sunpatiens® is taking the plant world by storm with its exceptional vigour and ability to withstand rain, wind, humidity, scorching heat and cool shade.

It's a plant of superior qualities: quicker to establish, stronger root system, thicker petals and much larger flowers than normal Impatiens.Just one plant covers an area 3 feet square! ‘Flower Power’ is an understatement - but don't just take our word for it, grow Sunpatiens® for yourself - we think you’ll be suitably impressed. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens' - Part of the Alan Titchmarsh Collection

Honeywort

 Customer Rating
This unusual little plant is one of my garden favourites; and you can always track it down in the garden by listening for the sound of buzzing bees. It's easy to grow too; at home in most soils and producing sprays of electric-blue, metallic blooms, which ‘drip’ with purple florets. Cerinthe major ‘Purpurascens’ is a real stunner. And if you want to impress your neighbours, this will certainly give them something to talk about. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 30cm (12").
