This dainty climber will flower all Summer. It is a wee bit frost tender but will come away again.
Little heart shaped leaves and blue thumb sized deep purple/blue flowers, it looks amazing growing up a trellis, or fence. It does well in pots too.

Blackcurrants are easy to grow , and produce an abundance of black fruit just before Christmas. Great for making jam or blackberry and apple crumble pudding. You can also make your own blackcurrant juice.
This is a small well rooted cutting but will put on rapid growth.

This one is growing in a 10cm pot and is 40cms high at present.
I've pictured blackcurrant fruit from my mature bushes, but the one on sale is in the red pot.

This peony is in flower at the moment. The flower is large and this particular one is white like a pompom.
Peonies love the sun, are drought tolerant, die down in the winter, and need a metre square space to spread in. They are amazing cut flowers and come into bloom at this time of the year.
