Prunella grandiflora | Red Cap Lilacs Add compost at the beginning

Add compost at the beginning of the growing season to keep them happy

but we find mulch helps to retain the moisture

Spray Chrysanthemums are ideal for big floral arrangements as their blooms grow together from a single stem

and when the winters are mild we often still have these flowering in the garden so they add a bright pop of colour

Prunella grandiflora | Red Cap Lilacs Add compost at the beginningAlso known as large flowered Self Heal, this lovely herbaceous ground cover is a tough plant that will thrive in full sun or part shade. Grows to 25cm tall and 50 cm wide, it loves a moist spot until established. The blooms stand upright on strong, but short stems. They're very showy, deep pink clusters from summer into autumn. Great value and really hardy. Easily divided in winter for fresh clumps that can be spread around the garden for more colour.
