Mothering Sunday
If you’re looking for a special present for Mum, how about one of our lovely shrubs that will bring delight for years to come. Cut flowers always have such a short life…..
For that something really special, what about a Camellia? Here’s a pic of one of our very popular varieties: Camellia Japonica- Brushfield Yellow. Stunning. Lady Campbell in the pic below is a vigorous compact upright evergreen shrub with oval glossy dark green leaves and double rose firm red flowers in late winter/early Spring. Don’t forget, neutral to acid soil is required to grow camellias.
And remember too that with Camellias and all acid-loving plants, they thrive so much better if you water them only with rainwater. They are not a fan of tap water and all it contains!
If a shrub isn’t quite right, then Pauline has been busy creating a number of tubs and baskets from which to choose And if all inspiration fails, then there’s always our Downside gift vouchers!
