Sambucus ‘Black Lace’

A deciduous shrub with striking almost black, dissected foliage and from May to June pale pink, musk-scented blooms emerge from beautiful creamy-pink buds. It makes an excellent shrub for all styles of gardens and has the added bonus of having blackish-red berries in autumn which are attractive to birds.

We also stock ‘Black Beauty’.

Prefers full sun and will cope with most soils.

Sarcococca confusa

Sorbaria ‘Sem’

The feathery foliage of this low-growing, deciduous shrub emerges each spring in a bright pinkish-bronze flush, but quickly turns fresh lime – and then a rich, dark green. Forming an attractive leafy mound, it is topped from midsummer with large cone-shaped clusters of small white flowers.

Prefers full sun / part shade and free draining soil.

Spiraea ‘Arguta’

Gorgeous arching sprays of white flowers in mid and late spring and toothed, bright green leaves. This popular, deciduous shrub is ideal for a shrub or mixed border. Relatively vigorous and easy to grow, to guarantee abundant, foam-like display it must be pruned annually immediately after flowering.

Prefers full sun / part shade and well drained soil.

Syringa ‘Josee’

A lovely dense, compact, deciduous shrub, prolific in bloom and delightfully fragrant. Masses of lilac flowers, held in panicles during late spring and early summer. Attractive rounded leaves of velvety dark green.

Viburnum opulus ‘Roseum’

In May and June the branches of this vigorous deciduous shrub are smothered with large, snowball-like clusters of white or green-tinted white flowers. With fresh green leaves that become purple-tinted in autumn it’s an excellent ornamental plant for a sunny shrub or mixed border. Can be pruned to keep a neat shape.

Prefers full sun / part shade in well drained soil.

Vinca ‘Ralph Shugert’

For many months from spring to autumn, large violet-blue flowers nestle amongst the yellow-margined, dark green leaves, putting on a very pretty display. This creeping, evergreen provides valuable groundcover, often in quite inhospitable settings where little else will grow. Keep neat if needed by trimming in spring.

Prefers part shade and will cope with most soils, even very dry.
