Rhododendron Simbu Sunset
Rhododendron vireya 'Simbu Sunset'
Vireya rhododendrons are for adventurous gardeners looking for something different and dazzling. They're colourful, flower freely several times a year.

Rosemary Tuscan Blue
Rosmarinus officinalis 'Tuscan Blue'
An upright form with rich, green leaves and violet-blue flowers. Good choice for mid-border, or perhaps near a path where leaves can be rubbed for fragrance, or picked for indoor use, in pot pourri for example. Tuscan Blue can be clipped to size and shape, so try it as small hedge; particularly effective in a cottage garden or potager. Hardiness Zone - suits dark green area - click for details

Syzygium Tom Thumb
Syzygium 'Tom Thumb'
A topiary delight - a compact, dwarf selection with fine leaves and an upright, columnar and dense habit.

Viburnum Emerald Beauty
Viburnum tinus 'Emerald Beauty'
A wonderful improvement on the species. This one's got very dark green and luxuriant leaves, showy deep red flower buds that open to rich creamy white flowers over a long period during winter and spring.
