Customers who bought this item also bought the following:

Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips' (VR) £22.75 This is a wild selection of the Mexican Salvia microphylla - with small green leaves and unique scarlet-red and white, two-toned flowers. Depending on temperature and moisture these will tend to appear almost completely red or white at any one time, but usually both colours are showing.	Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff' £22.00 A rich, bright red semi-double flower on tall deep bronze foliage. An old variety, but with freedom from virus, one of the best.
Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' (P) £47.50 Leaves with huge cinnamon stars are surrounded by the loveliest intense orange tea coloured borders. The big, palmate cut leaves darken in the summer and lighten up again in the autumn. Its H. villosa origins give it a big bold habit and summer heat tolerance.	Osteospermum jucundum compactum £21.00 This hardy variety is reasonably early flowering and compact in outdoor conditions. Florets age from mauve-pink to magenta-purple.
Heuchera 'Marmalade' (P) £47.75 A great garden performing amber coloured Heuchera. Spring foliage is more purple and summer becomes more red.
