Plant description

Our Chelsea showstoppers collection is all about colour, form, texture and seasonal impact. Containing a selection of exceptional perennials, these plants are consistently used by top designers in their award-winning show gardens. They're perfect for capturing the Chelsea charm, and will give your own garden a stylish late spring and early summer lift.

Carefully curated to deliver on style and performance, and grown to order on that come back year after year. The collections comprise six, 9cm plants.

Each collection is suited to fill a 1m sq space in the border, and has been designed to enable you to either place them on their own, intersperse them with other plants, or weave them in multiples to create a cohesive, considered look to your planting scheme.

Alternatively, pop them into our large Zinc dolly pot and create a showstopping seasonal display for the patio.

What's included:

Each collection contains the following plants:

  • 1 x Salvia × sylvestris 'Mainacht': A compact, hardy perennial producing dense spikes of deep violet-purple flowers from early to mid-summer, standing out against dark green, finely toothed foliage. Highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, it’s an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Grows to 75cm.

  • 2 x Lupinus 'Masterpiece' (PBR): Appearing in glorious, chunky spires, which rise above mounds of attractively divided, brigh green leaves, the orange-flecked, purple flowers add lavish colour to borders and pots from late spring to midsummer. It's also incredibly useful for adding structure and form when paired with plants that have a softer silhouette. Grows to 90cm.

  • 2 x Astrantia 'Roma' (PBR): Soft pink, pincushion-like flowers on tall, wiry stems make this popular herbaceous perennial a standout choice for long-lasting summer colour. Its deeply lobed, mid-green leaves form a tidy clump, providing excellent contrast to its delicate blooms. Grows to 60cm.

  • 1 x Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae: A compact, shade-loving, spreading euphorbia that has long-lasting, lime-green flowers in late spring above rosettes of glossy, dark green leaves. It makes attractive, spreading groundcover in a woodland or naturalised setting. Grows to 70cm.

Planting tips:

Prepare the bed well by digging in lots of composted organic matter before you plant.

Where possible, plant in odd numbers, and cluster them together to give impact. Multiples of 3 work really well set out in irregular triangles for an organic feel, while larger numbers can be planted in mercurial clusters or drifts. In bigger gardens, try to repeat your clusters through the border to create a sense of rhythm and cohesion.

Also, when setting your plants out, check their eventual spread and make sure they’ve enough space to fill out. After planting, keep plants well watered for their first year, particularly during warmer weather, and feed them with a good, general purpose fertiliser through the growing season.

When potting up, use a good quality general-purpose compost, and make sure the plants are kept well watered, particularly during warmer weather.

Please note:

Some of the plants in this collection will die right back in autumn, then fresh new growth will appear again in spring.
