This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
"This tiny pink and white fragile daisy is a welcome self-seeder in paths and steps - and it dances even on still days over almost black linear foliage"

Love this plant, grows really well even in partial shade. Flowers right though till late autumn. It self seeds readily then thrives in all sorts of places. I have them in the cracks in my patio now which looks lovely!

I may be relatively new to gardening, but the quality of Crocus plants are obvious - one year on and you can pick my five Crocus plants out just by looking out my window! They are so much greener, taller and healthier. This daisy-style plant is a pretty addition to any flower bed and mine has even survived a house move to a 'pots-only' patio garden where it now lives happily in a large pot.

These plants arrived in very well packaged and in excellent condition and have done extremely well since I planted them. They have spread and self seeded and have filled up a gap in the border where I planted them. An excellent buy. Would use Crocus again

Planted this in a large pot and it has flowered all summer and autumn. Needs a sunny spot.

Planned to plant a whole border edge with Erigeron Karvinskianus (Spanish Daisy). Couldn't find a single plant in my local garden centres, so ordered from crocus.co.uk. Plants arrived in good condition and are doing so well. Really pleased.

This plant is very pretty with lots of tiny flowers. It grew well and has survived the winter and has got some flower buds already.

First time we have used fleabanes. Very pleased, they took immediately and grew into healthy attractive plants.

I love this plant, and use it everywhere, letting it seed into crevices and under other plants. It is unfussy, always cheerful and responds well to neglect

It really depends on the effect you are trying to create - and how impatient you are! Each of these plants has an eventual spread of around 1m, so in theory, you may only need one plant, but if you want more immediate impact you could plant three or five plants in your 50 litre tub.

Hello, Yes, provided it is kept well watered, it should do quite well.

Hello there Don't worry it won't look good at this time of year. This is a fully hardy deciduous perennial which will be dormant through the winter months. Sometimes can hang on to some of it's foliage, but by now it will look rather tatty. In the spring cut back the old stems to allow new foliage to come through.

Hello, I love this plant as it flowers for ages and looks really pretty. I have a sheltered garden and mine keeps its foliage throughout the year, however in colder regions it may die back to a woody framework.

Hello, Fully hardy pot-grown plants (like these) can be planted at any time of the year provided the ground is not waterlogged or frozen. The less hardy ones are best planted during warmer weather unless you have a particularly sheltered garden.

Hello, These are not particularly susceptible to slugs, but I imagine they might have the occasional nibble if there is nothing more appetizing about.

Hello there Yes you can plant Erigeron karvinskianus successfully now in a pot as long as you keep it watered. Hope this helps.

Hello, These fast-growing plants soon form large clumps, but there will be just one plant per pot. They can be divided, although I would recommend waiting until next spring before you tackle it as this will give the plant a chance to grow on.

Hello There, These plants have been grown outside and as they are fully hardy they should be planted out as soon as the ground is not frozen. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Hello There, These plants are fully hardy so can be planted out at any time of the year as long as the ground isn't frozen. The ideal time for planting however is spring or autumn. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Hello, I have just taken delivery today of my last order,-a Sarococca and 2 x Erigeron karvinskianus. Can I check with you where they have been stored to date? Have they been kept outside or in an unheated green house etc... I am trying to ascertain whether I can keep them outside until planting now? It is only February and there is still ice and snow forecast here in the next week or so. Thanks

As a rule hardy plants grown in containers (such as the majority of the ones we sell), can be planted at any time of year as long as the soil isn't frozen solid. The best times to plant however are in the autumn when the soil is still warm enough to encourage root growth but the plant isn't in active growth, or in spring before the temperatures start to rise. You can also plant in mid summer as long as you make sure the plants are kept well watered.

The traditional cottage garden was an intensive, yet carefree mixture of fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers all crowded into a tiny space. Today, this informal charm can be recreated using modern varieties that largely take care of themselves around an

Deadheading will prevent them setting seed and so use their energy producing a further flush of blooms later on. Plants that respond well to deadheading include annuals such as Ageratum, Alyssum, Antirrhinum, Calendula, Centaurea, Cosmos, Dahlia, foxglove
