🌸 Hydrangeas — bold, beautiful & blooming their hearts out

Hydrangeas are looking absolutely stunning right now — big, generous blooms, rich colours, and that classic cottage‑garden charm customers love. From the dramatic Bellatrix to traditional mop heads and the elegant lace caps, there’s a style for every garden and every planting scheme.

Bellatrix brings those striking, sculptural flower heads with incredible depth of colour — a real statement piece for borders or large pots.
Mop heads give you those full, rounded blooms that burst with colour all summer long.
Lace caps offer a softer, more delicate look, perfect for shady corners and woodland-style planting.

All of them thrive in moist, well‑drained soil, enjoy morning sun with afternoon shade, and reward even light care with months of colour.

✨ Whether you’re building a cool, calming border or adding drama to a patio pot, our hydrangea range is looking fantastic — come and choose your favourite.

🪴 Carnivorous Houseplants — fascinating, functional & totally irresistible

Carnivorous houseplants are the ultimate conversation‑starters — dramatic, unusual, and surprisingly easy to grow. From the snap of a Venus flytrap to the elegant pitchers of Nepenthes and Sarracenia, these plants bring a touch of the wild into your home while naturally helping to keep pesky insects at bay.

They thrive in bright light, prefer rainwater or distilled water, and love a bit of humidity. Keep their compost damp (never dry), avoid feeding them fertiliser, and let them catch their own food — it’s what they’re built for.

Perfect for kids, collectors, or anyone who loves a plant with personality, our carnivorous range is looking fantastic right now. Come and explore the weird and wonderful world of these living mini‑predators.
