| Description | Polygala myrtifolia x dalmaisiana
Polygala Dazzler is a shrub that originates from South Africa and has attractive, almost year round, purple pea-like flowers on light green foliage. It makes a great flowering hedge.
Polygala Dazzler prefers a well-drained position, but tolerates poor soils, frost and dry conditions. Pruning in early Spring will encourage bushiness and flowers. Best feed regularly with a slow release fertiliser.
10" pot size. | Prunus yedoensis x subhirtella 'Snofozam'
Hands down the most popular feature tree, the Weeping Cherry tree! And it's no wonder why, with little maintenance and year round interest it's a definite crowd pleaser.
• The most narrow of weeping cherries, Falling Snow's branches hang directly down
• Covered in little white blossoms in the spring, green foliage in summer changing to an awesome display of autumn colour
• Grows in most soils, disliking heavy clay and soggy soils
