This plant enjoys being in full sun to part shade, and once established is both drought and frost hardy.

Acer rubrum ‘Bowhall’ is an outstanding choice for streetscapes and avenues, thanks to its narrow, columnar habit and rapid growth. Its brilliant orange-red autumn foliage provides a spectacular seasonal highlight, while delicate red flowers appear in early to mid spring. Highly adaptable, it thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil but tolerates a wide range of soil types and conditions. Cold-hardy and wind-resistant, ‘Bowhall’ is both beautiful and resilient.

Sedum 'Rainbow Fairy Cushion' grows as a compact groundcover, producing little rosettes of cute pinky green and white foliage, perfect for a fairy's cushion!
• Perfect for the potted garden, rockeries or as a low maintenance groundcover
• Mounding succulent that thrives in full sun and well drained positions
• Soft pink star-shaped flowers appear in summer |
| Content | If your looking for a small hedging plant then this is the one for you. Dutch Box is a dwarf box that grows with dense, glossy green foliage and works well in shaded areas.
Dutch Box also likes part shade in moist, well-drained soil, but will tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions. It should be clipped to maintain a formal shape.
Slight yellow discolouration of the leaves on Dutch box may occur during cooler months, but don't worry, this is normal! This is remedied by applying with Dolomite Lime, and a slow release fertilizer a month later. Or you can just leave your Dutch Box alone and it will come back lovely and green and spring.
