| Description | Buxus sempervirens suffruticosa
A glossy green, rounded leaf box hedging plant
• Used for low to medium hedging and topiary
• Planted in the garden, along borders, pathways and in pots
• Tolerates shady positions | Sedum × rubrotinctum 'Jelly-beans' Succulent
Jellybeans is an interesting succulent plant that displays jelly beanlike foliage. In the summertime it changes from green to bright red, and it bears yellow flowers in the springtime.
The 'Jelly-Bean' succulent originated in Mexico so has no trouble coping with the harsh Summer heat. During Summer some of the lime green foliage will change to red as a coping mechanism from the extreme heat, which actually adds to its aesthetic appeal!
This cute succulent is extremely low maintenance, only requiring a well drained soil and protection from harsh frosts. It can be used as a border, randomly planted, in pots or hanging baskets. Mixed up with other succulents of different colours and textures, it would be a wonderful addition to your garden.

| 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.
