Dicentra spectabilis
Dicentra spectabilis or Bleeding Heart is one of the first plants to emerge in late spring and has arching sprays of dainty, rose-pink, heart-shaped flowers above fern-like, fresh green leaves.

Flower Carpet Red Velvet
This is Flower Carpet Red Velvet a ground cover rose. It has lovely bright red flowers with a yellow centre and glossy, rich green foliage. I have put mine in a container as I don't have much room left in the ground so I'm hoping it will flow over the top of the container. The flowers should last well until the frosts.

Flower Carpet Red Velvet is available to buy from Gardening Express.
Camellia x Williamsii Debbie
Camellia x Williamsii Debbie has been on a container for about eight years now and it has always flowered well.

This variety is available from Gardening Express for just £12.95 for a 3.5l plant and Crocus.co.uk have lots of other interesting varieties.
