This great value collection will provide many years of enjoyment, getting bigger and better with each passing season. Contains:Forsythia Intermedia - Nothing says spring is on its way like a forsythia. The branches of neat-growing Forsythia intermedia will be wreathed in bright yellow flowers that light up the garden. Team this easy-to-grow plant with other spring-flowering shrubs and early crocuses (Crocus) or daffodils (Narcissus) in beds and borders. Reliable and hardy, it’s equally good as an informal hedge or wall shrub. Height 3m (10’). Spread 3m (10’).Ribes Odoratum (Flowering Currant) - Set against a backdrop of glossy green foliage, the pale yellow flowers with a spicy clove-like fragrance are produced in bunches at the tips of arching stems. The early spring flowers of Ribes odoratum are followed by edible black berries that often persist well into late summer. By autumn, the foliage turns to bright shades of red and purple. This fabulous flowering currant provides a long season of interest, and being tough and resilient, it will grow well in most gardens. Height and spread: 2m (6',6").Potentilla Fruticosa - A drought tolerant hardy shrub, Potentilla fruticosa has attractive grey - green foliage and is covered in pretty yellow- orange flowers from May all the way through to September. This compact Shrubby Cinquefoil thrives in sunny borders or rockeries and makes a great low hedge. Shrubby Cinquefoils are native to the Northern Hemisphere, often growing at high altitude in mountainous regions. Height and spread: 150cm (59").
