Get your orders in! Probably these are too small right now, but I have essentially unlimited seedlings of this ever-popular plant at this time of year - if only there is motivation to pot them up and nurture them. Highly recommended, these been my most popular giveaway on here in the past. The majority will have to end up on the compost heap, but how many can we save to enjoy their flowers?

Good in containers and quick to grow, these baby plants will establish quickly and flower for you this summer. Leave the flower heads next autumn and they will seed for you too if you're lucky.

Verbena bonariensis is a beautiful hardy perennial with purple flowers on tall wiry stems over a long flowering season. Comes back from the base stronger every year and will self seed around if it's happy. Flowers beloved of bees and butterflies. Watch goldfinches try to balance on the seed heads next winter.

It wants sharp drainage and full sun to be truly happy, but I have sticky clay and a fair amount of shade and it does fine.
