Long Lasting Colour for your Garden

April is the perfect time to give your borders, containers and bedding displays a vibrant update. With longer days and warming soil, now is the moment to plant for a garden filled with colour from spring right through to summer.

This month we’ve selected some of the best seasonal favourites to bring instant colour, beautiful structure, and wonderful fragrance to your outdoor space.

🌸 Featured Plants This Season

🌿 Geum ‘Scarlet Tempest’

A striking perennial producing vibrant scarlet-red blooms that rise above neat, compact foliage. It flowers over a long period from late spring into summer, adding bold colour and movement to borders while attracting bees and other pollinators.

🌺 Clematis Montana

A vigorous, fast-growing climber that smothers walls, fences, and pergolas in soft pink spring flowers. It creates a dramatic early-season display and is perfect for quickly adding height, coverage, and impact to the garden.

💜 Salvia ‘Caradonna’

An elegant perennial with deep purple flower spikes held on dark, upright stems. Flowering from early summer onwards, it’s loved by pollinators and works beautifully in modern or cottage-style planting schemes.

🌿 Lavender (English & French varieties)

A timeless garden favourite offering fragrance, structure, and colour. Ideal for borders, pots, and pathways, lavender is also highly attractive to bees and provides long-lasting seasonal interest.

 🌸 Nemesia (bedding varieties)

A reliable bedding plant that delivers masses of colourful, often fragrant blooms throughout the warmer months. Perfect for containers, hanging baskets, and seasonal displays where instant impact is needed.

🌼 Top Gardening Tips for the Season

  • Feed flowering plants to encourage strong blooms
  • Deadhead early flowers to extend display time
  • Plant out hardy annuals as temperatures rise
  • Mulch borders to retain moisture and suppress weeds
