Phaedranthus buccinatorius, commonly known as the Mexican Blood Flower, is a stunning tropical climber. It features showy and fragrant, trumpet shaped, yellow and red flowers from summer until early winter. These sit perfectly with the glossy, dark green foliage. It will grow vigorously to 5 m tall but can be trimmed as necessary. Phaedranthus buccinatorius is a popular choice for tropical plantings or using in areas where frost risk is low and the beauty of this plant can be enjoyed.

Dianthus Memories is a scented variety of Carnation that features masses of double, white, highly fragrant flowers. These stunning flowers are produced from spring through until late summer on short stems that rise above the foliage. This award-winning plant grows as a low mound of grassy, green-grey leaves which serve as a lovely backdrop to the flowers as it grows to 30 cm tall and the same wide. Dianthus Memories is a popular herbaceous perennial that is often grown in a container, included in borders and mixed plantings, mass planted for a spectacular show, or included in gardens around living areas.
