KOLKWITZIA
amabilis Pink Cloud Whoever first nick-named this gorgeous shrub "Beauty Bush" certainly got it right. Easily grown it will make a dense rounded bush to 2m and is covered with pink bell shaped flowers in May-June. Very hardy and versatile. Who says beautiful plants need be difficult to grow? Available from September at £8.50 |
| LABURNOCYTISUS
Adamii Originally derived from grafting Cytisus purpureus onto Laburnum anagroides. The re sulting small tree is a quite unique mix of the two. Some flowers are typical of the Laburnum, a few are even the Cytisus, but most resemble Laburnum flowers in shape but are orangey pink in colour. Thus you can have all three flower types on the same plant at the same time. It is as well however, not to let it produce too much of the Laburnum type growth as this tends to be the strongest. Much as Laburnum in shape and size. Sold out for 2002 |

| LEYCESTERIA formosa
Golden Pheasant This is a truly amazing plant - definitely a novelty, yet with an appeal of it's own. The foliage is irregularly variegated with bright yellow which contrasts dramatically with the characteristic wine red bracts which support the white flowers in late summer. The reddish-purple berries are attractive to pheasants which is doubtless the thought behind the cultivar name. Available from September at £15.00 |

| LIGUSTRUM
japonicum texanum Silver Star A very rare medium evergreen shrub with thick leathery leaves. These are glossy grey green with a very striking broad white margin. Large panicles of fragrant white flowers in late summer. Available from September at £15.00 |
|
| LIGUSTRUM
lucidum Excelsum Superbum Large shrub or even a small tree with glossy green leaves margined cream. Although very shade tolerant, the contrast between the green portions and the cream will be better in good light. White scented flowers in summer. As it is rapid, evergreen and tough, it is an excellent choice for screening. From £15.00 |
|
| LIGUSTRUM
lucidum Tricolour Similar to excelsum Superbum (above), but even prettier! The leaves are narrower and more pointed, the young growth is distinctly pinker, developing a broad cream margin. Also suitable for screening, but not quite as dense as a young plant. Available from September at £15.00 |
