Abutilon megapotamicum
Bring a touch of charm and colour to your garden with Abutilon megapotamicum, also known as the Trailing or Chinese Lantern Abutilon. This graceful shrub produces a profusion of dangling, lantern-like flowers — bright yellow petals peeking from deep red calyces — from spring right through to autumn. Its blooms seem to dance among the leaves, attracting bees and butterflies with their nectar-rich appeal.
This semi-evergreen shrub has slender, arching stems and small heart-shaped leaves, creating a soft, informal look perfect for cottage gardens, trellises, or decorative pots. It’s equally striking when trained up a support or allowed to trail gently over walls and containers.
Planting & Care
Choose a sunny to semi-shaded spot with well-drained, compost-rich soil. Water regularly during dry periods to keep the soil evenly moist, but do not allow it to become waterlogged. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring and midsummer to encourage continuous flowering and healthy growth.
Pruning & Maintenance
Lightly prune after the main flowering flush to maintain shape and encourage new shoots. In late winter, a harder cutback can rejuvenate older plants. Protect from heavy frost in very cold regions, or grow in containers that can be moved to a sheltered position.

Ericaceous (Acid) compost
Raithby, WC
Ericaceous compost is acidic and is beneficial for plants that like an acid soil. For example camellias, rhododendrons, erica’s etc.
Hydrangeas also benefit, making their colours more intense and also making certain flowers more blue in colour. The pH of an acidic soil is typically between 4.5 and 6.SKU: n/a -

Agapanthus ‘Blush Pink’ PBR
Raithby, WC
Agapanthus ‘Blush Pink’ NEW/RARE!
Add a touch of soft romance and uniqueness to your garden with Agapanthus ‘Blush Pink’, a rare, sought after and beautiful variety.
It produces graceful clusters of unique white pink flowers on strong, slender stems above lush, narrow, strap-like foliage. The colour is influenced by light and soil conditions. Flowering through summer, it brings delicate colour to borders, pots and pathways, and is equally striking planted in groups or as a soft contrast.
Like other agapanthus, Blush Pink is hardy, waterwise, and easy to care for once established. It IS slightly more delicate than normal agapanthus, so it does need a bit more care. It thrives in sun to semi shade and well-drained soil that’s slightly acidic (pH 5–6). It’s important to use ericaceous compost. Water regularly during the growing season and reduce watering in winter.
