balconies & urban gardens
From packed out pots and compact favourites to introducing vertical interest, here are some ideas for introducing colour and variety to even the smallest of urbanised spaces.
Spring Centrepiece Container Collection
A hugely successful bulb lasagne - not with tulips this time - but with daffs and grape hyacinths
Windowsill Bulb Collection
Curated by Arthur Parkinson, I love these simple terracotta pots alternating between the Oxford and Cambridge-blue Muscari latifolium, and the azure-blue ‘Valerie Finnes’ along his windowsill
Brilliant Bulb Lasagne Collection
A new collection of favourite bulbs to plant in layers for a succession of beautiful flowers
Crimson and Black Velvet Pot Collection
My favourite pot collection for a few years running - beautiful, rich and scented
The Spring Window Box Collection
Gentle colours, pretty shapes, and hugely long-performing. If you've got a window box or large pot, now you know how to fill it
Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Bannow Bay'
One of my new favourite plants — a neat and compact evergreen, that looks sensational all year round with fine, rich crimson and very pretty leaves
Sherbet Candy Viola Collection
The Frizzle Sizzle series violas divide people strongly. You’ll either find them too froufrou for words, or love their craziness, as if their outer petal edges are gathered on a thread.
Hebe 'Medieval Pink Princess'
A truly excellent container plant that’s compact, easy to grow, and produces nectar-rich flowers loved by bees and butterflies
climbers for small spaces
If your short of ground space, why not go up? Use vertical gardening to your advantage, quick growing climbers are ideal for covering walls and fences to create a jungle-inspired look
Jasminum officinale
Plant this next to your gateways in and out of the garden, anywhere where a waft of it will meet you as you come past
Clematis 'Alionushka'
Elegant, nodding heads in a pinky-purple, it flowers on and on
Lonicera periclymenum 'Chic et Choc'
I completely fell in love with this plant last summer. It’s been specially bred to be compact enough for containers and smaller spaces. It is also hugely flowery and highly scented

Fig 'Little Miss Figgy' (Ficus carica)
A naturally compact fig, ‘Miss Figgy’ is ideal for smaller spaces, patios, and container gardens
Blueberry 'Top Hat'
A pretty, compact shrub that produces an abundance of delicious berries, and delicate white flowers in springtime. A total must-have for patios and terraces
