Hebe (Speedwell Shrub) is the ideal plant for giving your garden and patio boost in the late summer. White, purple, pink, or lilac flowers instantly lend a fresh energy, and Hebe’s foliage varies in colour from pale green to dark green, and very pale grey. In the winter and spring some varieties even have claret leaves.

Summer is associated with colour, warmth - or extreme heat this year - and happiness: beautiful sunny days welcome blooms Delphinium, Allium and Gladiolus. August is the perfect month to present these flowers, typical of this wonderful season.

The list of special days for the flower and plant sector in 2019 is now available.

Hanging, climbing - Devil’s Ivy, also known as Scindapsus, can grow in all directions. This houseplant stands out thanks to its heart-shaped satiny leaves with silver, pale green, yellow or whitish spots, or a flame pattern. It’s also a reliable companion: if looked after well, this domestic wonder can grow very old and remain beautiful.
