Guaranteed to lift the spirits, this energetic combination of brilliant colours will last for many weeks, with just a little care. Everything here can be transferred easily to the garden or into other pots in early summer, giving great value.
Heucheras make excellent year-round container plants and the perennial wallflower will thrive in a sunny, freedraining border, while creeping Jenny is perfect for trailing from hanging baskets.
