SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL

-

This is a great combinatio­n to keep your pots looking good between the thrill of summer bedding and the return of the spring bulbs. With the strong uprights, the puff of heather and that tangle of wiry calocephal­us. This has lots of texture, a dollop of colour and a definite attitude.
