Plants in 'The Jungle Look' scheme

An impressive semi-evergreen woody climber which has bright red flowers in late summer and autumn. The elaborate flowers resemble lobster claws. It grows best against a south or west facing wall, with well-drained soil. It requires some support such as wire or trellis. The leaves are attractive to snails, so vigilance is required to protect yound plants. 2-3 litre pot.

Dramatic red flowers on tall slender stems. This robust perennial is actually a bulb or corm, and it has long, strappy leaves and vibrant red flowers in summer - one of the 'hottest' reds around. It is very tough and resilient, and comes back year after year with renewed vigour. It disappears completely during the winter. It prefers full sun or light shade, and is tolerant of most sois, but not water-logged ones. At the end of the year (late autumn) chop down old foliage. Corms can be dug up over the winter and planted elsewhere - or given to friends. 3L container.

A large, clump forming bamboo with attractive yellow canes punctuated with vivid green stripes. Grows best in moist soils, ideally with some shelter from wind, but once established is very resilient. Lower leaves and small stems can be removed at the base, up to any desired height, to expose the attractive stems. As with all bamboos, soil should be moist and fertile, and the addition of garden compost or farmyard manure will help the plant establish. Two sizes are available - the larger size is quite substantial and is ideal for anyone who wants an instant vertical screen that is 400 - 450 cms  in height. This larger plant is excellent value - you won't find it cheaper elsewhere!  Medium: 12- 15L container / 175- 200 cms height. Large: 30L container / 400-450 cms height
