Heuchera create an amazing autumnal display with plenty of colours to choose from. Foliage often changes colour throughout the growing season providing year-round interest. Some varieties even display different colours on the top and bottom of their leaves.

Top tip - try a cluster of different coloured varieties to create an attractive patchwork effect.

They are happy in most soil types as long as it's well-drained, too much water will kill off the plant. They are not fussy about sun or shade, although too shadier spot might prevent a vibrant colour.

Read our 'How to' guide on other types of plants you can grow too. https://bit.ly/3k8IHdD to keep your garden looking great throughout autumn and winter.

Irises are easy to grow, flowering in early summer

Irises are easy to grow, flowering in early summer, attracting butterflies and bees. With their beautiful flowing petals and markings they are easily an amazing sight amongst your borders.

They also look very striking in pots, either alone or mixed with other spring bulbs.

For planting Iris bulbs dig a hole 4 to 5 inches deep and 3 to 6 inches apart. Place in a sunny area in your garden. Be careful not over water as this will cause the rhizomes (a stem that grows underground, usually growing horizontal) to rot.

(Make sure to wear gloves when handling bulbs - as they can cause irritation to the skin)

Sedum are a great plant for novice gardeners as they need little care and attention. Flowering in late summer they are welcomed by pollinators as other flowers begin to die back. They are drought tolerant and don't need a deep soil so can thrive in many areas that other plants won't grow.

Low–growing Sedum spread along the ground making them perfect for use as ground cover or in rock gardens.

Upright Sedum form tall clumps that produce a mass of tiny flowers, good for growing in borders.

After they flower cut them back to contain them in one area and maintain their shape.

As you can see in this picture the bees LOVE them!
