RED HOT AND GORGEOUS!

Sumptuous velvety clematis glowing deep in rich reds, pinks, purples and blues. Climbing and twinning up to cover many unsightly objects in your garden! Virginia creeper (parthenocissus) and its glorious autumn reds is a great alternative climber to have on offer
Acer palmatum is a fabulous foliage plant that will almost catch fire with colours of red (depending on variety), as the leaves begin to turn. Some, like ‘Crimson Queen’ are compact enough to be grown in large pots which makes them perfect for patios.
Potentilla presents perfect perennial red choices at this time of year. Use the vivid reds of ‘Gibson’s Scarlet’ to colour the ground level of the display.
All the above plants are available from your nearest St Bridget Nurseries Garden Centre. Old Rydon Lane (01392 873672) and Clyst St Mary (01392 876281), Exeter.
