When grown in a container in sun or light shade, clematis can be combined with other plants for a colourful, longlasting display. Planting hardy geraniums, nemesia or lavender at the base of a clematis helps to shade its roots (which clematis like). Alternatively, a compact clematis can be encouraged to scramble through the stems of a hardy fuchsia. But whichever combination you choose, the end result is bound to look fabulous.

Traditional varieties of these attractive perennial plants produce hundreds of small bell-shaped blooms from July to October, and there are also newer penstemons with larger, more prominent flowers. No matter which variet y you choose, all penstemons look particularly beautiful when grown alongside other popular summer-flowering plants – especially English roses.

Alstroemeria, also known as the Peruvian lily, is currently enjoying a well-deser ved spell centre-stage as gardeners and cut-flower growers discover how easy it is to grow and how brilliant it looks in a summer border or a seasonal vase of cut flowers. Native to South America, the latest varieties of alstroemeria –such as the tall Summer Paradise series and the dwarf Inticancha series – are bolder than ever before, with gleaming gold and fiery orange combinations to catch the eye. They’re simple to grow, too: plant in a pot or border, in a warm sheltered spot, and they’ll flower ever y year.
