Add your plants

There is something for everyone in our ‘Sweet Shop’ selection of Otter grown bedding plants.

Add splashes of colour to your hanging baskets, containers, beds and borders with our vast range of 6 and 10 pack bedding plants, as well as single pots to enjoy. Our range includes cosmos, verbena, begonias and many more colourful varieties. You can also add pops of colour with our fabulous range of pelargoniums, available in 1.5l pots.

When creating your hanging baskets and containers, think in layers: choose thrillers for height, fillers for volume, and spillers to cascade over the edges for a truly eye-catching display. And don’t forget your pots—browse our wide range of colours and styles to suit every space.

Nothing says ‘summer’ like a blooming cottage garden.

Digitalis add vertical interest to your beds and borders whilst providing stunning bursts of colour. We love the Digitalis Dalmatian series known for its bright tubular flowers with speckled markings on the inside. Salvia ‘Blue Bouquetta’  is great for adding interest throughout a display, with dense, blue-violet flowers from early summer to late autumn. Off-set the gorgeous colours in your borders with our new range of striking Hostas, released at RHS Chelsea in 2025.

Complete your garden displays with stylish yet functional decor, such as obelisks and plant supports.

Care for your garden

Get the most out of your plants this summer with our top garden care picks.

The Hozelock Hose Cart is our top watering companion for a warm, dry summer. It comes assembled and ready to use with 30m of hose, fittings and spray nozzle. Water Butts are also a great way of ensuring your plants stay watered, whilst reducing the amount of mains water you use. Set one up in an open area of your garden, or attached to your guttering and take advantage of any wet weather that comes along.

Get the best blooms this summer by giving them a boost of nutrients. Choose from our range of plant feeds including Miracle Gro soluble or liquid plant feeds.
