A collection of striking flowering plants for the summer terrace has been sourced by Floral Fireworks for Times readers. It includes ten fragrant Gladiolus callianthus (nodding white flowers, to 75cm); three Eucomis autumnalis (greenish white spikes, to 45cm); three Lilium ‘Casa Blanca’ (large white blooms, to 120cm); three Eucomis bicolor (waxy pale green flowers edged with maroon, with golden seedheads, to 45cm); and one Agapanthus comptonii (large, mid-blue, shaggy heads, to 75cm). This classy selection will fill five good-sized pots. The agapanthus will be sent rooted, in a 1-litre pot, and the rest are dispatched as bulbs. The Times Terrace Collection costs £19, including delivery, which will be in March. Order on 01460 249060 or visit www.floralfireworks.co.uk.
