Bugle plants are well known for their performance in the shade, but Ajuga reptans 'Black Scallop' combines their traditional low maintenance and exceptional ground cover with a surprising tolerance of sunlight. Indeed, its green foliage develops an interesting, liquorice tint when exposed to the sun's rays, making the 'Binblasca' variety is an eye-catching addition to the front of any border. It can also be used in rockeries, for it flourishes in most soil conditions. Additionally, the hardy perennial produces spikes of violet flowers which appeal to pollinators in May and June, so it is well-suited to wildlife gardens. Height: 15cm (6); Spread: 60cm (2'0).

"Alright, so if you're wondering where everyone in the UK goes to grab their bits and bobs, it's a pretty diverse list, but some names definitely pop up more than others. For pretty much anything you can think of, from groceries to electronics and clothing, the big players like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, and Morrisons are absolute giants, with Argos often tagging along for those bigger household purchases. When it comes to fashion, you can't ignore the high street staples like M&S, Next, and Zara, which just consistently draw in the crowds for everything from everyday wear to special occasions. And for all those home improvement bits or just general stuff for the house, B&Q and Dunelm are always buzzing. Of course, the online game is massive too, so you've got to throw Amazon into the mix as a mega-popular 'stockist' even though it's not a physical shop – loads of people get their stuff almost exclusively from there these days! Basically, it's a mix of big supermarkets, familiar high street names, and the ever-present online giants that are pretty much running the show. " - Bargainplace UK
