Gloom banishing plants perfect for keeping the summer cheer deep into the autumn and beyond are on offer from a climate conscious nursery. When the nights begin to draw in come the end of August and with autumn approaches, it can be a little sad to say goodbye to summer - especially as the British one struggled to properly get going this year. A great way to inject a little cheer and plenty of colour into your garden, whatever the weather and whatever the season, is by planting perennials.

The hardy plants don't wither and shrivel as seasonal ones do when the weather turns, but stay as a cheerful point of light in your garden or window box. One great example is the monarda , an unusual and exciting bloom that will fill your garden borders and containers with scented splendour. From April to October this perennial bursts into a wonderful riot of funky pink flowers surrounded by darker purple-pink bracts.

Three one litre pots containing a different colour of plant in each are currently on offer on Yimbly for £28.99. To sweeten the deal, if you spend more than £50 on Hayloft products, then you will get free postage.

Hayloft is one of the newest additions to online marketplace Yimbly and one which has as fascinating a history as it does plentiful plants for sale. The company was born from Yvonne’s kitchen table at her home ‘The Hayloft’, a converted barn set within the village of Wick near Pershore, Worcestershire. Hayloft now operates at Hollyoaks nursery, Little Combert.
