Hello from all of us at Hilltop! This month, the leaves will start to change and we'll feel that first hint of autumn in the air. To celebrate the onset of one of the prettiest months, we’ve got some fantastic offers to keep your garden looking glorious — and your bank account happy! Whether you’re stocking up on perennials, getting organised for spring colour, or treating yourself as a Rewards Club member, there’s something for everyone here at Hilltop, your favourite garden centre in Clacton.
3 for £12 on Hosta, Aster & Heuchera!
We’re big fans of perennials here at Hilltop because they’re the plants that just keep on giving year after year. This month, we’ve got three fantastic varieties to choose from:
- Hostas – The kings of shady spots, with lush, leafy foliage that looks amazing in pots, containers, or tucked into your borders.
- Asters – These colourful blooms will give your garden a late-summer and autumn lift, and they're perfect for adding height and interest.
- Heucheras – If you love foliage colour, you’ll adore these. Heucheras are low-growing beauties, ideal for shady or semi-shaded spots, and are available in some gorgeous autumnal colours.
At 3 for £12, you can fill your garden with colour, texture, and interest without breaking the bank.
3 for £10 on Wallflowers for early spring colour!
September is the perfect time to plant wallflowers, and we’ve got a gorgeous range of varieties in 13cm pots ready to go home with you. Pop them in now and you’ll be rewarded with a dazzling display early next spring — just when we all need that colour boost the most. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, they’re perfect for brightening up borders, beds, or containers.
