Full Description
Thoughtfully curated by our head designer each year, this collection brings complementary colours, textures and forms together in one coordinated planting scheme.
Create a quiet, considered border with the Harrod Contemporary Calm Collection. White lavender, Limelight hydrangea and soft blush-pink Geranium Dreamland sit among rounded osmanthus and the flowing foliage of Hakonechloa macra.
A restrained palette of white, green and soft pink gives this collection its character. Rounded shapes and contrasting leaf textures make it a natural partner for contemporary paving, simple garden lines and places to sit and unwind.
Plant selection
Where availability changes, suitable alternatives may be used to maintain the overall style, colour palette and planting role of the collection. The image is design inspiration rather than an exact representation of every plant supplied.
About the image
The image illustrates an established planting scheme. Plants are supplied in the sizes listed and will develop over time. Pleached trees, hard landscaping and installation are not included.
Complete the look
Add height and privacy with pleached trees, available separately.
Planting and care
Plants in this collection vary with availability. Check the light, soil, drainage, spacing and winter-protection needs of the plants supplied before positioning them. Water thoroughly after planting, then during dry spells until the plants are established. Pruning and other ongoing care should follow the requirements of each supplied species and cultivar.

Delivery and unpacking
On arrival, carefully remove outer packaging and check the plants against your order. Handle plants by their pot or root ball where possible, rather than pulling on stems or branches.
Check root moisture and water if needed. Until planting, keep the plants upright in a sheltered position and prevent roots from drying out. If supplied bare-root, keep the roots covered and moist and plant promptly when conditions allow.
Delivery arrangements and any charges are those confirmed for your order.
Important information
The hydrangea in this border should not be eaten and can cause illness if swallowed. Lavender can also cause stomach upset in pets. Keep children and animals from eating the planting or cuttings; normal garden handling is a different exposure.
Hardiness is a conservative estimate for the whole mix (H4), based on its least cold-hardy listed plant. Individual plants may be hardier; site, drainage and establishment affect winter survival. The rating assumes the listed planting recipe; substitutions can change hardiness. The white lavender variety is unconfirmed, so H4 is used cautiously until its identity is known.
