Asda is selling a fun garden décor buy for £60 less than Debenhams – it’s perfect for sunny days
HOLIDAY-enthusiasts are sprucing up their homes with a tropical-themed garden accessory.
Summer-loving customers can’t get enough of a chic addition to their outer areas – for a slice of the price.
Asda is offering a Hawaiian style Tiki Beach parasol courtesy of George Home for just £35.
While Debenhams‘ Hula Thatched Patio Tiki Umbrella has been reduced from its original £244.95, it still comes in at £94.95.
The stylish Asda sun shade boasts a raffia effect top and simple push up and down function to make it extra to use.
Adjustable and elegant, it also comes with a carry bag if you want to take it elsewhere.
Fans commented: “I bought this and I absolutely love it. It looks fantastic. Well worth the money.”
“I absolutely love this parasol. I was looking for one but didn’t want to spend a fortune for it to then break. This is quirky and a very good price. I think I need to buy another one as I love it so much,” praised a second happy customer.
“Great addition to the garden. Compliments my restful area and gives it that holiday feeling when looking out from the hot tub,” penned another user.
“Loved this tiki parasol. Bought it for my garden. Reminds me of being on holiday at the beach. Very good quality,” commended a fourth fan.
“Feels like I’m in Hawaii!!!!” approved another.
Elsewhere, customers have been double impressed by the superstore’s garden furniture.
Shoppers have praised Asda’s chic summer sets, one of which is on sale for less than £140.
Other happy customers have shared their delight on the George website.
The set, made from corrosion-resistant galvanised steel and weather resistant textoline seating material, comprises a sofa, two arm chairs and a glass-topped coffee table – perfect for sun or cloud bathing.
8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden
Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots.
Tricyrtis
A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is “as tough as old boots!”.
Penstemon
I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They’ll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes.
Luzula sylvatica ‘Marginata’
With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it’s great asset is that it
will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill – dry shade.
Eryngium x zabelii ‘Big Blue’
A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your
garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant’s interest period.
Sarcococca hookeriana ‘Winter Gem’
If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers.
Cornus sanguinea ‘Anny’s Winter Orange’
A dwarf version of ‘Midwinter Fire’ the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days.
Rosa ‘Noisette Carnee’
A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, “noisette” flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November.
Sanguisorba hakusanensis ‘Lilac Squirrel’
I’ve never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade.
