Up for grabs with 50% off at Gardening Express, this collection has been specially selected to give a variety of foliage, colours, shapes, and textures. Which plants you get in this lucky-dip bundle will be selected from the wide range of varieties grown in Gardening Express’ nursery.

The Acer palmatum Beni Kawa, a hailed as a magnificent variety of coral bark maple, may be included in the set. The popular cultivar has coral-red, flaming bark and a blend of soft green-gold leaves that stand out from the bright bark. The shining stems contrast against slushy lawns or dead plants in the winter.

The collection’s other items might include the Firecracker from Acer palmatum dissectum, which is formally known as a Firecracker. Due to its exquisitely crafted, deep purple foliage, which is carried on crimson-colored stems, and recently introduced varieties, this spectacular variety is highly sought-after. In the fall, this foliage turns dazzling fiery red. This dense-growing, mound-forming variety is ideal for planting close to ponds and other garden features because of its upright, spreading habit.

Acer palmatum Orange Dream, a rare Japanese maple cultivar with a unique form and color, is another plant that is included in this bundle. The large shrub “Orange Dream” has striking orange-yellow foliage over bright green bark, giving it a truly unique appearance due to its slow growth habit and slow rate. This gorgeous Japanese maple will enhance any garden and look wonderful in a pot or tub on a balcony or patio.

This Acer palmatum Shin-Deshojo variety, which has stunning red foliage, could have a fourth variety. It is probably the best-value Japanese item among Gardening Express’ customers and one of Gardening Express’ favorites. The Acer “Shin-Deshojo” has a unique spring color, changing from burning scarlet to red. The tree is well suited to growing in a large tub or patio planter because of this, which is combined with its semi-dwarf growth habit, which further increases the high demand for this easy-to-grow variety. The bright coloration is retained by the new growth throughout the summer, and like other Acers, it also carries the fiery hues of autumn.

While this sale lasts, Gardening Express is offering this four-piece collection, which retails for £79.95.

Hulk Hogan, the legendary WWE wrestler, passed away this week at the age of 71. After a 911 call, he was reportedly having severe heart problems, paramedics arrived on the scene.

Hulk Hogan spent his final weeks battling severe health issues and making peace with estranged loved ones before dying of cardiac arrest. The wrestling icon, born Terry Bollea, died on Thursday morning after suffering a cardiac arrest at his Clearwater mansion in Florida. He was 71.

Paramedics rushed to the property after a 911 call reported he was experiencing acute heart problems. He was taken to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A source said that the former WWE superstar had long been battling a “very weak heart” and had deteriorated significantly in recent weeks.

According to the insider, “he was experiencing shortness of breath and becoming tired easily over his last few weeks.” He also started to lose weight, which made him appear frail. Terry was aware that he wasn’t acting properly.

His condition was in stark contrast to his wife Sky Daily’s recent denial that his husband was seriously ill. She had previously refuted reports that he was coma and that his heart was “strong” following neck surgery.

He had been recovering from a four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion, a complex spinal procedure, which she described as “an intense surgery with a long and layered healing process.”

The former wrestler, who reportedly spent his final days in a state of reflection and reconciliation, determined to make peace with his past despite his struggles.

He desired to reconcile with a number of people. He felt the need to restore the bridges that had already been damaged. Hogan and his daughter Brooke were separated at the time of his death.

The father and daughter spoke for the last time to Sky Daily in 2023, which she did not attend, according to TMZ.

During the call, Brooke, 37, reportedly told her father she loved him and urged him to slow down, citing his worsening health. Hogan’s death shocked the sporting and entertainment worlds, and tributes poured in from fans, celebrities, and fellow wrestlers. Donald Trump issued a statement via Truth Social, calling Hogan “a great friend.”

“Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way – Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart,” Trump wrote. “He entertained fans from all over the world, and the cultural impact he had was massive.” The former president praised the “Hulkster” for delivering an “absolutely electric speech” during the 2024 Republican National Convention.

At the time of his death, Hogan’s career was thought to have cost around £18 million. His legacy included wrestling becoming a well-known sport in the 1980s.

Brooke, his third wife, Sky, and his 34-year-old son Nick, who were also married to Linda Claridge, and two grandchildren, all survive him. Hogan’s turbulent personal life frequently appeared in media alongside his stardom in wrestling. After a divorcing in public in 2009, he split from Claridge and wed Jennifer McDaniel in 2010. In 2021, that union came to an end.

Hulk Hogan, who passed away this week at the age of 71, has received tribute from Sebastian Stallone. In 1982, the pair co-starred in Rocky III.

Sylvester Stallone has paid a heartbreaking tribute to Hulk Hogan, who died this week. The WWE wrestler died at the age of 71 following a reported cardiac arrest and tributes have since flooded in for the sportsman.

Rocky star Sylvester, who first appeared on Rocky III’s set in 1982 alongside the wrestler, said he knew he would become well-known. On set, Sylvester claimed there was a glow about him.

He also posted on Instagram, writing: “I had the pleasure of meeting this brilliant personality and showman when he was 26 years old. He was absolutely wonderful and his amazing skill made Rocky three incredibly special. My heart breaks. I think that he’s gone.”

Follow our live blog for more updates as Hulk Hogan’s death progresses.

Sylvester recalled how the 315-pound Hulk would pick him up and drop him to the ground, but he had a unique method for lowering him so he wouldn’t get hurt. He referred to the punches as being incredibly precise and precise.

He referred to the wrestling star as a “force to be reckoned with” and said that the wrestler was “very talented” at the beginning of his career and had yet to emerge. I can tell you that he was “absolutely incredible,” weighing in at around 315 pounds (22st 5 pounds) but very intelligent. He spoke in a powerful, calming voice.

And he was ready to contribute anything to improve the show. The whole point is that, like David and Goliath, the bigger the better, and no one initially wanted him because they thought he was too big. And he arrived in excellent condition.

He said to TMZ, “The thing is, we started to roll around and he would literally pick me up and drop me to the ground.” I anticipated that by the time I land, he would be literally pulp and perform stunts that you wouldn’t expect them to.

Hulk was then described as being smart by Sylvester. He said, “He was very smart. I am aware of how many people view books based on their cover. He was the subject of the same action. He had a lot of entrepreneurial spirit and was very smart.

“He simply was in a lot of pain,” he said. He obviously sustained numerous injuries. He claimed to have received a score of 10 plus, but he never complained. He made an effort to be as pleasant as possible and persuade himself. He means a lot to me. He is unavoidable. He and Ozzy Osbourne have had a rough week so far. Some significant people have been lost.

Kate Garraway styled a versatile co-ord to create a fun and youthful aesthetic that you can still replicate in a summer-ready blue ensemble earlier this week.

Loved-up Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has shared excitement for Saturday’s big day on social media, as he prepares to marry Hanni Treweek this weekend

Coronation Street’s Jack P Shepherd is getting married this Saturday (July 26) after deciding against having a stag do. The 37-year-old The Coronation Street actor, who also won Celebrity Big Brother this year, is now set to walk down the aisle with long-term girlfriend Hanni Treweek.

The loved-up Corrie star has shared a sweet Instagram story ahead of the big day. The post from Jack is a re-share from Hanni’s account and shows three rows of bunting with the words ‘bride to be’ included on the decoration with spaces for photos to be added in.

The photos added shows highlight’s from the couple’s sweet relationship, which took a new level last year when Jack popped the question to Hanni on an African safari. As Hanni filmed a glimpse of the wedding decor, she wrote: “Happy wedding week baby!!!” followed by a white heart emoji before she tagged Jack, who re-shared the post with a heart eye emoji to share his excitement.

The couple will marry tomorrow and the exact location of the wedding has been kept secret. The pair got engaged in June 2024 while on a Tanzania safari trip in East Africa.

But there’s been one tradition Corrie star Jack P Shepherd skipped – he didn’t have a stag do and didn’t want one. A few months ago he admitted: “No, I don’t like the idea of going on a stag do where someone just takes the p*** out of you all weekend and you’re the butt of every joke and you have to dress up like a f***ing baby.”

Hanni didn’t have a hen party either, but now the happy couple are just one day away from tying the knot and preparations have been in full swing for some weeks. A previous post two weeks ago included a look ‘behind the scenes’ as the couple prepared to get hitched. Events organiser Taylor Lynn Corporation shared a video of Hanni smiling with a huge white shoulder bag with the word ‘Bride’ in silver lettering as she walked along a street in a casual outfit and flip flops. Other shots showed both Jack P Shepherd and wife-to-be Hanni in sunglasses, happily making their way to the event planners Taylor Lynn Corporation in Manchester.

The planning company then wrote on the Instagram post: “The countdown is officially on for Jack & Hanni’s big day. But first, a little behind-the-scenes magic with the bride-to-be.”

The couple actually met at a mutual friend’s wedding during the time that Hanni worked as a storyliner on Coronation Street (from 2018 to 2020).

In a rare interview discussing his personal life in April 2025 he said: “The wedding is this year. We’re very excited. It’s all done. It’s all paid for. It should be a really good day actually. I love a wedding. Absolutely love a wedding. Weddings and funerals.

“I really like funerals as well, in a weird way, because they’re never that sad. You go and all you ever do at funerals is laugh, I think. Do you know what I mean? And you all get sandwiches, you know what you’re wearing, you have a few drinks, you have a few laughs.”
