Acalypha hispida 1 Litre Plant £16.15 JP1790 |
||
|
This is a very attractive tropical shrub with its bright green toothed leaves toothed and long, hairy tail like crimson drooping red flower clusters. Capable of reaching a height of 2 meters careful pinching and pruning may be necessary to keep Acalypha Hispida from becoming too tall and untidy. The red flowers can reach up to 10-50cm long. It requires bright light, well drained soil and warm conditions. Dead flowers should be removed and watering should be minimal in winter and spider mite can be a problem without control. |

||
|

medicinal and beauty purposes for thousands of years. It is believed
that it was one of the secrets of Cleopatra for keeping her skin soft.

Beloperone guttata variegata 1 Litre Plant £16.20 JP1060 |
||
|
A very useful pot plant that I have grown at various times over the years and always a favourite of my wife. We offer here a lovely variegated leaf form for something a bit different. |
|||
 |
Bilbergia nutans 1 Litre Plant £15.00 JP1640 |
||
|
Billbergia nutans makes a good conservatory plant and is also happy as a houseplant where it can live on a windowsill for years. It is often listed in magazines as one of the top ten houseplants that can tolerate almost total neglect. It is a bromeliad, related to the pineapple requiring a well drained, gritty soil. Water only when really necessary and feed only occasionally. Grown in full sun, the foliage loses some of its lustre but produces copious amounts of exotic pink flower spikes. I have had customers tell me that they will survive quite well outside given a sheltered micro climate. |

||
|

It is often listed in magazines as one of the top ten houseplants that can tolerate almost total neglect. It is a bromeliad, related to the pineapple requiring a well drained, gritty soil.

 |
Brillantaisia guianensis 1 Litre Plant £18.90 JP2240 |
||
|
Medium to large herbaceous, tropical shrub with tall spikes of purple blue flowers from central and west Africa. Can grow up to 8-9ft but responds well to pruning. Large, rough, fiddle shaped leaves and hairy stems. This is a large shrub suitable for a spacious conservatory or used as summer bedding in a warm location. Ours flower non-stop from Spring to Summer and grow well when treated as summer bedding. |
|||
 |
Cestrum nocturnum 1 Litre Plant £17.95 JP1577 |
||
|
This plant has one of the strongest fragrances around in the evening, when the scent becomes almost intoxicating. The masses of small, creamy blooms open up at night releasing their perfume, but some scent still lingers during the day from the semi closed flowers. They bloom on and off during the warmer months of the year and grow quickly so regular pruning will be needed to keep it contained. An extremely popular plant always in high demand. |
|||
 |
Clerodendrum ugandense 1 Litre Plant £17.95 JP1048 |
||
|
The blue butterfly bush is a tough open growing African evergreen shrub to 10ft tall, but is easily kept much smaller. The inflorescences, borne at the ends of long arching branches, are panicles 4-10in long composed of individual 1” blue violet flowers more or less continuously throughout the summer and autumn. |
|||
 |
Cyperus papyrus 1 Litre Plant £12.95 JP535 |
||
|
Both seed and plant
demands for Papyrus from JS&G are high. Attractive 6ft plus reeds with
18” delicate flower heads, drifting in the breeze. Requires protection
from the wind planted out or the reeds will bend and break. |
|||
 |
Dombeya wallichii 3 Litre Plant £19.95 JP2127 |
||
|
Dombeya is a
spectacularly large shrub with large heart-shaped leaves and dense heads
of little pink flowers which hang from foot long stems. The plant is
native to Madagascar, but widely grown as a large garden shrub in
Florida. Not at all frost hardy but ok for a cool conservatory. Can be
pruned after flowering in mid summer to keep to a sensible size but best
in a large conservatory where it will create a dramatic impression. (We
had a 10 litre stock plants in bud around November flowering in March at
4ft tall from a late spring pruning.) |
|||
 |
Epiphyllum Oxypetalum 1 Litre Plant £16.25 JP795 |
||
|
An easily cultivated,
fast growing epiphyte. Needs compost containing plenty of humus and
sufficient moisture in summer. Should not be kept under 10ºC (50ºF) in
winter. Can be grown in semi-shade but not full sun, extra light in the
early spring will stimulate budding. Flowers in late spring or early
summer and large specimens can produce several crops of flowers in a
season. The blooms are stunning 12" wide strongly fragrant and pure
white. Each bud only opens for one night though and usually after 7pm,
and it is really frustrating if you miss it! This epiphyllum like plant
can reach tree like proportions sending out 4ft glossy green shoots that
are tougher than they look. Why we do not sell it is that slugs simply
love the new growth and I gave up trying to produce "clean" plants, but
if you do not mind the odd nibbled leaf we are happy to supply this rare
and fabulous plant. |
|||
 |
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Cooperi 1 Litre Plant £29.00 JP2418 |
||
|
A lovely, rare, slow
growing variegated hibiscus with red flowers. We have seen this grown as
hedging in the Caribbean and it looks simply stunning. The leaf
variegation is white, pink and green in an unusual mixed pattern. A must
have for any collector enthusiast. |
|||
 |
Hibiscus schizopetalus 1 Litre Plant £25.95 JP1065 |
||
|
One look at the fringed
hibiscus, and it’s easy to see why the shrub is so popular across the
world. It’s unique weeping flowers set it apart from other hibiscus
varieties. The gorgeous pink and red pendent flowers make it very
popular as a pot plant. Growing naturally to more than eight feet tall,
the plant can be pruned and trained but it needs a very warm environment
to survive our winters. |
|||
 |
Impatiens niamniamensis 1 Litre Plant £17.75 JP1338 |
||
|
This succulent-stemmed,
balsam like plant from tropical East Africa has flowers that look like
the head of a scarlet, yellow, and green parrot. This dramatic and
unusual houseplant can grow to 3’ tall, covered periodically with these
quite gaudy flowers. Although not constantly in bloom, it typically
produces its long-lasting flowers several times a year. Grow in a warm
part shady position under glass just like a balsam plant. |
