Eryngium Blue Glitter |
||
|
A fast growing Eryngium that can add height to the back of a border and a good stem length for fresh and dried cut flower production. 'Blue Glitter' has silver blue stems that unfold into an abundance of small shimmering blue pincushion flowers. Best in hot sunny conditions with a rich fertile soil that needs to be well drained. Actually a perennial but only for very mild areas that are frost free in winter. |
|||
 |
Eryngium Purple Sheen |
||
|
An attractive annual architectural thistle with vibrant metallic purple blue flower stems and bracts. Less spines than some varieties and the flowers or seed capsules are excellent for cutting and interesting for flower arrangers. |

A huge, heavy 4" diameter stemmed sunflower with large flower heads 18” across and big leaves, capable of achieving 20ft or more with a rich soil and an early sowing. The original seed source came from a 25ft record height sunflower. They need an earlt start and a long growing season to develop their full potential and some support will be needed in early autumn as windy conditions set in. |
|||
 |
Helianthus
Kong |
||
|
A true monster reaching heights of over 14ft with a branching habit giving a longer flowering period. The bright yellow flower heads are up to 20cm across. One of the most unique giant varieties on the market and the first heavily branched, multi-headed plant. |
|||
 |
Helianthus
Grey Stripe |

|
Another huge sunflower grown for shear size maybe to 16ft with massive 18” wide flower heads. The challenge with this one is keeping it upright with the weight of the large heads! Heavy 3" diameter stems and large leaves |
|||
 |
Helianthus
Italian White |
||
|
A lovely creamy white sunflower with dark centres ideal for cutting. Medium 4” blooms on 6ft tall plants with a good branching habit. A delicate sunflower that contrasts well with other varieties in a mixed border. |
|||
 |
Helianthus

A fabulous sunflower and the best red type we have grown. Some flowers are almost crimson as in the photo above but others are almost black or black/brown. The centres are all also nearly black creating a fabulous display. A tall plant to 8ft all with multi branching habit on strong stems. |
|||

A lovely sunflower that will produce multiple heads if pinched out, otherwise it can be grown to produce single 12” flowers with a deep brown centre and red petals to 4ft tall. |
|||
 |
Helianthus
Russian Mammoth |
||
|
This one is not from Russia but one that the Russians preferred for eating purposes. It bears huge single 22” flower head on strong plants to 10ft. It will probably need staking to support the heavy heads. |
|||
 |

 |
Hesperis
matronalis Mixed |
||
| Sweet Rocket is one of the traditional 'Cottage Garden' plants with a sweet heady perfume which is particularly strong in the evening.. A short lived perennial, it is best grown as a biennial when it will remain in flower from June to September. It will self seed so you need to remove the dead flower heads if you want to prevent it spreading. 2-3 ft. Principally grown for the sweet scent a few plants scattered among your tropical planting will really add to the evening ambience. | |||
 |
Hibiscus
acetosella Red Shield |
||
|
A specimen flowering shrub from tropical Africa to 5ft with striking burgundy/black maple like foliage. Blooms late in the season though, so best grown outside in a warm position for the foliage and then brought inside for its late Autumn carmine flowers. |
|||
 |
Hibiscus
cannabinus kenaf |
||
|
An unusual member of the hibiscus family grown for cash crop paper making. They germinate in 24 hours in heat and can reach 18ft tall in 9 months of growth, but more likely 6ft to 8ft in a UK Summer. Useful for a fast growing foliage plant in a tropical border with pale lemon yellow flowers. We have a new strain now with palmate leaves and larger 4” flowers |
|||
 |
Impatiens
Jungle Gold |
||
|
An excellent yellow Impatiens from seed. Vigorous, bushy plants with glossy green foliage are accompanied by spectacular golden yellow blooms. Very free-flowering with exceptional weather tolerance when planted in tropical borders or containers. We do not normally sell Busy Lizzie seeds but we could not resist the name! |
|||
 |
Impatiens
Safari Mixed F2 |
||
|
Safari produces robust, free flowering plants in brilliant colours so, if you like your pots and pouches bright and cheerful, this is the one for you. It also makes excellent edging for beds and borders. The colours include reds, pinks, purples and white. (30cm/12ins). A good choice for F1 seed performance at a lower price! |
|||
 |
Iresine
herbstii |
||
|
Cultivated for its striking, colourful foliage Irestine is a short-lived perennial best grown as an annual. Contrasting dark veins on rich crimson waxy leaves. Grow as an edging plant in a bed, in a window box or in a patio container. |
|||
 |
Leonotis
nepetifolia |
||
|
Annual lion’s ear from South Africa is an erect, loosely branched annual that can get 8ft (2.4 m) tall in its single growing season. In our 2005 trials from a March sowing, they attained large multi branched 7ft plants. The flowers are borne in rounded, spiny clusters, (5cm -10cm) across, that encircle the stems so that it looks like the stems are growing right through the middle of the clusters. As the stems elongate, new flower clusters continue to develop above the older ones. The tubular flowers which peek out of the spiny heads are orange and furry, like a lion’s ear, so rumoured. The flowers are about 1” (2.5 cm) long and curve downward. It has a bad name as a self sowing weed in warmer climates, so be aware of the problem if you reside outside of the UK. |
|||
 |
Lobelia
Riviera Aprx 1000 seeds £1.49 n£ |
||
|
The Riviera range is a superb bedding variety and early flowering, approximately 15 days earlier than standard varieties. They have a vigorous but compact habit to 10cm. We offer colours in blue with a white eye, a deep marine blue and a strong rose. Alternatively try the well established String of Pearls variety in mixed colours that I have been growing for about 30 years! |
|||
 |
Maize quadricolour 20 seeds £2.55 JS181 |
||
|
Quadricolour is a great novelty, an architectural, non edible form of sweet corn, with pink and white striped leaves! Grow this plant in the same way as corn on the cob raising it from seed in April and planting out after the last frosts. I find the plant variable even after years of seed selection and I would advise selecting the best leaf forms before planting out. |
|||
 |
Marigold Hero- French Bedding 50 seeds £1.95 JS2151 |
||
|
Dwarf double type to only 10” tall with large 2” to 3” blooms with a compact, early flowering and uniform habit. Gives a spectacular show. Available in a mixture of scarlet, yellow, gold and maroon with bi-colour markings. |

Marigold Marvel - African Aprx 50 seeds £2.95 JS1721 |
||
|
I just love these plants for summer bedding and especially mixed with tropical plants like Canna and Banana plants. The Marvel range that we have selected to complement your tropical bedding, have the largest most fully double flowers on the market today. In Gold, Orange and Yellow they are botrytis resistant with up to 5" blooms on high performance compact plants 12" to 18" tall. What more do you need? However if vivid Orange and Yellow is not your thing, try our Sweet Cream selection for pure white blooms. |
|||
 |

The original ‘love lies bleeding’ Excellent in a tropical bedding theme where it emulates the tropical plant Acalypha hispida. The green and red forms are much used in flower arrangements with tassels to 24” long. |

|
A colourful quick growing plant from Peru with small trumpet-shaped, sweetly scented flowers in clear solid colours of red, pink, yellow, stripes and mottled, that open in the late afternoon with a lovely evening fragrance. Although a perennial it is best grown from seed each year and either planted out in June in a moist sheltered border or grown in pots for patio use. It forms large underground tubers that can be stored over winter like Dahlias for much larger plants the following year. |

 |
Nasturtium
Blue Pepe |
||
|
This unique variety has been bred for culinary use, the edible small round leaves are uniquely coloured steel blue on top with purplish undersides with a peppery flavour. These are offset by the vivid dark red flowers that can also be used in salads, but the plant also makes a stunning decorative annual.

A fast-growing bushy plant reaching a height of 3ft to 4ft. It has large lobed leaves, and large pretty blue flowers, followed by papery seed pods containing a large berry which look similar to the Chinese lanterns. The common name refers to the fact that it is regarded as a deterrent to whitefly if mixed among other plants in a greenhouse or outdoor crops. Best grown as an annual |

A very desirable cultivated form of
Nicotiana with big beautiful fresh green leaves and producing many
candelabra-like sprays of fragrant tubular flowers. It is not so tall as
the pink at 5ft but with huge clusters of 3” long tubular flowers and a
lovely companion to the pink. Tall and elegant, this plant makes a great
backdrop and with a heavy evening scent its flowers light the way
through a moonlit garden. |
