Petunia Black Velvet x15 Plants
Petunia Black Velvet x15 Plants £15.90
Buy 2 Packs Get 1 FREE!  When we saw this amazing new petunia at our breeder’s trials we just had to have it! It’s the first of its type and has wonderful deep black velvety flowers set against luscious green foliage. A real novelty Black Velvet has a compact habit perfectly suited to hanging baskets pots and containers. It’ll create a real WOW factor when planted on its own or combined with small white flowered varieties such as Euphorbia Disacia or Lobelia. Delivered from May onwards Petunia Black Velvet is grown from cuttings which give a more vigorous plant with better developed roots. They’ll arrive as large plugs approximately 10-12cm tall from root to tip – ready for planting out.

Hardy Garden 'Mums' x15 Plants
Hardy Garden ‘Mums’ x15 Plants £13.90
Special Offer – Buy 2 Packs Get 1 FREE!  Requiring only a minimal amount of pinching out these naturally free-branching plants form bushy mounds that get smothered with so many flowers that the foliage gets almost totally obscured. And once they start flowering in late August/early September they’ll just go on and on until the first frosts. Perfect in patio pots they also make excellent subjects for edging a pathway. Leave them in situ to die back over winter cut out the died-back stems when new growth appears in the spring and the flowering cycle starts all over again. A rich reward indeed for so little effort! Collection consists of 15 plants 3 each of the following:   Padre White Aklion Pink Carmina Red Axima Yellow Padre Lilac  
Early Decorative Spray Chrysanthemum x15 Plants
Early Decorative Spray Chrysanthemum x15 Plants £13.90
Special Offer – Buy 2 Packs Get 1 FREE!  Chrysanthemums still manage to maintain their popularity near the top of the cut flower charts second only to the rose perhaps. And it’s easy to see why. They are long lasting come in a wide range of shapes and colours and are inexpensive. Growing your own will give you even better value-for-money. Sprays are not difficult to grow – they don’t require dis-budding like the Blooms they just need to have the growing tip pinched out – and only a few plants will provide lots of sturdy stems for cutting. Collection consists of 15 plants 3 each of the following: Pamela Bronze Gompie Purple Ellen Yellow Red Lilian Hoek Ellen White
