Vivaldi Potatoes - 3kg (Second Early) 3 kg

Vivaldi Potatoes – 3kg (Second Early) 3 kg £8.45
Vivaldi is a highly sought-after variety, widely appreciated for its taste and texture. Produces high yields of attractive potatoes that are lower in carbohydrates and calories than other varieties, making it ideal for slimmers! Second early variety. Flesh Colour – Yellow. Uses – new, boil, steam, mash, saute, baked and roast.Our seed potatoes are inspected by the relevant certifying authority and that number is featured on the bag labels (within riddle size 35mm x 60mm). This eliminates over large and very small potatoes. IMPORTANT – Immediately upon arrival unpack your seed potatoes and keep them in trays in a light, airy, frost free place to sprout prior to planting. Planting – depth 10cm (4″); spacing in row – 30-40cm (12-16″); width between rows – 70-75cm (28-30″). Soil should be well-worked and rich in humus (farm-yard manure or garden compost). Earth up two to three times as the top grows, to avoid green tubers. Feed with a balanced fertiliser and always keep your potatoes watered well during dry periods to ensure a good crop. IN PATIO CONTAINERS/GROW BAGS: Try Lady Christl, Swift, Maxine, Winston, Anya, Charlotte or most early varieties. We recommend one tuber to a 20 litre pot. In grow bags, reduce length by a third to give more depth and plant 2 tubers to a bag. If growing this way, the compost will need to be well watered. If any potatoes come to the surface, cover with more compost or black plastic to prevent the tubers turning green. ORDER DESPATCH – Potatoes are sent separately from your seed order and will be despatched promptly, weather permitting. Please note that we monitor weather conditions daily during critical periods and do not despatch when frosty conditions are forecast. 3kg pack will be enough to plant a 10-12m row. HEALTH BENEFITS: A good source of vitamin C (Anti-ageing, wound healing, decreasing blood cholesterol and prevention of infections. Assists the body in absorbing iron) and Potassium (Regulates heart rhythm, nerve impulses and muscle function), protein and fibre.

Orchid Calceolus (The Little Shoe of Venus) 1 Potted Plant

Orchid Calceolus (The Little Shoe of Venus) 1 Potted Plant £64.95
This beautiful orchid was formerly a reasonably widespread plant across northern England, particularly the limestone area of the Yorkshire Dales. But by the late 20th century it had declined to just a single plant! Perhaps the most exquisite of the Lady’s Slipper Orchids, it boasts downy leaves, and flower stems topped by 1-3 blooms, whose sepals and petals are maroon (rarely green) and often spirally twisted. The sac of the slipper-like lip is yellow, and spotted inside with red. Enchanting! Flowers in June. Height 45cm. Supplied in 1 litre pots.The Cypripedium family are undoubtedly the most sumptuous of all the orchids that will thrive in our British climate. The roots we supply are already six seasons old, so they’ll flower in their first summer! They will thrive in a moist but well-drained soil, in full or dappled shade. And, as the plants become established, the rhizomes will spread to form spectacular clumps. Full growing instructions included. September June

Poppy Super - Shasta Pack of 3 Bare Root Plants

Poppy Super – Shasta Pack of 3 Bare Root Plants £10.95
Magnificent, crimped, lime-white, tissue-paper-like petals with a delicate frosted pink edging. Height 75cm.Not only do these new interspecific hybrid ‘Super Poppies’ have thicker, more weather-tolerant petals than your average oriental poppy, they are also longer-flowering.

Peony Shimanishiki 1 Bare Root Plant

Peony Shimanishiki 1 Bare Root Plant £15.95
Enormous, ruffled, satin-like flowers in a breathtaking combination of red and white. This peony is a connoisseur’s delight! Height 70cm. Flowers May-June (and mature plants may re-bloom in August). Tree variety.The tree peony, Paeonia suffruticosa, was originally developed by the Chinese over a thousand years ago, and then further developed by the Japanese. The first specimens were introduced into Britian in the 18th century, and more were collected between 1843 and 1862 by the Victorian botanist Robert Fortune. Unlike their herbaceous cousins, they do not die down each autumn, but instead grow into large shrubs, and they boast beautifully dissected foliage and flowers that are so large and layered that they almost don’t seem quite real.Paeonia plants are a traditional mainstay of the English cottage garden border, their voluptuous blooms evocative of another era. They’re hardy, very easy to grow, relatively drought-tolerant and will put on an annual performance for decades to come. Ideal for cutting, they come in an awe-inspiring range of shapes and colours. Full growing instructions included. Mid October May-June
