Crocus has cut the price of these items
Convallaria majalis var. rosea (lily-of-the-valley) was £7.99 now £3.99
Position: partial or full shade Soil: leafy, fertile, humus-rich, moist soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: May Hardiness: fully hardy A rarely seen form of lily-of-the-valley with pale pink flowers, it is an excellent choice for a woodland garden or the front of an unstructured border where it will spread to form a naturalised carpet. The flowers have a delicious scent, so plant them next to an entrance or path. Alternatively, they make excellent cut flowers, so they can be used to fill your home with their perfume. They will thrive in full sun or partial shade, provided there is adequate moisture, but their seeds may cause a mild stomach upset if ingested. Garden care: Divide and replant congested colonies in September, applying a generous mulch of composted leaf mould around the base of the plant.

Streptocarpus ‘Crystal Ice’ (Streptocarpus in a ceramic gift pot) £19.99
Position: partial shade Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil or fibre-based compost if grown indoors Rate of growth: average Flowering period: usually throughout the year Hardiness: tender (will need to be over-wintered indoors, or in a shaded greenhouse) Grown for their showy flowers, which come in a wide range of colours, these tender perennials make superb houseplants. They will flower from mid-spring to mid-autumn and tend to bloom more prolifically when slightly pot-bound. Mainly originating from woodland, rocky slopes and grassland in southern Africa, they require a frost-free position with filtered sun. Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the compost to get a little dry in-between, during this time they should also be fed with a high potash fertiliser. Overwinter in a shaded greenhouse, or indoors on an south or west-facing windowsill, watering less often. Repot each spring into a slightly larger, shallow pot filled with fibre based compost. They can also be used as summer bedding, grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade. This Streptocarpus in a lovely white ceramic pot (11cm dia) makes a ideal gift. Streptocarpus Crystal Ice: The first ever continuously flowering streptocarpus. This is a very floriferous variety with medium sized small white flowers. The lower three lobes are covered with fine deep blue veins. The leaves are narrow lance shaped and form a very attractive rosette, making Crystal Ice an exceptionally beautiful plant. The height of a mature plant will be up to 30cms in height (12″).
