Crocus has cut the price of these items

potato ‘Charlotte’ (potato – second early, Scottish basic seed potato) was £8.99 now £4.49
Position: sun-partial shade Soil: fertile, well drained Rate of growth: fast-growing Harvesting period: mid-late June Hardiness: protect tubers from frost Popular and high-yielding, these pear-shaped salad potatoes have a waxy flesh that maintains a good flavour when eaten hot or cold. Reliable and easy to grow in a wide range of soils, they have some resistance to scab and a good resistance to blight. If planted in summer, you can begin to harvest your new potatoes in late autumn to Christmas. Garden care: There is no need to chit seed potatoes which are planted in summer, so just plant them straight out into trenches dug into a well-prepared bed about 30cm (12in) apart, or plant them into a potato grow-bag, making sure there is at least 20cm (8″) of compost beneath them. Add a general purpose fertiliser to the bottom of the trench or growbag and then cover the potatoes with a 20cm layer of soil or compost. Keep well watered, and as the plants get to around 20cm (8in) tall you need to bank up the soil around the plant, so the soil covers the bottom two thirds of the plant. Watering your plants well will help improve crop yield and discourage potato scab. It is important that the crop is protected from frosts and the crop should be ready to harvest in around 12 weeks.

Crocus reduced the price on these items today
Allium neapolitanum Cowanii Group (ornamental onion bulbs) was £2.49 now £0.99
Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast Flowering period: April to May Hardiness: fully hardy Bulb size: 4/5 Open clusters of pure white flowers appear in late spring or early summer, creating a soft, lacy effect. The flowers last for ages after being cut and the bees will find them very attractive, so try to plant them in large numbers. In smaller gardens, they look great in pots where they can sit on a sunny patio. Garden care: Plant bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart. Avoid excessive mositure from late summer when they become dormant. Over-large clumps can be lifted and divided in autumn or spring.

Agapanthus inapertus subsp. pendulus ‘Graskop’ (African lily) £3.99
Position: full sun Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil (or John Innes no.3 compost for containers) Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July to September Hardiness: half hardy (will need protection in winter) This striking Agapanthus has a compact head of drooping, dark violet blue flowers in July. The buds as they emerge seem almost black and are held erect, slowly elongating and finally becoming pendulous as they open. A deciduous cultivar, which is tougher than the evergreens – and therefore hardy in most parts of the country in a sheltered, sunny spot. Garden care: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser throughout the growing season. Keep reasonably dry during the winter and protect the crowns with a dry mulch in the autumn. Divide plants that have become too big in spring, but remember you will often get more flowers when the roots are constricted.
