Abutilon Seeds - Bell Boy Mixed

Abutilon Seeds – Bell Boy Mixed £1.79
CHRIS SAYS: I love this exotic-looking plant! It’s sometimes known as ‘Chinese Bells’ or the ‘Flowering Maple’, not that it is related to the maple, the likeness is in the shape of the leaves. It’s a lovely, exotic plant for a conservatory or sunny patio, producing large, paper-like flowers in a range of colours, nestling amongst the large, showy leaves, throughtout the summer.

Salvia Seeds - Mojave

Salvia Seeds – Mojave £1.39
CHRIS SAYS: Mojave is a new type of red salvia that is a real advance on an old favourite. Unlike existing types, Mojave has a dwarf somewhat spreading habit and the flower production is such that the plants become covered in bloom. The bright red blooms contrast well with the dark green foliage. The rate of flower production is such that new flowers smother the fading ones meaning there is no need to dead-head. Whats more its British bred to suit our conditions. Try edging with lobelia Cambridge Blue for a subtle companion, or growing with marigold Zenith Yellow for a real colour contrast. Flowers June-September. Height 25cm (10). HHA – Half hardy annual.
