Terracotta rhubarb forcer £89.99
This beautiful rhubarb forcer has a practical purpose, but its classic good looks means that it will also make a beautiful garden ornament when placed out in your vegetable garden or herbaceous borders. It has a detachable lid and can be used to ‘force’ early crops like rhubarb, chicory and asparagus into producing their ready to eat harvest ahead of schedule. Dimensions: Large: Height 60cm and 37.5cm diameter base. Small: Height 50cm and 37.5cm diameter base. Each pot is fired to 1080 degrees C to make them as frost resistant as possible. However we would always suggest that, just to be extra safe, in the very cold months that you move empty or full pots into a sheltered spot. Our pots are all hand thrown so each pot is slightly different in thickness and shape which gives them their unique character.

Crocus has these new lines today

Indoor pink hyacinths and wicker basket gift set (gift set) £9.99
Gift set includes a lined wicker basket, compost, 6 hyacinth ‘Fondant’ bulbs and growing instructions. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: any well-drained, moderately fertile soil (for container-grown bulbs use two parts John Innes No2 compost to one part sharp grit) Rate of growth: average Flowering period: April and May Flower colour: pink Other features: all parts of the plant may cause a mild stomach upset if ingested; contact with the bulbs may cause skin irritation Hardiness: fully hardy ‘Prepared’ hyacinths have been through a sequence of cold treatments, which triggers the growing process. This means they tend to flower much earlier than ‘unprepared’ hyacinths, and they are mainly grown as indoor plants, where their strongly scented flowers will fill your room with their sweet perfume. Findant has a flowerspike is crowded with flaring, bell-shaped flowers that have a deliciously sweet scent. The petals are a soft shade of appleblossom pink, becoming paler towards the outer edge. Garden care: Using gloves plant bulbs close together (but not touching), into the basket containing bulb fibre, so their tops are just above the surface of the compost. After potting up, they will need a cool, dark period, which will encourage root growth, so pop them into a black bin liner and leave in the shed or garage. Check them occasionally to make sure the compost does not get too dry, and water them when necessary. When the growing shoot is about 5cm tall, take it out of the bag and bring the pot inside to a cool room away from direct sunlight until the leaves turn green. Afterwards they can be moved closer to the window, but if possible keep them away from central heating radiators. After they have finished flowering they can be planted outside in the garden, where they will flower again (in March or April) the following year.
