Brighten up the darkness of winter with these gorgeous Christmas Roses! Helleborus niger is one of the most popular Hellebore varieties across the world, and it is easy to see why. And it has been improved by plant breeders with the introduction of this new variety ‘Christmas Carol’, with many more flowers and a much longer flowering season.
Each plant will produce an abundance of truly beautiful bowl-shaped, snowy-white flowers, which turn shades of pink as they age, across the festive period and beyond, year after year. They have lovely, thick, dark-green leaves and foliage too.
Perfect for displaying indoors they will make a magical centrepiece, when put in a decorative pot or wrapped in some festive wrapping paper! After, plant them out in your garden they are completely winter hardy and will last for years, with displays coming back bigger and better each year.
Apricot Tomcot tree 4.5L 1M+ talll £24.99
The Cot series of Apricot trees have taken the commercial fruit and gardening World by storm in the last 5 or so years, bringing exceptional crop yields and fruit quality.
‘Tomcot’ is one of the best for the UK climate, suited to our colder climates, where we get less accumulated sunshine, yet we get plenty of Winter chill to set buds.One of the key reasons it works well over here is it is late flowering, so avoids the late frosts that can afflict other Apricots. Yet, it catches up and still yields heavy crops of juicy, deepest orange fruits in the UK – perfect eaten when warmed by the sun straight off the tree, or for cooking and jam making.
The tree is grafted onto Montclair rootstock, a new dwarfing type keeping it short and manageable. To cap it all, ‘Tomcot; is even self-fertile, so does not need a partner to produce heavy crops.
You will get crops in 2 years of planting, this is a great opportunity to buy a tree of the size normally available only to commercial plantations.
‘Tomcot’ really will deliver big crops of fresh Apricots here in the UK.
