How To Grow
Hydrangea Frilled Collection prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any rich fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Alternatively plant Hydrangea Frilled Collection in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.

‘Red Frills’ – Produces white flowers with deep red margins.
‘White Frills’ – Produces frilly edged white flowers with soft pink margins.

Height and spread: 1 to 1.2 metres. Supplied as vigorous Powerliner® plants in August, the perfect time to establish your plant for next year.

Powerliner® plugs are well established, mature plugs which can be potted on or can be planted straight into the border or containers. Each plug module is 6.5cm in diameter.

flamenco strawberries review

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2014

flamenco strawberries review – I’m going to be getting a couple of plants to test out over the next year. They’re supposed to be prolific fruiters from July until October. They sound a fantastic addition to my current strawberry bed.
Flamenco was bred by the renowned East Malling Research, Kent.

T&M reckon that from only 12 mature Flamenco Strawberry plants you will be able to harvest a bumper crop of 10kg (22lb) of fruit in one cropping season from mid May until November, with the peak of the fruit produced in early September.

That’d be pretty impressive!

Aromel are supposed to last until October fruiting too.

From Suttons
