Geum ‘Gimlet’
£4.50
Geum ‘Gimlet’ has the softest, primrose yellow,semi double flowers. It is happy in full sun or semi shade, in fact it grows well in full shade but doesn’t produce as many flowers, but the foliage looks fab! A damp site is where it is really at home( damp but not completely soggy boggy!) and will bulk up into a good clump within a season. Although it’s main flowering flush is in the spring if it is dead headed it will often come back into flower and treat you to more blooms in August – September.Geum Gimlet is a great addition to the perennial border, giving you flowers almost all summer.

PRIMULA Wilsonii
Primula Wilsonii has rich ,dark red flowers that first appear in May, if we have a warm late summer they will have a second flush in August. Happiest in average to damp, well drained soil in sun or semi shade. Primula Wilsonii is evergreen so it doesn't get lost in the border over winter! and has aromatic roots and leaves, it forms a good clump that can be divided after flowering. It is in my opinion one of the classiest primulas!

Tricyrtis formosana ‘ Dark beauty’
Tricyrtis formosana 'Dark beauty' has almost black buds that open in September to reveal exquisite white maroon spotted flowers. Held on strong stems that don't need staking that are clothed in spotted leaves. It is best to plant with a little shelter, but formosana is probobly the easiest form to grow.Plants are supplied bare root in Winter and early spring and in 1.5ltr pots from May till December.
Schizostylus coccinea ‘major’
Schizostylis coccinea 'Major' brings a burst of colour late in the season when everything else is thinking of of going to bed for the Winter! It is happy in average growing conditions but doesn't like to dry out too much in the Summer, but neither does it like too much wet in the Winter, this makes it sound as if it's fussy but it's really a very easy plant that grows well here in Wales even with our somewhat soggy Winters. It will form a good sized clump eventually at least 60cms or more wide that can be divided preferably in Spring , although I have divided Schizostylis all through the seasons and it's never let me down.
Plants are supplied - bare root Oct - March . 1.5ltr pot - March onwards.
PRIMULA FLORINDAE RED/ORANGE shades.

They are hardy to - 25c and will form a good clump that can be divided after flowering. These plants are supplied in a 9cm pot.
