Primula vialii
£4.95
Primula vialii is also known as the orchid primula , it’s a real eye catcher when it’s in bloom which it starts to do in May, but if it’s really happy and especially if you keep it well fed after it’s first flush it will often flower well into August. It likes a moist soil in the summer but not too wet in the winter, so it’s those mythical moist but well drained conditions! The leaves are velvety when they first appear becoming smoother as the season progresses
Plants are supplied in a 9cm pot.

Astrantia ‘ Venice’
Astrantia ' Venice' is a strong growing Astrantia that has rich red flowers held on straight stems that don't need staking, slug proof , Astrantia 'Venice' won't disappoint! It will grow in any moist well drained soil in sun or even shade but it's flower colour will be paler in the shade, as in my opinion it's one of the brightest reds available it's a shame to loose any of it's amazing tone.

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.
