Sauromatum ( Typhonium) venosum
£3.95
Sauromatum venosum / Typhonium venosum produces an amazing flower in early spring before the leaves emerge, the interior of the spath looks like cream velvet spotted with dark maroon, it looks fab but smells bad! luckily it only lasts for a couple of days. The main attraction with this plant is really the incredibly snakeskin marked stems that hold a semicircle of bold green leaves. It likes to be well drained and in a shady spot out of cold winds, it’s great for giving your garden a tropical feel!
Plants are supplied in a 9cm pot.

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!
