Trailing type foliage with deep burgundy stems. Foliage may appear copper, red, purple, or burgundy depending on the soil or season. Vigorous mounding and trailing habit. Excellent contrast foliage for containers or bedding. This plant has been shown in the past on the BBC Gardeners World program where they were taking cuttings from overwintered plants.

A stunning violet blue lily from South Africa which has large heads of clear blue umbels carried high over a mound of dark green strap like leaves. Africanus is a larger plant and not frost hardy below about -5˚C best suited to a conservatory. Available in most Garden Centres but expensive - why not try growing some from seed - if you can wait a few years for the plants to mature.

Snow White is a new introduction that will flower within 1 year from seed and hardy enough to be left outside permanently in milder areas. Dwarfer in habit with multiple flowering stems. Getty White is a good reliable white form to try and with the same sort of hardiness but larger flowers and suitable for pot culture.

A handsome desert plant used in tubs and ornamental pots that will take a light frost.

Handsome desert plants used in tubs and ornamental pots. We offer a mixture of Agave species for patio pot displays.

One of the best compact forms looking like a larger version of an artichoke in smokey blue. Grows to 2 ft maximum but slow growing.

A unique collection of the hardiest ornamental Aloes from South Africa. These hybrids have proved to be hardier than the species as well as being bred for the best ornamental value. Tall plants to 6ft or more that will need dry conditions to survive any frosts but even then -5°C will be the maximum tolerance. See pictures of each type of hybrid Aloe we have for sale

Unusual desert plants often used for medicinal purposes. We offer a mixed packet of species from the USA for you to try.

Beaucarnea recurvata is well known as a robust house plant all around the world. They commonly are single trunks with a huge swollen base topped with bright green leaves that spiral down from the central crown. The leaves grow to 6 feet but are only about inch wide. Plants will usually grow to 6-8 feet tall when in containers but larger if planted outside in a frost free area. Native to semi-desert regions of Southeastern Mexico and closely related to Yucca, liking similar arid conditions, hardy to about -5C. The swollen base is a water store for the plant which survives in hot dry climates - do not over water!

Canna have a hard seed (hence Indian Shot!) and will need scratching and soaking before sowing. If you want named hybrids though please see our plant section, but you may be lucky enough to raise a brand new hybrid from this seed collection! Crozy's Hybrids have been around for a few years and offers a useful hybrid selection.

A mixed packet of 2 seeds of each colour.

A superb strain of seed raised Canna. In the first year they start flowering from June, given an early sowing in Jan to Feb. Plus they are quickly clump forming to 8 or 10 flowering shoots by the end of the first season! Semi dwarf to 3ft and ideal for borders or pots. The big attraction is that they are Canna virus free and the colour range is excellent. We were very impressed in our 2006 seed trials. Easy germination.

A member of the laurel family, this tree is a broad leafed evergreen containing aromatic essential oils. The shiny green leaves are quite distinctive, helping to identify the tree at a distance.  The essential oil 'camphor' is obtained from the leaves and twigs. Small yellow flowers are followed by black berries. New growth is frost sensitive and the tree is only hardy in mild parts of the country like Cornwall, maybe tolerant to -5C once mature.

A handsome, vigorous, late-flowering shrub or small tree valuable for its summer and autumn effects. The fragrant white flowers encased in maroon calyces appear in August and September and are followed by bright blue berries still with the colourful calyces. They bloom on current seasons growth. The foliage is dense, attractive and relatively pest -free; when crushed it releases the most unusual scent of peanut butter. Hardy to about -7C with some die back of growth but suckers freely from the base.

A rare member of the solanum family. This is a tamarillo species grown in South America as a food plant, but the taste is not to my liking. It produces clusters of orange 1/2” berries amongst large, heart shaped downy leaves. Not totally hardy, but makes an excellent summer bedding plant reaching at least 6ft from seed in one season.

Developed from the original and popular Dahlia ‘Bishop of Llandaff’ this is a new generation of tall seed grown dahlias with red bronze elegant dark foliage and stems, topped by rich single flowers in shades of red, orange, pink and gold. Grows to 3ft tall by 2ft wide. Tubers may be kept for future years planting or for cutting material of the best colours.

A lovely mixture of a collarette type dahlia excellent for bedding or to cut tp 2ft. Green foliage and compact habit in a stunning colour range. Around the central eye is a collar of short upright petals which often contrast with the main petals giving a distinctive and unique appearance.

A new and exciting dwarf Dahlia 12" to 18" in height with a good colour range of double flowers in white, pink, red, purple, and orange from July to frost. Like Bishops children, what makes this variety special is the dark maroon/green foliage. Excellent for bedding out and if you want a particular selection of colours like all red/scarlet just keep the tubers over winter from the selected colours for next years plants.

A spectacular Echium from the Canary Islands, capable of producing a 12ft flower spike of deep blue flowers from a basal rosette of narrow hairy leaves. From my own experience it will only take -5˚C before being killed by frost but if you are in a warm area, you have to try this plant given room. It is really a biennial though flowering the second year from seed after which it will need replacing. Make sure you have plenty of room for this giant!

This spectacular Echium is a cross between Echium pininana and wildpretii, it produces enormous 10ft, tapering towers of dainty pink flowers over large rosettes of coarse, strap-like leaves, creating a real spectacle. This plant will need some winter protection in colder areas and is only fully hardy in warm areas.

A truly spectacular Echium from the Canary Islands very popular with our customers, capable of producing a 6ft flower spike of pink flowers from a basal rosette of narrow hairy leaves. From my own experience it will only take -5˚C before being killed by frost but if you are in a warm area, you have to try this plant given room. It is really a biennial though flowering the second year from seed after which it will need replacing.

Another plant I have grown for years but it really needs a hot sunny conservatory to do well. Long terminal spikes of typical pea family bright red flowers. Tall plant flowering at 6ft+ but dies back to ground level in cold climates, watch out for the wicked thorns on the stems though! Easy to raise from seed and fairly fast growing.

A spectacular new seed grown geranium with near black leaves edged in dark green that really show off the flowers to perfection. We supply a mixed packet of seed in Appleblossom, Red, Rose and Salmon.

Seed grown hybrid geraniums have come a long way over the last few years and are often indistinguishable from cutting grown hybrids, early to flower, good branching habit and zonal foliage. The horizon range is an excellent example of a superb colour range and most with zonal foliage all with a compact habit and ideal for pot plants or bedding. I remember the first geraniums I grew from seed many years ago when they first came on to the market and I would have given my right arm for this or the Maverick selection!
