A really free flowering range of tuberous begonia excellent for pot plant displays or summer bedding. We had a beautiful display of this variety last summer amongst our tropical bedding all grown from seed in the spring. 3 1/2" all double blooms in 10 different colours.

A fabulous ornamental begonia with large colourful leaves in shades of green, white and pink. Our mix is taken from a number of hybrids and it will be interesting to see what plant leaf colours they produce. Not easy to raise and needs some expertise to manage and grow the very fine seed. Keep out of sun but with bright light they make excellent house or windowsill pot plants living for many years. I used to grow these all the time years ago until my wife became fed up with seeing them year after year and wanted a change! (I must sneak a few seeds in again and hope she does not notice!)

A delightful conservatory or house pot plant that remains compact and uniform and covered with star shaped deep blue to white flowers. Excellent pot plants that after 6 months slow growth will flower all year round even brightening up our dull winters. We offer a mixed selection of white to light blue and dark blue.

Pouch like flowers smother these pot plants in brilliant colours of red, yellow and pinks creating a stunning annual display for a cool environment like an unheated conservatory in winter. They can be grown at any time of year but more commonly used for winter flowering from autumn sown seeds. Multiflora makes a larger pot plant in vibrant colours. Cinderella is an F1 hybrid being day length neutral and genetically dwarf, this series brings fresh, bright colors into the darkest time of the year. For weeks on end, the compact plants with their dense cover of bright flowers are a source of delight that brightens anyone's home.

Another excellent long lasting house plant with glossy dark green leaves contrasting vividly with bright orange, red or yellow flowers. Easy to raise from seed flowering in about 3 to 4 months. Keep warm over winter.

The cigar plant is native to Mexico and the islands of the West Indies. A sub shrub that grows to about 3ft in height with a similar spread. The leaves are lance shaped or narrowly elliptical and dark green with brilliant orange flowers that inspire this tropical perennial’s common names like cigar flower and cigarette plant. Pinch back the stem tips occasionally to maintain a dense compact shape, easy from seed and a delightful pot plant

A 30cm tall Cyclamen with some of the largest flowers in 7 separate colours. Flowers December to January brightening up those dark winter days with a fabulous display.

Beautiful compact plants with good leaf markings and an excellent colour range of wavy edged flowers on strong stems.

A stunning Cyclamen with pale pink fringed flowers edged in red. A popluar favourite for something unusual.

The Echo series is the world’s first 100% all double-flowering cut flower type Lisianthus. Echo is a Group 1, early-flowering, spray type Lisianthus with the strong stems necessary to support the luxurious satiny double blooms on stem lengths of 32 inches. Colours include blue, blue picotee, lavender, light blue, rose, pink picotee, white and yellow.

Persian Violet is a small herbaceous biennial plant with small dark glossy green leaves. Older plants will only reach 2 foot tall even after many years so they make a great windowsill plant. Seed sown in mid-winter will bloom in the summer. The small ½ inch bluish-lilac star-shaped flowers with deep yellow stamens are delightfully fragrant and showy.

A unique colour mix of Persian Violet in pink, white, deep blue and light blue in pelleted seed form for easier sowing. These are small herbaceous biennial plants with small dark glossy green leaves. Older plants will only reach 2 foot tall even after many years so they make a great windowsill plant. Seed sown in mid-winter will bloom in the summer. The small ½ inch bluish-lilac star-shaped flowers with deep yellow stamens are delightfully fragrant and showy.

Freesias are so strongly scented that even a few potted or cut blossoms will bring fragrance to an entire room.  They have slender sword-shaped leaves and wiry stems 12” to 18” long that may need support. Most freesias bloom in winter or early spring and are ideal as pot grown plants in a cool greenhouse and brought indoors when flowering. Normally grown from small bulbs but many more plants can be raised by seed growing, flowering in their second year. Mixed selection also includes red, yellow, blue and white shades.

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!

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 Picotee range have paler centres giving a two tone colour effect together with zonal foliage, all with a compact habit and ideal for pot plants or bedding.

The Maverick series bred for volume commercial use is one of the best seed grown geraniums, easy to grow and very uniform to flower on strong zonal foliage. Large 15cm shatter resistant flower heads in a wide range of colours make them very suitable for bedding out or for Pot/Patio use.

Gerbera cut flowers or pot plants give fantastic colour and beauty to any room.  For best results though the plants need a liberal amount of sun and water. Half day of direct sun and half day of partial shade and remaining slightly moist at all times is ideal. Healthy Gerberas are rarely bothered by pests but fungus and stem rot is a common problem with over watered plants. Remove old leaves regularly to prevent fungus infections. Duplex hybrids have long stems and 3" to 4" flowers and is the form seen as a cut flower.Festival is an F1 hybrid earlier flowering and a more compact plant with large flowers held just above the foliage on shorter stems.

A good colour range from purpley-blue, pink, white and some picotee white and purple or white and pink flowers. Gloxinias enjoy bright light but not direct sun. Because the leaves are velvety they do not like getting wet.

Beautiful double form of Gloxinia in a range of blue, red, white and some bi-colours.

Gloxinias are one of the most beautiful houseplants you can grow. Each flower is velvety and bell shaped with blossoms of at least 3-inches in diameter! This one has one of the widest colour ranges that we have found with pink, red, purple, white, lavender, including both spotted and bicolour forms. Gloxinias enjoy bright light but not direct sun. Because the leaves are velvety they do not like getting wet. Gloxinias die back in the autumn and as the plant begins to fade, water less frequently and then stop watering all together. The tuberous stem needs about 2 to 4 months of dry soil combined with a dark place to re invigorate. When new leaves appear bring the plant back inside the house and resume watering. Place it in a sunny location to grow again. Another plant I grew in my youth to give away to girl friends or their mothers! They all nicknamed them “Peter’s Gladutias”!

Unusual impatiens with columns of beautiful camellia type flowers in a wide range of colours on dwarf 12" to 15" plants that make very attractive pot plants. I have grown these on and off for many years and in my opinion should be more popular.

Very large flowered variety in an array of bright colours, with green and bronze foliage. The best so far for pots, patios, tubs and baskets. Halfhardy perennial that can be overwintered in a warm greenhouse for huge plants the following year. Colours in red, salmon, white, pink, lilac and some bicolours.

'Passion Mix' is a new superior strain 12" to 18" tall, requiring a warm position in well drained soil tolerating dry sunny positions. The single daisy flowers can be shades of rose, purple or a contrasting pure white. Osteospermum (Dimorphotheca) is also known as Cape Marigold or African Daisy because it is native chiefly to South Africa. Perfectly adaptable to pots, patio terra cotta planters or window boxes. You may need seed growing experience to successfully raise from seed. Frost hardy to only about -5°C so for most of us better in pots in a cool greenhouse or treated as an annual.

Whether you use this splendid tropical plant indoors in containers, or in a warm greenhouse, Brazilian Fireworks is a fabulous plant closely related to Justicia. With its long, angular leaves of deep green scored with silver and its central bloom cluster of vivid pink and purple, it distinguishes itself beautifully as an oasis of rich colour and fascinating foliage. This plant grows readily from seed, blooming the first year. Showy enough to give as gifts even to non-gardening friends as it is an easy houseplant given warm humid bright light conditions, (but not direct sunlight).

Exciting winter flowering new hybrid, large dense flowers umbels borne on compact uniform plants in carmine and white shades. It is early flowering so should be sown mid-July to Late August. A lovely tender Primula suitable for cool glass house growing and one of my favourites from a past life when I used to grow all of these primulas for pot display.

A hardy flowering tender pot plant that will give you an almost continuous display of flowers for many years in delicate pastel shades of pink, blue and white. Easy to grow from seed but with some plants the leaves may be touch sensitive for some people creating an allergic skin reaction. This strain is “primine-free” though eliminating the problem.  A really excellent tough house plant capable of withstanding some abuse!

Gigantic 12" tall polyanthus with flowers up to 3" across, best grown as protected pot plants in a cold greenhouse or planting out in mild areas. This special mixture contains an excellent colour range.  Flowers early spring with a good repeat flowering habit.

Something different for Spring flowers, the culture is the same as for cool Primrose glass house growing and the uniform habit with a profusion of Obconica type large flowers makes a lovely pot plant. A mixture of white, light rose, dark rose, blue, scarlet and orange to 12" tall.
