A long-standing favourite for beginner and experienced gardeners alike, this British-bred, early cropping variety is proven to have the best resistance to the dreaded carrot fly, whose larvae like to burrow into carrot roots and make them vulnerable to rot. In addition to its excellent pest-resistant properties, 'Flyaway F1' is deserving of its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit because it is just such a good all-rounder, being easy to grow and producing plenty of tasty roots to harvest over a long growing season. One of the best-tasting carrot varieties you can grow, it produces sturdy, blunt-ended roots, typically 12-15cm (5-6in) or longer, with a smooth skin and deep orange colour. Its deliciously sweet flavour is balanced with a tender but crunchy texture - great for eating raw or in stir-fries, or conventionally boiled, steamed or roasted to make the most of its superior flavour. This reliable, trusted variety is a great companion plant to grow alongside onions, leeks or mint as their aroma will repel carrot fly, providing an extra line of deterrence to ensure good cropping. Supplied as a packet of approx. 350 seeds. Sow from March to July, directly where they are to crop in well-drained, light but fertile soil in a position that will enjoy full sun. Harvest from June to November. Early crops can be lifted from 9 weeks after sowing with main crops maturing up to 12 weeks and beyond. Successive sowings will provide continuous crops over the growing season.

Also, and an absolute bonus in our opinion, the flower colour does not change with the pH in your soil - they're always white! This hydrangea is sure to become an exceptional garden favourite, so get yours now and become one of the first to grow it. Introduced at the premier UK flower show, Hydrangea 'Runaway Bride' was bred by world-renowned expert Ushio Sakazaki who also brought us trailing Surfinia Petunias, so this is a hydrangea with a superb pedigree. Bang on trend as cut flowers or winter displays, hydrangeas are known the world over for their heads of gorgeous flowers, they're easy to grow and a breeze to maintain, no wonder they're one of the UK's most popular flowers! Eye-catching in pots and planters on the patio or decking, the flowers dry on the plants and retain their appeal for a very long time, often until the middle of winter and you can even use the flowers in dried flower arrangements.
