It is also a great choice for introducing children to gardening as the peas are so good to eat raw when picked straight from the plant.

Supplied as a packet of 325 (approx.) seeds ready to sow outdoors from March to June directly into their cropping position.

Description for Prunus incisa 'Oshidori' (Standard) not available
This collection comprises of 3 top sized bulbs, the same as used by commercial flower growers in Holland - gorgeous soft lemon yellow. These incredible Skyscraper Lilies grow so tall they look like trees! In their first year they will reach up to 1.5m (5ft) tall, but in future years, once they are fully established, they will get even taller up to 6 or even 7 foot tall eventually! These large flowered beauties arise as a consequence hybridisation between Oriental and Trumpet strains of lily hence the marriage of both species characteristics. Every flower delivers a wonderful heady perfume and each individual stem can carry well over 20 blooms, which can measure well over 15cm (6in) across. Grow all 3 in large pots about 15cm apart, or in groups in garden borders. They have very strong stems, so should not need support. Cut them for the long-lasting displays in the vase, or leave them to marvel at in your garden. Allow them to die down naturally after flowering, and they will build up reserves for even bigger and better displays the following year. Fully Winter hardy, they will last for many years.
A gorgeous bouquet of sunflowers and complimenting seasonal blooms that include roses, lilies, gerbera daisies in cheerful autumn colours. Accented by fresh foliage this arrangement will provide a ray of sunshine for the lucky recipient.
Little Dorrit produces a large, rich yellow head with a deep chocolate centre above an imposing pyramid of huge foliage. A rather exciting little plant for the border, which will cause intrigue, excitement and evoke comment from all. Easy to grow; ideal for children.
