A new innovation, the Skelly Pot and Tray - the greener way to garden. We're really excited to bring you an eco-friendly potting revolution - the new, fully reusable and recyclable 'Skelly Tray' and Jiffy Bio Pots. Effectively improving the quality and efficiency of plant growth, this pot carrier enables the bio pots to become an attractive, cost effective and eco-friendly alternative to plastic pots - helping to reduce landfill and working towards the overall amount of plastic polluting the environment. The unique 'skeleton' design exposes the bio pots to the air, which 'prunes' the roots, giving more compact plants. The bio pots allow any plants to be grown in them for 3-4 months and the whole bio pot can go straight into the ground for zero transplant delay - pots then degrade naturally in the soil after planting. Eco-pots have always been the favourite choice for gardeners keen to help the environment, as they ensure even watering and can be planted pot and all. Used in conjunction with bio pots, the Skelly Tray allows to effectively group a number of pots together, improving air circulation and therefore decrease disease and increase growth. Supplied as 3 Skelly trays, plus Jiffy Bio pots for 36 plants.
A favourite in cottage gardens and patio containers alike, Scabious ?Kudos White? will give you an exceptionally long season of colour in the garden as the delicate white blooms cover the plant from June all the way through to October! ?Kudos White? will produce flowers over and over again, much to your delight, and that of pollinating insects such as butterflies and bees, who?ll love the huge number of flowers!

This long flowering perennial is a magnet for butterflies from June right through to October. The soft pink, pincushion flowers of Scabious ?Kudos Purple? are borne in profusion, never losing momentum until the cooler autumn weather arrives. Scabious is a well loved herbaceous perennial, though often has a slightly gangly habit - but not ?Kudos!?.
A compact, perennial scabious producing masses of lilac-blue blooms throughout the summer, above neat cushions of green foliage. These charming pincushion flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies and their slender wiry stems can also be cut for a posy or small vase indoors. Scabious 'Blue Jeans' makes a fabulous addition to the front of cottage garden borders, where it blends well with any colour scheme.
Good ground cover doesn't always have to mean creating a high maintenance border or flowerbed. Low-growing plants such as Microbiota decussata, an easy-to-maintain, evergreen conifer, provide excellent, year-round coverage and require little effort. What's more, Siberian Carpet Cypress can be grown on steep slopes and in other problematic but sunny areas. Wherever it's planted, Russian Arbor-Vitae will add interest to the garden, especially when it turns an attractive bronze-purple colour in the winter. Height: 1m (3'3). Spread: 1m (3'3).

A nice addition to cottage gardens, Scabious 'Kudos Collection' is two types pf pincushion flower; Scabious 'Kudos White' and 'Kudos Purple'.
Scabious 'Butterfly Blue' is great in wildlife gardens because, as its name suggests, it attracts scores of butterflies and bees between July and October. These pollinators flock to the hardy perennial's lavender-blue blooms, which protrude on dainty stems above grey-green, lance shaped foliage. Scabiosa atropurpurea, which is sometimes called Pinchushion Flower or Sweet Scabious, grows best in sunny, cottage garden borders, but also makes an interesting cut flower. Height: 40cm (1'4). Spread: 40cm (1'4).

Geranium cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' is often planted in large groups, either as a bloc or in lines at the front of garden borders, or down the sides of garden paths and driveways. It has nectar rich flowers that attract pollinating insects.

A new innovation, the Skelly Pot and Tray - the greener way to garden. Recently launched at the UK's premier Horticultural Trade Show, it won Best New Professional Product, and we are delighted to be the first to offer it to the amateur garden market. There is clear pressure and desire to reduce single use plastics now, and these compressed peat Jiffy Bio pots are perfect, giving 3-4 months of growing pants in them as they slowly degrade, meaning once rooted to plant them pot and all into the garden or planter. The game changer is when combined with the 'Skeleton' tray, the unique design allows lots of air to circulate round the side of the bio pots, as opposed to very little when they are wet and rammed into a solid sided plastic trays. The benefit of this is 'air pruning' - when a new root hair meets the air, it stops growing out, and increases branching and new root development in the compost, as well as letting more air into the compost too. This creates stronger, more well-rooted and compact plants that race away with no transplant shock when potted on or planted out. Designed by an old school commercial grower in northern England, who also invented the Easy Fill hanging basket, he now grows his bedding plants in this system, because it : Reduces plastic use Produces Quicker, better rooting out Grows More compact and robust plants Offers Quicker and easier to plant straight out Perfect for pricking out seedlings and plugs for 3-4 weeks to grow on, or sow or root your own cuttings in them. Supplied as a single tray, plus 8cm diameter Jiffy Bio pots for 12 plants. Refill packs of biopots are available. Ask us for quotes on larger volumes.
