There?s nothing more iconic than our native British Daffodil! Narcissus pseudonarcissus is not just an escaped garden variety, like many of those seen on our roadsides.
British Queen Seed Potatoes are a 100-year-old variety originally bred by Archibald Finaly and still exceedingly popular in Ireland today. One of the finest white kidney-shaped mid-season potatoes available, they offer excellent flavour, floury flesh and good yields throughout the season. This all-purpose variety is particularly well-suited to boiling, mashing and roasting.#html-body [data-pb-style="60599B214F0B2"]{justify-content: flex-start; display: flex; flex-direction: column; background-position: left top; background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: scroll; border-style: none; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 10px;}#html-body [data-pb-style="60599B214F0C3"]{border-style: none; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}

With their intense indigo blue colour and sweetly fragrant perfume, Bluebells boldly herald the arrival of Spring and the onset of warmer weather. You can now create your own carpet of these pretty woodland favourites in your garden. Simply plant them in a shady spot at the base of a hedge or around the base of a tree where they will naturalise just like in the wild. As is the case with Snowdrops, planting Bluebells 'in the green', when they are in leaf and still growing, is by far and away the most successful method of establishing them and is much more successful than planting dry bulbs in the Autumn.
Emerging like bright yellow stars from the soil, at the same time as snowdrops, Aconites herald the start of lengthening days in the garden. Perfect for mixing with snowdrops, and for colonising and naturalising under trees, or shady spots. Once planted, they will die back this season, and emerge stronger and better every February, slowly spreading out to gently cover small areas.
