Created a great deal of interest when grown at the Scottish Horticultural Research Institute, yet it is very widely grown in Northern Italy. The 'spears' can be snapped off individually or all together. Broccoli Romanesco has a taste and texture exceeding the finest broccoli and to really appreciate the flavour it should be cooked and served individually with melted butter.
An eye-catching and unique colour combination! These large heads first open white, then the blooms change quickly to pink, purple and salmon shades whilst still retaining the occasional white flower. Sure to add interest to borders or to cut flower displays. Height: 40-45cm (16-18in).
Bulbs such as Daffodils herald the arrival of spring and these bright bloomers are a must for everyone. With their distinctive trumpets, there are few flowers which are as instantly recognisable. Trumpet Yellow will bring bright yellow sunshine to your spring garden and your home! This abundant flowering variety will give you loads of vivid flowers. Plant them in groups of 6-10 for maximum impact, in full sun or semi-shade, either on their own or with other spring-flowering bulbs of different colours for an eye-catching display. Reliable and hardy, they are possibly the easiest plant to grow - just dig a hole, add the bulbs, cover them up and leave them alone! They'll grow almost anywhere too, even happy in light shade, but they do prefer a free-draining soil.Leave the bulbs in the ground after the flowers have died back, and they'll naturalise to reward you with bigger, better displays, each year for many years to come. They also make a fabulous cut flower - not least for their wonderfully strong fragrance - so be sure to plant enough to fill your vases several times over. Supplied as a pack of 12 bulbs, size 12/14 ready for planting on the autumn.

Sunflower Pacino Gold seeds are a perfect ornamental plant! This dwarf sunflower produces many bright yellow heads that follow the sun throughout the day. It is one the best-known garden flowers. They are incredibly versatile and can be grown in pots on the patio or in a border. Loved by pollinators, they will attract masses of bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects into the garden. Leave the dead heads out as they can be used as makeshift birdfeeders in autumn and winter.Starting a flower garden is inexpensive if you are willing to spend time growing seeds. Your hard work will then be rewarded with a wonderful oasis right on your doorstep. Attract honey bees and butterflies to your garden which helps to stimulate the process of pollination and look after the environment.
