Little Miss Chatterbox loves gardening. It's one thing she can do while she's talking. She can chat away without bothering anyone - although sometimes the birds in the garden ask her to 'Shush'!
This collection comprises of 5 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 5 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. Supplied as a pack of 5 bulbs, size 14/16, ready to plant out in January-May.
Sometimes known as the Cobra Lily, it's not hard to imagine how it got this name, resembling the forked tongue of a Cobra. A fiery, exotic and fabulous looking summer-flowering bulb, not widely known or grown, yet very easy in pots. Not entirely hardy, it will take a degree or two of frost if well-drained, so we suggest growing in pots, with added sand or gravel for drainage. Plant 3 or 4 corms in a 25-30cm diameter pot, as they will spread over 5 years or so, giving bigger and better displays. The best displays are from full sun spots, so feed and water well in warmer months. This relative of Montbretia (Crocosomia) produces lovely, deep-orange flame-like flowers in tall and showy spikes in high summer, developing to seed-pods which add autumn interest. Bring the pot inside over winter to ensure survival for following years. Supplied as a pack of 5 bulbs ready to plant out.
This top performer offers the longest cropping period from late May through to October, producing blue-green domed heads. It shows good tolerance to hollow stem and resistance to bolting. Suitable for closer spacing or if growing space is tight.
A deep red 'baby pointed' cabbage for autumn/winter cutting. It has a mild, sweet taste, ideally suited for shredding raw for autumn and winter salads, or used as a cooked vegetable.
This high yielding organic cauliflower produces reliable, top quality, uniform curds that can be cut from midsummer onwards. The well protected, firm, pure white heads of Cauliflower 'Goodman' are quick to mature on vigorous plants that can be cropped just 80 to 90 days from transplanting. Height: 45cm (18). Spread: 60cm (24)
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.
