Strikingly attractive pitcher plants which give no outward hint of their unusual dietary habits! They attract insects with their enticing scent, alluring colours and the promise of a nectar-like secretion on the lip of the 'pitcher'. A slippery footing on the bloom's rim causes unsuspecting insects to fall inside the cavity of the flower which is filled with a liquid. There is no escape; the insects die and are digested by the plant, it is thought, as a means of augmenting inadequate nitrogen levels in the soil.
Tree fern specialists HSK have developed this specific concentrated Tree Fern Feed to get the best results from their wonderful tree fern logs. In their native habitat, tree ferns grow in dense shady wooded areas, beneath the main tree canopy. Leaves falling off trees gather in the crown of the tree fern, and mix with rain, slowly feeding the top of the log, where the new fronds emerge. This is unlikely to happen here in UK gardens, even in shady areas, so this specialist tree fern feed mimics the nutrients provided in their habitat, with a balanced feed to encourage strong frond growth. Feed every week or so in growing season (May til September), this 500ml will last a least 2 years if used as per the label. It can also be used to feed any other garden ferns in shady locations.
Scarlet, heart-shaped blooms drip from complementary, arching red stems of this outstanding variety. Commonly known as Bleeding Heart, Dicentra 'Valentine' will be the star of your spring border, right from the moment the plum-coloured, shoots push through the soil in spring.
Dicentra spectabilis ?Gold Heart? is an unusual golden-yellow leaved, clump-forming perennial, producing fleshy, arched stems that bear racemes of pink and white heart-shaped flowers in mid to late spring.
