The world's first Hardy Gerbera in a range of bright, zingy neon colours, the Garvinea series was originally launched to great acclaim across Europe. Bringing the popular florists' gerbera flowers to a garden perennial, they give an amazing 7 months of colour from spring to autumn every year - not many plants can do that! Well, now they have got even better. The breeders in Holland who created them have developed an improved series with much bigger flowers, and even longer lasting performance. called the 'Sweet Series', we are delighted to be able to bring you some of the limited stock. Retaining the same benefits of being winter hardy to around -8°C (although avoid severe winter wet), and flowering for 3 seasons of colour, their highly distinctive flowers simply keep coming - up to 50 on a 2-year-old plant. We love them in traditional terracotta pots, in the sun, or grown in well-drained borders at the front, where they will amaze you with their persistence of flowering and sheer flower number. In winter they are herbaceous, so die back completely underground, to emerge bigger and better next year. In this collection you will receive: 2 x 'Sweet Glow' - Deep orange daisy like booms. 2 x 'Sweet Smile' - Tall stems with gorgeous warm honey yellow flowers. 2 x 'Sweet Spice' - Strikingly bright magenta purple blooms. Supplied as 6 established plants in 7cm pots, ready to plant out.

The Maidenhair Vine is a Muehlenbeckia which are evergreen or deciduous shrubs or semi-woody climbers, with alternate leaves. Its full of masses of thin wiry stems, that are covered in small dark green leaves. It’s a fast-growing and unusual plant, perfect to grow as a shrubby, scrambling groundcover, or if given something to cling to, a twining climber. It is one of the best plants for training on a small trellis. While not necessary for it to climb, it can easy cover a lot of floor space so you can consider hanging it too as a trailing plant or in a hanging basket. The combination of fast growing, large space coverage and the light and airy feel the foliage gives, it’s great for entrances to gardens, ground cover in the garden or indoor near the ceiling. Severe cold will cut it back to the base, which could be a good thing if you have trouble from taking over your space, but it will re-shoot come spring to summer. Light and Water This plant will grow anywhere from sun to shade. However, it will grow best in full sun with some cover to partial shade. Make sure the soil drains well as keeps fairly moist. Test the soil and if the first 2 inches are dry, its time for watering. Water thoroughly until you see some run out from the bottom.
The Turtle Vine is a cute little trailing vine adorned with small round ‘turtle’ like leaves running along the length. Not to be confused with the similarly named “String of turtles” or Peperomia Prostrata, this vine is a cascading low-growing plant and has a lot more foliage which is densely packed. It grows quickly and is fairly hardy, needing monitoring when it comes to their water level. Light and Water Bright indirect light is best, avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun, especially in the summer. Always maintain evenly moist soil and average room humidity is acceptable. If you see any signs of dehydration, introduce more humidity with regular misting or a water tray. The Turtle vine loves moist soil - once the pot begins to feel light when lifted, it's time for another water. Under-watering symptoms include crispy/curling leaves, a grey, washed-out appearance, yellowing leaves and a lack of new growth. These issues are commonly down to either too much heat/light forgetfulness. Dehydration is the number one issue among growers, so always keep an eye out for drying soil. Over-watering symptoms, on the other hand, include yellowing lower leaves, little to no growth and a rotting stem or leaves. Never allow your plat to endure long periods of soggy soil or a dark location as both will significantly increase the chance of over-watering and death.
