Description
1 x seed packet (10 seeds) Fresh harvest.
A spectacular species of Sauromatum with large ‘Arum’ shaped leaves and a deep purple / maroon inflorescence. Foliage is large and impressive.
Fully hardy, but very late to start into growth in the UK – late July or even August.
Freshly harvested seeds. Sow in any well drained sowing compost. Gentle bottom heat will help speed up germination, but this is still likely to take around 6-8 weeks.

Agave montana Seeds
1 x Agave montana seed packet containing 10 seeds.
Agave montana is a Mexican species with stiff and spiny deep green leaves. Over the past few years, Agave montana has taken the horticultural world by storm as it is both easy to grow and can take cold and frosty temperatures with ease.
Sow the seeds on the surface of a well drained compost. When larger, plants can be planted outdoors in a very well drained gritty or gravelly soil in full sun. Although this species is very cold hardy, it is well recommended to place a rain cover over the plant during the winter months. Excessive moisture or snow freezing in the crown can sometimes cause problems.
Arisaema fargesii Seeds
1x seed packed containing 10x Arisaema fargesii seeds.
Arisaema fargesii is an unfussy and vigorous species. The flattish pinky brown tubers multiply easily through small offsets.
The spathe is strongly hooded and striped brown and white, with the spadix hidden deep inside. Eventually, Arisaema fargesii can reach large proportions. The leaf will be 'tear shaped' (hastate) in young plants. As the tuber increases in size, this leaf becomes trifoliate.
Eucomis comosa Seeds
1x seed packet containing 10x Eucomis comosa Seeds
Eucomis is a genus of bulbous plants from South Africa. Their common name 'Pineapple Lily' refers to the tuft of leaves held on top of the flower spike, giving the appearance of a pineapple top. Eucomis comosa is one of the easiest species. It is also one of the larger Eucomis and can make quite a statement in a herbaceous border.
Glossy strap-shaped leaves emerge in late spring, followed by their remarkable flower.
These seeds are our own Eucomis comosa hybrids - parent plants have a mixture of green or deep maroon foliage, with many shades of flower colour. Some of the resultng seedlings will no doubt be quite unusual.
Rosa glauca Seeds
1x seed packet containing 10x Rosa glauca seeds.
Rosa glauca is one of my personal favourite rose species. It makes superb glaucus blue-green leaves and is an especially beautiful plant even when not in flower. Arching stems with relatively few thorns produce bright pink flowers - each of these is relatively small at around 4cm, but there are plenty of them, and they have a lovely delicate appearance. Bright red hops are made in early Autumn.
Totally hardy and very easy. Height is up to around 7 feet although it can be kept smaller. Rosa glauca is a superb shrub rose.
Rosa glauca seeds should be sown with a cold stratification - either plant in the autumn / winter, or keep in the fridge for around 4 weeks after sowing.
