1x seed packet containing 10x Aloiampelos striatula seeds
Aloiampelos striatula (previously known under the name Aloe striatula) is an impressive South African species, remarkable for its general toughness and ability to withstand cool summers and frosty winters.
Tough woody stems carry untoothed, succulent leaves and topped by bright yellow flowers on mature plants. Forming a good sized clump over time, this is an excellent plant for a sunny but sheltered position. Drought resistant and easy to grow.
This has taken -6 here in Devon without any trouble on numerous occasions. We have it sited in a bright and sunny West facing spot, although it does have some shelter from nearby plants. Reports indicate that it will return from the base in the event that the top growth is damaged during a particularly cold winter.

Scilla latifolia Seeds
1x seed packed containing 10x seeds of Scilla latifolia.
A stunningly beautiful species, Scilla latifolia stopped me in my tracks when I first encountered it whilst walking in the mountains of La Gomera. I have been searching for seeds ever since, and am therefore very pleased to have found a source of cultivated seeds and to offer them here for the first time.
Found in the Canary Islands and Morocco, this makes a stout rosette of lush leaves topped with a large flower spike of intense purple / blue flowers. With a long flowering season, the flowers are a real show-stopper.
Cultivation is easy, but frost free conditions are needed. Sow the seeds in regular seed compost and keep at around 20 degrees.
Zantedeschia jucunda Seeds
1x seed packet containing 10 seeds of Zantedeschia jucunda.
Zantedeschia jucunda, commonly known as the 'Yellow Arum Lily', is a superb species of Arum Lily from the Sekhukuneland mountains in the North East of South Africa. The true species is not common - this plant was originally introduced into cultivation by the late Rod and Rachel Saunders of Silverhill Seeds of South Africa.
Making bright yellow urn-shaped flowers, this is an especially beautiful Arum Lily. Fully hardy in an unheated greenhouse, we have not tested it outside unprotected yet, however, it should be hardy in a normal UK winter provided that the soil is not too wet for the colder months.
Zantedeschia jucunda seeds germinate readily - soak the seeds for 24 hours and sow into a regular seed potting mix. Gentle bottom heat aids germination.
