Price per 5x Dichelostemma ida-maia bulbs.
Dichelostemma ida-maia, the Firecracker Plant, is a hardy bulb from Northern California and Oregon, where is grows in along forest margins and clearings. Growing from a small corm / bulb, thin stems carry a very bright and showy umbel of cylindrical flowers, each of which is a striking pinky red colour with upturned ends encasing white flowering parts. Flowering occurs from May – July.
Easily grown. Dichelostemma ida-maia prefers a warm sunny position with good drainage. It does enjoy a dryish summer rest after flowering, hence the need for drainage.

Sedum compressum
Price per 1x Sedum compressum plant growing in a 7cm pot.
Sedum compressum is a low growing succulent that has been hardy here in Devon for many years. It makes rosettes of grey-green leaves, rather like a very small aeonium, at the end of a small branching stem. Leaves can turn a lovely reddish colour in very bright sunlight or during cold weather. In spring, clusters of yellow flowers are produced in abundance.
An easy, low growing succulent that doesn't look like it should be hardy, but yet is!
