Description
1x seed packet containing 10x Allium cernuum seeds.
Allium cernuum is a real stunner of an Allium. Relatively short to around 30cm in height, it makes bright purple clusters of gently drooping flowers held above bright green leaves. Unlike many Alliums, the leaves remain in good condition throughout the year.
Fully hardy and non-invasive. Allium cernuum can tolerate a variety of soil types and positions, and appears to be well adapted to hot and dry soils as well as more forgiving conditions.
These seeds have been harvested from the cultivar ‘Hidcote’.

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.
