Price per 10x seeds of Arisaema ‘formoguineum’ Datunshan.
This material was introduced into cultivation by Pascal Bruggeman. Originally collected from Taiwan, where both Arisaema formosanum and Arisaema consanguineum are present. This plant exhibits a confusing combination of features from both species, hence the nickname ‘formoguineum’ (not an accepted species name!). It is perhaps a natural hybrid, or more likely, simply part of the endless variation to be found within this part of the Arisaema genus (Section Sinarisaema). Whatever the taxonomy of this plant is, it is a beautiful Arisaema with a radial leaf divided into numerous hanging leaflets and a narrow and elegantly striped spathe.
Collected on Datunshan / Mount Daton before the parking area.
Please note – the photo shows a very similar clone of ‘formoguineum’.

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.
Euphorbia mellifera Seeds
1x seed packet containing 10+ Euphorbia mellifera seeds.
Euphorbia mellifera originates from the island of Madeira, where it grows in the cloud forests high up in the central mountains. It is easily grown in the UK. but does best in slighly milder regions, where it can be a vigorous shrub.
This highly desirable shrub has bright green leaves topped with heads of strongly honey scented flowers, the scent of which can be detected some distance away. Lovely!
Sow the seeds onto a good quality seed compost and lightly cover. Germination can be erratic, but is usually at a good rate. Keep moist and at 10 - 20 degrees. Seed can be sown at any time of the year.

Francoa sonchifolia is endemic to Chile. Making clumps of lovely evergreen leaves which colour up well in the Autumn, tall and long lasting flower spikes appear in summer with pale pink petals with darker splashes. For some reason, this is not grown anywhere near as much as it should be. Fully hardy in the UK and an excellent and easy choice for a splash of colour.

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.
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.
