Cyclamen hederifolium is a wonderful little plant for a woodland garden, or open shaded position. These seeds are garden collection from a large population of mostly pink flowered forms, with the occasional white flower mixed in.
For best results soak the seed for 24 hours prior to sowing. Sow onto good quality seed compost and cover with 5-10mm of fine horticultural grit. Germination can take 2 months or so at around 10 degrees C. All Cyclamen seed need darkness for germination, so do not surface sow without the layer of grit.

Arisaema consanguineum Seeds
1x seed packet containing 10x Arisaema consanguineum Seeds
Arisaema consanguineum is a widespread and variable species. Elegant and easy to please, this makes an easy garden plant.
These seeds have been collected from plants here growing in the open garden, and consequently are open pollinated (ie, hybridisation cannot be ruled out). However, no other Arisaema are grown in close proximity to these plants, so cross pollination seems unlikely.
Spathes are greenish in colouration with hints of brown.
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.
Passiflora caerulea Seeds
1x packet of Passiflora caerulea seeds. 10+ fresh seeds.
Passiflora caerulea, the hardy passion flower, is a vigorous semi-evergreen climber. The leaves are lobed, and an attractive deep glossy green. However, it is the flowers that really steal the show! Large, very showy and simply stunning - the exotic-looking blooms are white with blue filaments surrounding the floral parts.
Mature plants are capable of setting bright orange, inedible fruits.
Grow in a sheltered location in rich soil in full sun to light shade. If the top growth is cut back by heavy frosts, it will readily reshoot in the spring.
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.
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.
