Description
1 x seed packet (10 seeds) Fresh harvest.
A spectacular species of Sauromatum with large ‘Arum’ shaped leaves and a deep purple / maroon inflorescence. Foliage is large and impressive.
Fully hardy, but very late to start into growth in the UK – late July or even August.
Freshly harvested seeds. Sow in any well drained sowing compost. Gentle bottom heat will help speed up germination, but this is still likely to take around 6-8 weeks.

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.
Francoa sonchifolia seeds
1x packet of Francoa sonchifolia seeds. Seeds are very small and each packet will contain a minimum of 25 seeds.
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.
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.
