The life cycle of hardy cyclamen is unusual. It begins in September when dozens of small pink flowers begin to bloom before the leaves emerge. Each flower is on a separate 4 ” stem and looks just like a miniature florist cyclamen flower with gorgeous reflexed petals. The flowers continue to be produced abundantly in succession through out the months of September and October and sometimes for parts of August and November too. They emerge slowly as the flowers are blooming in late September and take several weeks to reach their full size. “Variable” is an understatement to describe their wonderful shapes, patterns, and colors. They can be round to lance-shaped, lobed or entire, serrated or smooth edged, dark green to silver. And the patterns on the leaves are indescribable. They stay green and fresh all winter! Instead of going dormant in the winter like most of our plants, hardy cyclamen goes dormant for a few months during the summer. -

Pansy
The most popular and best loved. It will perform in your garden whether in a container or planted out into the borders etc. Totally Winter hardy. Flowers from end August - next August (if looked after!) Typically the pansies are termed as Winter pansies and will flower through the Winter providing there are plenty of sunny days. They require the sun to initiate flower bud and in the sometimes dreary, dull days that Winter offer they maybe shy to flower. The reward is usually around the end of February onwards the first Spring flush of vibrant colours lift the garden into joy. Unlike a lot of bedding plants, pansy & especially viola are easy to keep looking good providing a few basics are given. Watering is best done in morning, keep drier during the winter months - but at the same time don't let them dry out completely. Feed with a high potash feed such as vitax , once established. If you are time strapped we suggest adding slow release food in the compost at time of planting with Vitax Q4 or Gro-Sure. This should provide enough nutrient for 6 months, but frequency of watering may effect this. De-head regurlarly to keep the plant producing more flowers and for disease prevention. The smaller violas are self-cleaning, ie. de heading not neccessary. Pest & disease problems? If the plants are kept healthy with good watering and de heading & dead leaf removal the plants will be trouble free. Pests. Caterpillars are the main issue. If you are environmentally minded, pick off any you see. However, a spray with systemic insecticide will do the trick. Slugs can often eat the flower buds, leaves & stems so watch out for them. Disease. There can be leaf spot and downy mildew problems. This mainly happens if we get a dull wet Winter. Try to keep plants dry and remove any affected leaves straight away. Preventitive fungicides can work if applied correctly. -

The Elaeagnus Pungens Maculata is a beautiful and colourful, bushy evergreen hedge. It has scaly leaves that are silver in colour, however they soon turn into a mature yet young looking vibrant yellow and green colour. It produces small, scented, white tubular flowers during the autumnal months that are followed by fruit that is small and juicy in the spring. The Elaeagnus Pungens Maculata prefers soil that is either sand, loam, chalk or clay, but must be well drained. It can either be planted in a sunny position or where there is partial shade, and it doesn’t mind whether that is in an exposed or sheltered position. It can grow up to four metres high and between two and a half to four meters wide in two to five years, which is quicker than the rest of its family. On average, it will grow up to one foot a year. It’s best to prune these during the late spring, preferably in either April or May, once it has finished producing its fruit. When it comes to planting the Elaeagnus Pungens Maculata we would suggest to plant it eighteen to twenty-four inches apart from one another. It works really well as an all year privacy hedge thanks to being evergreen. We have a range of Elaeagnus Pungens Maculata plants available in pot form. -
