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 Areca Palm, or Dypsis lutescens (formerly Chrysalidocarpus lutescens), is a great palm for a tropical splash in the summertime on home patios and building entrances in northern climates. It can also thrive indoors, but it takes a lot of light for that to happen, and it’s highly rated for cleaning indoor air. Also known as the Butterfly Palm, because of its arching yellowish-green fronds, and the Party Palm, because it’s widely rented for weddings and parties, this less-expensive cousin of the Kentia Palm is a great choice for a long-term relationship if you can give it great light and keep it warm; otherwise, it’s a cheap date you can flirt with all summer and try another one next year. -

- Position: bright but indirect light
- Soil: these plants do not need to grow in compost, but if potting up, use a specialist orchid compost
- Rate of growth: average
- Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
- Current height: plant approximately 55 cm
- Home care:Keep the compost moist during the warmer months, but in winter you should reduce the amount it gets, and only water them occasionally. Ideally when watering, you should let them stand in a tray of water (or kitchen sink) so they can soak up as much as they like for an hour or two. Afterwards, let the excess water drain away completely. It is always best to give them a a good soak when they get quite dry, rather than watering little and often. Their preference is for soft, tepid water. They love humidity, so a bright kitchen or bathroom would be ideal, and mist the leaves with water occasionally, especially if they are in a heated room. Don't worry if the roots grow outside the pot, in their native environment, they grow in the crooks of branches, and use these aerial roots to absorb water from the air. They do not mind being overcrowded in their pots, so you only need to repot them when the growth starts to suffer. They usually only send up flower spikes once a year, however you may encourage a second flush of flowers to form more quickly if you trim back the stem to just above the first node immediately after they have finished flowering.

Native to coastal parts of Australia, Dicksonia antarctica is a magnificent, slow-growing, evergreen tree-fern (deciduous in colder areas) and one of the easiest to grow. The brown, fibrous ‘stem’ slowly grows taller, crowned by a rosette of beautiful, glossy, deep green fronds up to three metres long – a wonderfully architectural plant. Winter protection essential in all but the mildest areas – wrap the top of the ‘stem’ in fleece and protect the growing point in the crown with straw or similar insulation, and if pot-grown, bring inside or insulate the pot. Water the stem in hot weather; do not water the crown in winter. Site: Sheltered, sheltered coastal Soils: Moist but well-drained, acid to neutral soil Position: Partial shade or dappled shade Season of interest: Most of the year Hardiness: Frost-hardy Height to 13’ (4m) Spread to 13’ (4m)
