6"/14cm pot - Assorted varieties, chosen by our team! | Daucus carota
A slender, purple-skinned carrot with a light cream centre. It's fast-growing and prefers full sun and well-drained soil with lots of organic matter. It has a very sweet flavour and keeps its colour well when cooked. It can be steamed, added to most casserole-type dishes, eaten raw or added to salads. This variety is perfect for juices!
4''/10cm pot | Nerium oleander 'Madoni Grandiflorum' (White Oleander)
Nerium oleander is a bushy, evergreen shrub that grows thickly and quickly in almost any conditions. It has long, slim leaves and bright, star-shaped, open,creamy/white flowers. Its dense bushy fast-growing nature lends itself well to hedging - but ensure you plant rows of the same variety as they have different foliage characteristics.
The Oleander has suffered from poor press over the years and that is a great shame for it is a tough beautiful shrub which should come into to its own in these new drought filled years. The plants easily cope by the seaside, not seeming to be worried with salt laden air; in arid hot conditions, and even where the drainage is poor.
CAUTION: It is poisonous nature, containing glycocytes, which means that animals won't touch it - but it takes large quantities to poison humans - and it tastes so awful you'd have to be determined or raving mad! There are no recorded cases of serious poisoning for humans.

| Content | Fuchsias are delightful flowering perennials that showcase a stunning variety of shapes and sizes. With over 100 species found in nature, most garden varieties are hybrids celebrated for their vibrant blooms. Some types exhibit an upright and bushy growth habit, while others gracefully trail and cascade, making them perfect for hanging baskets.
These plants typically flaunt deep green, heavily veined leaves that are often serrated at the edges and grow in whorls along their stems. Fuchsias bloom predominantly from late spring to early winter, displaying their signature pendulous teardrop flowers. In tropical regions, certain varieties may even bloom year-round. The flowers come in a beautiful array of colors, including red, white, pink, and purple, often featuring striking bi-colored patterns.
When it comes to planting Fuchsias, they thrive in sheltered spots with partial shade, especially where they can catch the gentle morning sun. It's essential to keep them protected from frost and strong winds for optimal growth. | | Nerium oleander 'Madoni Grandiflorum' (White Oleander)
Madoni Grandiflorum prefers full sun but will tolerate some shade. Once established they need no extra watering, surviving through the toughest of droughts and the hottest of summers (it can even cope with reflected heat from buildings), as well as surviving through cold winters and the occasional frost.
