| Description | Pelargonium x hortorum ‘Big Red' Geranium
The ‘BIG’ series of Pelargoniums will bring bright impact to your garden! Large, doubled blooms present themselves atop mid-green, compact foliage, setting a neat, yet exciting scene for most of the year. Give your garden a cottage feel by using baskets to hang them from lattice, retaining walls, fences or pergolas. The thick, mid-green foliage keeps a semi-trailing habit which means they will cascade in hanging baskets, or stay low-growing in the garden.
6″ pot size. | 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.
