VISCARIA OCULATA 'BLUE ANGEL'
Possibly the world’s only catalogue selling this year’s fresh seeds!
The last mild winter was kind to Plant World, with plant sales here
breaking all previous records, so not everyone is concreting over their
plots! This was further helped by the fact that much of our old
dilapidated nursery area had been demolished, making way for new
easy-to-use waist-height sales tables, and comprehensive coloured
information boards for every one of the countless unusual plants sold
here. With one of the largest number of seeds offered in the world, our
website continues to expand, presently offering more than three
thousand different items, many of them exclusive to ourselves, so if you
have never yet visited it please give it a try. Exciting plant trips to The
Himalayas, Patagonia and Crete wound up the year.
Some of our new discoveries....

Cosmos atrosanguineus - Rich, almost-black,
chocolate-scented flowers vary in colour, size
and habit. Probably the first ever seed offering.
Sorry, only one packet per customer.
Viscaria 'Blue Angel' - The "Blue Campion" a
rare and fantastic dwarf cottage garden plant,
with masses of wide-open, large, two-tone mid
blue flowers smothering it.
Dierama 'Pink Fairies' - Our most spectacular
new dwarf hybrid has short stems carrying
heavy sprays of large, pendulous, brightest pink
bells in spring.
Penstemon confertus - This rare species
bears densely crowded spikes of a true lemonyellow, making it probably the only genuinely
yellow Penstemon.
Aubrieta 'Snowdrift' - This is possibly the
first ever seed offering of this rare pure white
form which makes dense cushions studded with
creamy white flowers.
Echium 'Red Rocket' - This back-cross of E.
wildpretii with "Pink Fountain" results in an
incredible dense column of strawberry-red
flowers above a rosette of grey narrow leaves.

As I approach 70 and Tessa 60, we
finally decided to give up running
marathons for worthy causes. In April
this year my dear younger brother
Derek died suddenly after two painful
years of treatment for Non Hodgkins
Lymphoma. So we decided to enter the
2015 Great North Run half marathon to
raise funds for the Lymphoma
Association and although we had little
time to collect funds, we have sent this
organisation a fair pile of cheques. Our
grand total for the last 14 yearly runs for
different charities now totals just over
£40,000. Thank you to all who donated!

How To Sow Your Seeds
Ç Sow all seeds as soon as you receive them unless
otherwise advised on the packet.
Ç Use sterile compost. We recommend John Innes.
Ç Sow seed thinly and cover to about twice the
depth of the seed size with fine grit or coarse
sand.
Ç Do remember mousetraps and slug pellets. (Note:
Please be careful if you have children or pets).
Ç Sow cold-germinating seeds in a cold frame or
unheated greenhouse.
Ç Do be patient. Some seedlings appear in a few
days whilst others may take several months, or
even a year or more. DO NOT throw the seed tray
away!
Ç Store warm-germinating seed in a fridge and sow
in March or April in a heated greenhouse or
propagator or in a well-lit spot on a window sill.
Ç Do not leave seedlings in a seed tray for too long.
They often simply stop growing.
Have you discovered
something new? A new
Meconopsis perhaps?!
Please let us know if anything new,
unusual or variegated appears in
your garden. And do keep writing to
us if you have any suggestions or
advice, as we are always pleased to
hear how you are doing. And thanks
for buying and growing our seeds!
