Friday Finds – 29/08/14
50% Off Potted Perennials
Astrantia – Star of Billion
I’m always happy to find a bargain, especially when it comes to perennials. As some of you may know, I’m not really a bedding plant or annual kind of guy (I’m just too lazy when it comes to sowing, pricking out and growing on EVERY season). Suttons Seeds are currently having a 50% off sale for single potted perennials – it ends on September 1st, so you need to be quick.
Cosmos – Choca Moca
There are loads of goodies on sale, but what about the gorgeous Astrantia – Star of Billion (left) for just £4.49? Alternatively, if you love chocolate, there’s nothing better than Cosmos Mocha Choca; a perennial that has a very sweet sense (it really DOES smell of chocolate – I can vouch for it). It’s available for just £3.99. However, I’ve found they aren’t the hardiest perennial on the block and need some winter protection. With this in mind, you might like to check back on the blog tomorrow for a fantastic giveaway I have coming (hint, hint). Finally, with winter and foliage in mind, the beautiful Phormium ‘Jester’ is also fantastically cheap at £4.99 and adds vivid colour during all months of the year.
Phormium ‘Jester’
Clematis ‘Princess Kate’
New Clematis Variety
I’m a believer that every inch of the garden should be swathed, including walls, fencing and trellising. There’s a beautiful new variety of clematis on the market – ‘Princess Kate’. Available from Taylors Clematis for just £13.99, Princess Kate flowers between August and October, providing a dazzling display right at the end of the summer. It’s suitable for containers and grows in partial shade too – what’s not to love?
Acer – Atropurpureum
Acers With Up to 50% Off
J’adore Acers – though I’m yet to actually buy one. However, this might all be about to change now that Crocus have a sale on. I love Crocus – great plants, good prices (when there’s a discount to be found) and I’ve always found their stock very healthy. They currently have a large sale on their acers, with the cheapest starting at just £14.99 including the beautiful Acer palmatum ‘Atropurpureum’ (left). There’s a total of 11 varieties all priced at under £20, so if you’re grabbing one for yourself,do some early Christmas shopping and get one for a gift too!
There’s a little park for Gardeners World readers too; visit Crocus from the link on the magazine’s official website, and you’ll also get 20% off!!
Up for a challenge? Grow some hibiscus from seed!
Beautiful Hibiscus
I’m celebrating my anniversary with my husband today, and I spent yesterday traipsing around local nurseries looking for a Red Hibiscus as the tropical plant has huge sentimental value for him. I finally found one, but when looking online, I also stumbled across JungleSeeds. They offer a great variety of seeds for purchases – at very affordable prices – so if you’re up for a challenge, then why not grow a hibiscus from scratch? Now, I know I actually went and bought a plant, but I’m sorely tempted to have a go at growing from seed now I’ve seen these!
