Bupleurum is an intriguing and useful annual with flowers like a euphorbia and leaves like a eucalyptus. Ideal for use in vase displays or interplanting with tall
Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Cosimo Red-White’
The earliest flowering cosmos on our trials! Dwarf, bushy plants produce masses of attractive red and white bicolour blooms.
Dianthus amurensis ‘Siberian Blues’
Compact, bushy mounds of bluish evergreen foliage erupt into a sea of mauve-blue flowers in late spring and are the closest yet to a true blue Dianthus. Ideal planted in borders, rockeries and containers, flowering over a long period each summer for many, many years.
Zinnia marylandica ‘Zahara Sunburst’
The first ever red & yellow bicoloured bedding zinnia from seed. Large blooms for a bedding zinnia on dwarf compact and free-flowering plants with outstanding garden performance. Also shows good disease resistance. Stunning towards the front of borders or in containers.
Climbing Bean ‘Monte Cristo’
New breeding has produced this high-yielding variety. Tasty and tender pods, 25cm in length can simply be ‘topped and tailed’ and steamed. Fleshy, bright green pods remain stringless and crisp – even if you’re away for a weekend and not able to harvest your beans for a few days.
Carrot ‘Atomic Red’
A striking coral red-skinned and fleshed variety with 23-25cm (9- 10in) long roots. The rich colour is due to a high level of lycopene, a healthy antioxidant. The colour is more intense and the flavour deepens on cooking, although slicing or grating ‘Atomic Red’ raw in salads adds unique colour and flavour. Strong foliage aids
Swiss Chard ‘Green Wave’
Green Wave’ resembles a perpetual spinach beet, but is more productive and with more slender, milder-tasting stems and leaves, which are delicious in salads and stir fries when young. Use mature leaves in the same way as chard and spinach. Stands in good condition without bolting.
Begonia ‘Pink Showers’

Sweet Pepper ‘Thor’ F1 Hybrid
Long fruits of up to 25cm (10in) in length are produced in large quantities throughout the summer when grown in the greenhouse. Peppers turn a bright red colour as they ripen – try cutting them lengthways and grilling them on the barbeque.
Echinacea x hybrida ‘Magic Box’
One of the most comprehensive mixtures of colours available. Each bloom has been carefully selected and bred by our flower breeders for its stunning form as well as its superior garden performance. The tall colourful flowers look fabulous in borders or in a vase in the house
Sweet Pepper ‘Astor’ F1 Hybrid
Early to set fruit and producing plentiful crops throughout the summer if grown in the greenhouse, Astor is a superb green-turning yellow grilling pepper. The sweet and crisp fruits grow up to 25cm (10in) in length and can also be grown in a sheltered site outdoors.
