HelzBelz Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Having a garden tidy up and moving on some plants and seedlings that are surplus to requirements...1. Echinops ritro ?1.50 each SORRY NOW GONEThese are in their second year. Put them in the ground and they'll reward you with tall stems of blue pom-pom flowers that will return year after year. One plant will produce many flowers. Loved by bees. They'll look great this year but next year once they've settled in they will be amazing! https://www.sarahraven.com/flowers/seeds/new_seeds/echinops_ritro.htm2. Hostas ?2.50 each - RESERVEDNot sure of variety but maybe fortunei? Lovely springy green foliage and later in the years spikes of lilac flowers. https://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/hosta-fortunei-var-albopicta/classid.2000015658/\3. Eryngium Blue Hobbit - ?1 each - RESERVEDA short, compact type of erynigium / sea holly. Bright blue flowers. Front of the border / patio container type of plants.https://www.thompson-morgan.com/p/eryngium-planum-blue-hobbit/t58362TM4. Cobaea scandens 'purple' (cup and saucer plants) - ?1 each - RESERVEDFabulous exotic looking sun-loving climber. Granted these little seedlings don't look so impressive now but once they get going the vines will rocket away over pergolas, walls and fences. The flowers/bracts are fab, the tendrils the plant uses to climb are cool and in a really mild winter the plant may live to see another year. When you first plant it you may want to protect it from slugs/snails and give it a little sticky support. I'd hold off planting for a couple of weeks until things warm up (mid-May?). The flowers can be 'floated' in a a shallow bowl if you like that sort of thing. https://www.sarahraven.com/flowers/seeds/annuals/cobaea_scandens_purple.htmCOLLECTIONFrom Forest Hill. Evenings and weekends preferred. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/190178-garden-plants-all-reserved-awaiting-collection/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelzBelz Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Some plants successfully rehomed but I still have a good number of cup and saucer plants and hostas. I've updated the original listing.
