Free: Tiny woodland plant Woodruff (Morden SM4) Promised 8h - It is a very pretty little plant that is suitable for planting perhaps under a tree. It will spread gradually, it flowers in spring I have mine in the garden. It flowers and comes up each spring. It is amongst my plants. The other pictures are in my garden to give you an idea what it looks like. It's a tiny thing I dug it up when removing another plant.

Free: Alchemilla Mollis cutting (Morden SM4) Gifted 16h - It can be planted directly in the ground. Please remember that all my cuttings small and will take time to grow, Just put them in and forget about them. The yellow one is a very pretty plant called Alchemilla Mollis. A pretty cottage garden plant which has yellow flowers, great for flower arranging. Please ignore the long pink flower spike because that’s not part of the plant. It is very easy to grow and requires no special effort. I cut my down each year.

Free: Geum Rivale cutting (Morden SM4) 1d - This little lady loves the damp although mine is living in the sun. It's easy to grow and is an unusual Geum not blousy like other varieties although I love them too. The pics show the plant and mine is also shown in the pics.

Free: Star of Bethlehem Ornithogalum (Morden SM4) Promised 1d - This is a bulb that flowers in spring an early source of pollen for bees. The flowers that come open in the sun. It is an underrated wild flower and is quick to establish. The star shaped flowers are brilliant white and bloom in April or May. It will then receive the back into the ground until next year. Very easy to grow and requires no special treatment. Plant as soon as the ground is workable. The pics are in my garden now. I have a few bulbs if you want to plant them for next year. In full sun.

Free: Tiny Tomato Seedling (Morden SM4) Gifted 2d - Not sure what variety . It is quite small because the weather has been so cold this year. If somebody would like to keep it indoors and keep it until it grows bigger.You re welcome to it. It will die if you put up out now, maybe May. I have so many seeds so I will have to give them away whilst small for people to grow on.

Free: Pink Hardy Geranium seedling (Morden SM4) Gifted 3d - Here I have a hardy pink geranium plant that is herbaceous, which means they come up each year. The first photo is in my garden last year which grows to about a metre by a metre. This plant has been out all year and as you can see it’s happy and is not affected by frost. It can be planted right now as soon as the soil is good in your garden. It may be a small looking thing now but it has big aspirations. Hardy Geraniums are great fillers and do well planted amongst other plants like roses or spaces that are difficult. I wouldn’t be without them. All I do to these plants every year it’s just cut them down at the end of the summer and they grow basically on their own with no real attendance.

Free: Two Cuttings of White Lysmachia (Morden SM4) 3d - It’s a lovely plant and its no trouble at all, the slugs and snails seem to ignore it. It will spread slowly and come up every year. All I do is cut it down at the end of the year when it seems to be finishing. The first picture is in my garden, it’s the one with the white spikes. Mine is grown in full sun. I have cut the foliage back because they need to recover when planted. They will die down and come up in the spring. Either plant the whole bag or remove the plants. They can be planted singly if you wish

Free: Wild Violets (Morden SM4) Gifted 3d - They happily spread in a woodland type area under trees. They flower in spring. You can keep them in the pots until they grow a bit, they have only been lifted this morning or plant them out right away. They should be okay they’re quite tough. There is a few in the pot.

Free: Helenium Seedling (Morden SM4) Gifted 5d - This is a very easy to grow plant. The flowers shown are in my own garden last August and the slugs don’t seem to bother them which is great. As you can see they make clumps I only ever had one plant which I have divided up over the years. I do what they call the Chelsea chop in May. This means I literally take the shears to it and reduce t by half. In another part of the garden I’ll let it grow taller. An easy to grow a plant and all it needs is to be cut down at the end of the season. It will pop up again next year.

Free: Cutting of Houttuynia Cordata (Morden SM4) Gifted 6d - As you can see by the photographs she is a groundcover , she travels quickly. If you do need a space covered under a tree or something like that it’s worthwhile planting it. I am happy to include any plants you would like

Free: Courgette seedling (Morden SM4) Gifted 8d - You only need one plant to feed a family. They grow like weeds and produce loads of courgettes. Naturally, you need to keep it inside until it is warm enough to plant or you will lose it. A sunny place and rich soil.

Free: Cardoon Cynara (Morden SM4) Gifted 8d - If you want a statement plant this is it. It can reach 5 feet in height and requires a moist well-drained soil. It will come back every year and will flower from August until September. Even when not in flower the foliage is stunning. Of course I have grown seedlings which will need to be kept in until the weather is warmer and then you can plant it out . The bees absolutely love it and of course it can be eaten. If you’re not familiar it’s a globe artichoke. I do have a few they are not all this size, but if you want to fill the space it’s perfect. Only small ones left.
