White Lysmachia roots (Morden SM4)
Promised
You will have to trust me on this one that the roots I have dug up will grow. It’s a lovely plant and it’s 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. They die down and come up in the spring. As you can see, it is dormant at the moment. Ready to plant right away.

Small clump of Golden Marjoram herb (Morden SM4)
Gifted
I have taken up a small clump that is overcrowding one of my other plants. I hope somebody can make use of it, please grow in full sun if possible and they like poor soil. It can of course be used in cooking and the bees love the flowers. Plant straight in the ground. It is dormant at the moment so it is an ideal time to plant.

Broad Leaf Thyme Caribbean (Morden SM4)
Expired
It is called several different names. This is a very unusual plant and it will NOT overwinter in this country. However if you take cuttings which I do and keep the small one going in the winter. I plant it out in the summer and it will grow quite large. In a pot. Just take off a piece and put it in a glass of water until it roots. It can be grown indoors in a sunny place Always grow Herbs in full sun. It can be used in exactly the same way as the normal Thyme. This has been potted today so it must be allowed to fill the pot with roots before potting on. Don't overwater. Keep inside

All this pretty little lady wants is a space to live , they can be planted right away and will thrive for you. Just cut it down the end of the year. It will be up next year. The pictures are in my own garden. ready to plant just pop it in. Tall and light and airy, a lot of gardeners love this plant because it will tower above everything and produce very pretty purple flowers that bees and butterflies alike love. I cut mine down at the end of the year but then it will have produced lots of seeds and seed around.

Creeping phlox blue (Morden SM4)
Gifted
Here we have a very beautiful Creeping Phlox . It is new to me this year so I dont know how it will perform. It flowers in april and may. It will grow in sun or semi shade and will cover the ground and also the weeds. As you can see , it's only a cutting but it's a great time to plant to build up roots over the winter. Low growing suitable for a rockery or ground cover.

Red Salvia or Hot Lips cutting (Morden SM4)
Gifted
She is only a baby but has big intentions. I love these easy to grow plants that prefer poor soil in the sun. Grow them in the shade and they won't flower. YOU MUST WAIT UNTIL THE ROOTS FILL THE POT OR YOU WILL LOSE IT. Put it in a pot for this year and plant it out next year. I am not sure if this is Hot Lips or Red lost the tag. Either are fab. The other pics are mine in the garden . I am happy to include any other plants if they are not already promised. Plenty of verbena left. They grow fine in pots.

Hardy Pink Geranium (Morden SM4)
Gifted
Hardy pink Geranium measures about a metre by metre when it’s fully grown. It will come up every year and has pink flowers as shown in pics. The slugs don’t seem to touch it so it’s a very good plant. Ready to plant out. I cut it right down after flowering and then you may get another flush. They are very good plants to put in between roses or to fill out your borders that are very reliable.

Four baby Alpine Strawberry plants (Morden SM4)
Gifted
Very cute mini strawberries, I would personally grow them in a hanging basket or pot where you can pick them and they are not pray to birds or slugs. PLEASE REMEMBER THESE ARE SEEDLINGS AND THE REASON I DO THIS IS TO START THINGS OFF FOR PEOPLE SO THEY CAN CARRY ON LOOKING AFTER THEM. IF YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM, THEY WILL COME UP EVERY YEAR. You can plant them in a basket in the fibre pots the roots will grow through. I am happy to include other plants if not promised.

Loquat tree seedling (Morden SM4)
Gifted
Here we have a very tropical looking plant which is very easy to grow. The one in the pot is the one that I have in my own garden. I grow it because it looks very tropical and grows quite quickly. The seedling in the pot must be kept there until the roots fill the pot and then you can pot it into a larger pot. if you pot it too soon, you will lose it. I have only just potted this this morning into the size that you see in the picture. You will never get fruit on this tree because it fruits in winter in Spain or tropical countries. I leave mine out in the winter and it survives just fine.

Aster plant (Morden SM4)
Gifted
I found a couple of tiny Asters whilst weeding the other day. They may look a little bit tiny but they will transplant. They are quite tough. They are approximately a metre tall and will pretty much grow anywhere. I grow them but pull up when they travel too far. I use them as cut flowers.

Meadowsweet seedling attracts bees (Morden SM4)
Gifted
This is one of my favourite plants I just love it, it’s much prefers a damp position I have no idea if it will grow in a dry one. It is tall and grows to about 5 feet and is about a metre across. Plumes of fluffy white flowers adorn it in June - September. It is a herb and has its uses but I have no idea how to use it. The seedling has been out all winter and is out now. It’s ok to plant now if you keep it watered. It will recede in the winter.

Spirea Douglasii Cutting (Morden SM4)
Gifted
Very easy to grow shrub that actually prefers moist ground but I think will grow pretty much grow anywhere. Spirea Douglasii grows 4-6 feet eventually. Feathery pink flowers ideal for shrub or hedges border. It is deciduous so will lose its leaves in the winter and come back in the spring. This is a small cutting and really the roots should be allowed to fill the pot before planting.
