Free: Yellow Tree Peony Seedling (Morden SM4) Gifted Photographs are from my own garden, she does grow to about 10 feet. She flowers in spring the same time as the other tree peonies. Little baby but she is quite robust. Sun or semi shade. You MUST wait until the roots fill the pot. Please don't transfer it before or you will damage the taproot.

Free: Red Salvia or Cherry Lips cutting (Morden SM4) Promised 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 Cherry 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. They grow fine in pots.

Free: Meadowsweet seedling attracts bees (Morden SM4) This is one of my favourite plants I just love it, it 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. It’s ok to plant now if you keep it watered. It will recede in the winter.

Free: Two Larger Sisyrichium plants (Morden SM4) Gifted These plants like a very dry place in full sun or semi shade. They like quite a gritty soil or free draining. They see very freely, so be sure if you don’t want them to do that to cut off the seed heads when they have finished.

Free: Four Seedlings Sisyrinchium (Morden SM4) Gifted Here we have four seedlings that I have literally potted up today. They prefer dry rocky type places, Maybe suitable for rockery or a garden , but beware , they do seed around , so if you don't want lots of seedlings , then just make sure you cut the heads off when they finish flowering. They flower in spring. Mind you , they are easy enough to pull up and give away.

Free: Small Seedling of Pink Hibiscus (Morden SM4) Gorgeous Hibiscus. Eventually you will have a shrub with maybe pink flowers we have no definitive colour. They were given to me. Sometimes you get a blue one you never know. I prune mine by a third each year. It is happy outside you don't need to bring it in it is very hardy. Do let the roots fill the pot before planting or you will lose it. She is a tiny seedling with big aspirations. As long as you are patient. If you want any other plants I’m happy to add them if not promised.

Free: White Lysmachia (4 seedlings) (Morden SM4) Gifted 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 last year, it’s the one with the white spikes. Mine is grown in full sun. They die down and come up in the spring. Give it a couple of weeks or plant right away, there are four seedlings in the pot. It's fine if you are very careful to separate them.

Free: White Lacecap Hydrangea (Morden SM4) Gifted This is a very pretty hydrangea, I like lacecaps because I think that they are quite delicate. It is not ready to plant. I would grow it in a pot until it gets bigger. Don't transfer into a bigger pot wait a few weeks. Hydrangeas like a semi shady spot, they will grow in the sun as long as they are not baked all day. Cuttings are always worthwhile because put them in and forget about it , keep doing it and soon you will have a lovely garden full of plants. Good luck I am happy to include any other plants that are listed.

Free: Woodruff cutting (Morden SM4) Gifted I love this very pretty woodland plant. It spreads slowly and has wonderful white flowers in spring. I grow amongst my plants but it’s a typical plant to grow under a tree or around some shrubs. It goes away in the winter and comes back again in the spring & will spread slow slowly. Its ok to plant.

Free: Hardy Pink Geranium seedling (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. 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. You can plant now , it is a very tough plant, just plonk it in.

Free: Aster plant seedling (Morden SM4) Gifted I found a Aster whilst weeding today. They are quite tough. They are approximately a metre tall and will pretty much grow anywhere.

Free: Sambucus black beauty shrub cutting (Morden SM4) Gifted This is an extremely beautiful shrub and very large too it is not for a tiny garden. It can grow to 10 feet high and at five foot wide. It has pink flowers which is very stark against the black foliage and followed by black berries. The sunnier place it is in the blacker the leaves will go. Mine is in semi shade. The picture with the pink flowers is from the Internet the other pictures are from my garden. THIS CUTTING HAS ROOTS BUT NEEDS TO GROW A LOT MORE BEFORE PLANTING OR YOU WILL LOSE IT. I reduce mine in the winter to around 3 feet to stop it getting too big. When it is fully grown. Please remember that all my cuttings are small plants and will take time to grow.

Free: Verbena Bonariensis Seedling (Morden SM4) Gifted All this pretty little lady wants is a space to live . Just cut it down the end of the year. It will be up next year. It will seed around so you will a few more next year. The pictures are in my own garden. 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. It has been out all winter so it is OK to leave it out until you want to plant it. Give it a few weeks before planting.
