White Lysmachia (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, it’s the one with the white spikes. Mine is grown in full sun. They die down and come up in the spring. Ready to plant right away.

Small clump Golden Marjoram herb (Morden SM4)
Gifted
I have taken up a tiny 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 an ideal time to plant. There is an added bonus of a tiny poppy. I wouldn't be without it I love it. Cut it down to the ground in winter.

Helenium cutting (Morden SM4)
Promised
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 it 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. Its ok to plant now I am always happy to include any other plants if not promised.

Cutting of Persicaria Red Dragon (Morden SM4)
Gifted
You will be getting the cutting in the pot as shown. I have potted them on today. Mine is growing in shade the picture shows it in my garden right now. I love this plant it’s a great foil for other plants. It is just a seedling but probably can be planted in straight away if you are very careful. It will come up every year and recede in the winter. Happy to include other plants if not promised.

Ice Plant Delosperma yellow (Morden SM4)
Gifted
I decided to try and grow these plants from seed which were quite difficult to raise but nevertheless here she is all grown up and ready to plant. If you then want to propagate them for next year all you need to do is take a branch off. Let it dry out and seal at the end and then plant it in a pot and overwinter. Ice plants which are groundcover plants and prefer a free draining stony type soil. They are perennial plants that come up each year. I lost mine last year because it was so wet.

Darmera Peltata cutting damp spots (Morden SM4)
Gifted
I dug this piece up quite by accident, so it’s not something that I normally list , so it’s a one off. As you can see the leaves are huge sometimes up to 50 cm, it’s a very striking plant and the pink flowers arrive in spring on naked stems. Then come the leaves. It really is suitable for somewhere damp although I must say I have it in my garden in semi sun but then my soil is very good. if you had a pond area, it’s great for that on the edges.

Lily of the Valley cutting (Morden SM4)
Promised
Everybody should know what Lily of The Valley is. It spreads very slowly and starts appearing in spring, then it recedes until next year. You can keep it in the pot until it grows more roots or VERY CAREFULLY PLANT IT. Its quite tough so should be ok.

Cutting of Solomon’s Seal (Morden SM4)
I normally put in small cuttings and forget about them and mark where they are. It flowers around May June time and comes up each year and recedes in the winter. It’s ready to plant now and prefers semi shade/ shade but will grow in the sun and spread slowly. I have a large clump so be patient. It recedes slowly after flowering. Then I cut it back.

Hellebore Seedlings white / purple (Morden SM4)

Hellebores are long living plants they go on for years providing the conditions are right. Mine are grown in the garden dotted around in sun and shade. I cut the tatty leaves off. Before the flowers come I cut off all the leaves. They have just finished flowering take off all flowering stems. These photos are from my garden . If you are a real gardener , you will know about HELLEBORE, You will have to be a very, very patient gardener to grow these on. They are slow growing. These seedlings maybe white or purple . Please leave them in the flowerpot until they are bigger.And then you can separate them.

Sedum Spurium dragons blood cutting (Morden SM4)
Gifted
Isn't that a great name for such a small plant Lovely little plant that I would grow in a rockery or it can be grown at the front of a border as ground cover. Dry soil is appreciated. Pink flowers and I think it is a dark or pale pink (that's no help at all is it?) Just plonk the cutting in the ground. Shallow rooting sorry it is so small but will soon spread.

Geranium Sanguineum (Morden SM4)
Gifted
A very pretty low growing geranium seedling. It can be planted right away it’s it’s pink with a tiny stripe inside. Mine is just starting to come into bloom just now. Geraniums are easy to grow and will pretty much settle down anywhere. I grow mine all around the garden and cut them down to the base in winter.

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 and either plant it straight in the ground or wait until it grows more roots.

2 seedling tomatoes (Morden SM4)

The variety is 100’s & 1000’s The pot is not great but will last this year. I never like to throw plants away when I’m potting up. They are much better growing in hanging basket or pot and don’t do well in the ground. They are small grape sized tomatoes. The second picture is my own hanging basket, last year please plant in full sun and feed if you can.
