Small Pink Japanese anemone cutting (Morden SM4)
Promised
This listing is for a seedling cutting . It can be planted now even thought there is not a huge root ball, It flowers in September. It will pretty much grow anywhere it is not fussy and will spread slowly. It should be okay to plant into nice soft soil, its pretty tough. It may look like a woody root but will grow fine.

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. I have just dug the bits today and it’s okay to just put them straight in the ground and leave them alone.

Meadowsweet seedling attracts bees (Morden SM4)
Promised
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. 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. Just remove the bag and plonk it in

Hardy Pink Geranium seedling (Morden SM4)
Promised
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 and is waiting to burst into growth. Just remove both the pot and bag and plonk in.

Hellebore Small probably purple (Morden SM4)
Gifted
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. I will cut off all flower stems when finished flowering. If you want more you can leave a couple on to self seed. It may be white or pink. Hellebores are so promiscuous.You never know what colour the seedlings will be. This ONE is probably purple.

Saxifraga Limerock (Morden SM4)
Gifted
A very pretty Alpine plant, suitable for a rockery , as you can see by the pictures. It has a small mound form and for this reason growing between rocks it needs to be kept dry. Or very gritty mix.It has been out all winter so is very hardy.

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. It has been out all winter. I would grow it in a pot until it gets bigger. 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 and keep doing it and soon you will have a lovely garden full of plants.

Broad Leaf Thyme (Morden SM4)
Gifted
This is called all kinds of names. It is Caribbean Broadleaf time, Mexican mint and many more. I use it exactly like I would use Thyme. Naturally, you need a little less of it. This is not winter Hardy if you leave it out, you will lose it. I grow mine in a pot which I put out when the frost has gone. It can be easily propagated by just taking off a stem and putting it in a glass of water. I grow a small plant and keep it over the winter and start all over again. I find it’s the best way rather than trying to keep it. Of course you can grow it indoors. Due to non collection it is available again.

I have taken up these roots this morning. You will be getting two roots which you can literally plonk in the garden and it will grow for you. The other pictures are in my garden last year . They make lovely mounds when not in flower and cover the ground. They require no work except cutting down in winter. Want them somewhere else ?just pull a root and put them in.

Little pot Golden Marjoram herb (Morden SM4)
Gifted
I have taken up a bit 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. I wouldn't be without it I love it. Cut it down to the ground in winter.

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 recede back into the ground until next year. Very easy to grow and requires no special treatment. A few seedling bulbs can be planted now. In full sun.

White Lysmachia (Morden SM4)
Promised
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. Ready to plant right away. Just plop it in. Sorry they are smaller but will soon grow. You can dot them around on bare patches. It's ok to split them, trust me they will grow.

Verbena Bonariensis Seedling (Morden SM4)
Gifted
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. It has been out all winter so it is OK to leave it out until you want to plant it

Helenium cutting (Morden SM4)
Gifted
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, it will grow roots over the winter. Don't plant it deeper than the pot level though.

3 Alpine Strawberry plants (Morden SM4)
Gifted
Very cute mini strawberries, THEY MUST NOT BE MOVED UNTIL THE ROOTS ARE FORMED, they do have roots but maybe more would be good 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. I am happy to include other plants if not promised.
