Free: Nice clump Golden Marjoram herb (Morden SM4) I have taken up a 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. I wouldn't be without it I love it. Cut it down to the ground in winter. Either divide and replant or plant now in full sun.

Free: Valerian Bee Loving plant seedling (Morden SM4) It is a great time to plant because the soil is still warm and it will grow a root system over the winter. Valerian is classified as a herb and grows 1.5 metres. It comes up every year. It does seed but I cut off the heads before they go to seed. I cut it to the ground after flowering. It is a useful plant and has pretty white flowers. It is a small seedling and it will benefit for a couple more weeks in the pot before planting. The first pic is just to show you the plant in flower. The other pic is in my garden. You will be getting the seedling.

Free: Two Alpine Strawberry plants (Morden SM4) Gifted Very cute mini strawberries, I would personally grow them in a hanging basket or a pot where you can pick them and they are not pray to birds or slugs. THEY GAVE ONLY BEEN POTTED UP TODAY. YOU MUST LET THE ROOTS FILL THE POT. IF NOT YOU WILL LOSE THEM. 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.

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

Free: Not sure Hardy Geranium seedling (Morden SM4) Gifted Here I have a hardy geranium NOT SURE WHAT COLOUR BLUE OR WHITE plant that is herbaceous, which means they come up each year. She is a ground cover and doesn't grow higher than six inches or so. 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. OK to plant straight out water in this weather though.

Free: White Lysmachia two roots (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.

Free: Red mophead Hydrangea Seedling (Morden SM4) Gifted This is a very pretty hydrangea, that changes colour. She is only a seedling and I think it would probably be wise to put her on in a slightly larger pot to let her get larger before you put it in the ground when the roots fill the pot. 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.

Free: Darmera Peltata cutting damp spots (Morden SM4) Gifted I dug this piece up quite because it is in the way of another plant, 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.

Free: 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.

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 on. They are slow growing. The seedling maybe white or purple . Probably white. Happy to add any other plants if not promised.

Free: 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 I am always happy to include any other plants if not promised.

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.
