Free: Plant seedlings/rooted cuttings (Stratford E15 4) Gifted A few plant cuttings which have been overwintered. White Valerian. Good for shade. Warning - it does self seed everywhere so pull out unwanted seedlings Euphorbia - two types, one low growing the other forms a tall clump -yellow bracts in spring. Spreads but fairly slowly. Suitable for shade. Verbena bonariensis. Tall with purple flowers in summer. Self seeds. Prefers sun A couple of yucca roots. They will grow slowly in a pot until they're big enough for you to plant out. Warning - when large these are very spiky and need space but do get creamy white flowers in autumn/winter. Cardoon seedheads from last autumn. If you scatter or even plant the seed head new seedlings will grow. When mature a large grey leaved plant which needs space with purple thistle like flowers. Attractive to pollinators.

Free: Outdoor plants and Seeds (Stratford E15 4) Expired I've been sorting out the garden so have a few things to give away. Euphorbia plantlets that I've thinned out. I've also got some Crocosmia corms. They can be planted now for next year - some red, some orange. I've collected seedheads from garden plants so have some Nigella and some Marigold seeds plus a few Welsh poppy. I'm hoping to dig up a goji berry shrub over the weekend if anyone is interested. It is low growing but has arching stems so takes up quite a bit of space. It does get fruit but it's tiny and a bit disappointing. Collection from E15 4JW over the weekend or early next week. Please state when replying what you would like and when you can collect.

Free: Gooseberry Bushes (Stratford E15 4) Gifted 4 mature gooseberry bushes. Have dark red dessert gooseberries that are sweet enough to eat raw when ripe, but good cooked in pies and crumbles. Be warned these have absolutely lethal thorns so no good around children. You need thornproof gloves to handle and pick the fruit. They also need enough space in the garden for them to grow and spread. Prefer them to go together. I will cut them back a bit more for easier transportation.
