Annual cut flower types
1. Sowing under glass and transplanting outdoors: Sow Feb-April into seed trays, blocks or module cell trays at 15-18°C, cover seed (400 seeds/g). Germinates in 7-10 days. Transplant into borders mid May onwards at 25x25cm. Crop will be slightly earlier in unheated tunnel, otherwise around 100 days sowing to flowering. Support to prevent collapse.
2. Direct sowing into open ground: Sow thinly into rows 25cm apart in April. Thin to required spacing. The disadvantage of this method over transplanting is that weed control is less easy.
3. Whole production under glass: This method will provide a late extension to the crop, i.e. into October. Sowing is carried out in June, and the young plants are planted out into suitable prepared soil in glasshouses and beds. Aster Wilt (Fusarium oxysporum callistephi) is the greatest threat to aster production (plants wilt just before flowering); avoid it by rotating the crop (one crop per 7 years) to prevent build-up.
Annual bedding types
Sow February-April, cover seed with vermiculite, germinates in 7-10 days at 18-20°C, prick out into multicell trays after 4-5 weeks. Grow on at 12-15°C. To encourage a compact habit, growth regulators can be used, according to the manufacturers’ recommendations. Sowing to flowering 14 weeks. 450 seeds per gram (sow 5g for 1000 plants). Drench compost with a suitable fungicide to prevent wilt disease.
Alpinus (Perennial):
Sow April-June, germinates in around 2-4 weeks at 15-20°C, cover seed with vermiculite. 700 seeds per gram, 5g for 1,000 plants.

Geranium F1 Falcon Orange (GER040)
New for 2026
Exciting and innovative pollen-free self-cleaning series. The lack of pollen means no seed is set and therefore there are no seed head spikes to remove as you would with conventional varieties to encourage further flowering. With Falcon the inflorescence spontaneously falls off after flowering and further flowers are produced. In addition to this self cleaning trait the inflorescence lasts more than 7 days longer and the plants produce 20% more flower than convential varieties. Cultivation methods are the same as conventional varieties. Sowing to flowering 14 - 16 weeks. Plants are well branched and compact 25cm in height without inflorescence, 35cm with inflorescence. Good tolerance of direct sun and partial shade.
Pelargonium' Tender perennial usually treated as annual. Approximately 220 seeds per gram.
Variety selection depends on final use. Multi-headed types such as Multibloom are especially good for early pack sales. For pots and bedding, Mavericks and Horizons are hard to beat. Ivy-leafed types (Tornado and Summer Showers) are a fast-growing alternative to cutting-raised types. Where cost is an issue, the newer F2 types such as Cabaret offer an alternative to the F1 varieties.
Sow December-February, or earlier (October) to overwinter cool and flower as early as April. For sales in May, sow early to mid January. Cover with vermiculite A fungicide drench at sowing can help reduce the risk of Pythium disease.
Germination is rapid (4-6 days) at 21-23°C, keep constant compost temperature, and do not allow the moisture level in the compost to drop too low, otherwise germination will occur in flushes. Prick out after 4 weeks into packs or pots, grow on at around 15°C - takes 13-15 weeks from sowing to flower depending on the variety.
Always provide adequate moisture levels to maintain active growth, but be careful not to over-water as plants, especially if tightly packed, will be prone to Botrytis attacks, and because of this it is preferable to water earlier in the day, so plants can dry off before night time.
Cycocel (growth regulator) can be used to ensure a compact habit.

Always provide adequate moisture levels to maintain active growth, but be careful not to over-water as plants, especially if tightly packed, will be prone to Botrytis attacks, and because of this it is preferable to water earlier in the day, so plants can dry off before night time.

Geranium F1 Falcon Scarlet (GER044)
New for 2026
Exciting and innovative pollen-free self-cleaning series. The lack of pollen means no seed is set and therefore there are no seed head spikes to remove as you would with conventional varieties to encourage further flowering. With Falcon the inflorescence spontaneously falls off after flowering and further flowers are produced. In addition to this self cleaning trait the inflorescence lasts more than 7 days longer and the plants produce 20% more flower than convential varieties. Cultivation methods are the same as conventional varieties. Sowing to flowering 14 - 16 weeks. Plants are well branched and compact 25cm in height without inflorescence, 35cm with inflorescence. Good tolerance of direct sun and partial shade.
Pelargonium' Tender perennial usually treated as annual. Approximately 220 seeds per gram.
Variety selection depends on final use. Multi-headed types such as Multibloom are especially good for early pack sales. For pots and bedding, Mavericks and Horizons are hard to beat. Ivy-leafed types (Tornado and Summer Showers) are a fast-growing alternative to cutting-raised types. Where cost is an issue, the newer F2 types such as Cabaret offer an alternative to the F1 varieties.
Sow December-February, or earlier (October) to overwinter cool and flower as early as April. For sales in May, sow early to mid January. Cover with vermiculite A fungicide drench at sowing can help reduce the risk of Pythium disease.

Lisianthus F1 Alissa II Apricot (pellets) (LIS030P)
New for 2026
Group 2, double flowers in a delicate apricot shade with fringed petal edges. Sturdy stems. Well respected cut flower variety.
Cut Flower Technical Information:
• Grow under protection.
• Surface sow on moist growing media, sufficient moisture is required to break pellets.
• Light is required for germination.
• Germination temperature 20oC (pre-cooling at 10oC of the sown moistened tray in the dark for 3 weeks can increase the germination rate and promote a more uniform emergence).
• Ensure good air circulation at all stages.
• Growing on temperature 18-25oC, high night temperatures can induce rosette (induced resting stage) problems.
• Avoid low light levels, supplementary lighting is often required.
• Transplant when seedlings have 4 true leaves, the root system is sensitive so do not allow seedlings to become root bound and care should be taken not to damage the root system at the transplant stage.
• Planting density 64-86/m2 spacing can vary depending on whether the crop is to be grown as a single stem crop or pinched for multi-stems.
• Support wires and good ventilation are required.
Groups: Lisianthus are split into groups to allow the grower to select the most appropriate for their growing conditions because flowering is initiated by:
1. Temperature (higher temperatures increase flower initiation)
2. Light Intensity (higher light intensity increase flower initiation)
3. Day Length (long days increase flower initiation)
Selecting the correct group means that sufficient stem length is reached before flowering is initiated.
• Group 1 - bred for flowering winter to early spring
• Group 2 – bred for flowering late spring to early summer
• Group 3 – bred for flowering high summer
• Group 4 – bred for flowering late summer to early autumn
• Grow under protection.

Lobelia Palace Blue with Eye (multi-pellet) (LOB344P)
New for 2026
Palace is an early flowering upright series. Compact plant habit. Great for pots, baskets and borders. 12cm
Annual varieties:
Sow January onwards on compost surface, takes 10-14 days at 21°C. Unless sown direct into final sales container (at around 10 seeds per station), prick out tufts of seedlings after 5-6 weeks into 6 or 12-pack trays. Seed can also be broadcast over cell trays. Sowing to flowering around 16 weeks. 25,000 seeds per gram.
Please note white lobelia varieties contain a small proportion of blue flowers.
It is necessary to observe the most scrupulous glasshouse hygiene especially in propagation areas. It is also important to be ever vigilant for any sign of disease at all stages of propagation, especially with earlier sowings where susceptibility to disease seems more prevalent, and to take prompt remedial action at the first sign of infection.
Sell in: 9-packs and baskets.
End Use: Borders and containers.
Perennial varieties:
3-4 weeks at 18-22°C; sow June-July to overwinter, or January-February to flower as an annual. Sow on compost surface, do not exclude light.

Standard salad crop for bunching; relatively low maintenance, and some varieties are also suitable for overwintering for early lifting. Suitable for fresh market and prepack use.
240-360 seeds per gram. Germinates 5-30°C. Sow March-April for Spring crop, overwintering type July-August, pickling type mid February-March. Seed rate 15-20kg per hectare, at a population of 65-70 per metre row length.
Bulbing onions:
A popular crop - long storage lives make for a good continuity of supply. Also popular for plant sales and competition growing.
240-360 seeds per gram. Germinates between 5 and 30°C, sowing date mid February-March, Japanese (overwintering) types second or third week in August. Seed rate 4-5kg per hectare, 2.5-10 x 40-60cm spacing.
The advantages of growing onions from sets (immature bulbs), rather than from seed, are that there is: shorter time to maturity, less sensitivity to soil types and a lower incidence of pest and disease.
Approx. 180-200 bulbs per kilo of sets. Space 10cm (in row) x 25cm (between rows). Plant so that the tip of the bulb is just visible above the soil. Best results achieved from planting mid March to mid April. Planting into cold, wet ground can cause bolting so do not plant too early. Heat treatments are used to kill the flower embryo this prevents bolting in early plantings.

Pansy F1 Atlas Black (PAN100)
New for 2026
A unique black colour. Great for combining with bright colours. Height 18cm.
The higher cost of the F1 hybrids may be justified interms of uniformity, speed of flowering, clear flower colours and overall garden performance. In general, the larger flowered varieties tend to flower slightly later, and are especially suitable for late Spring and Summer flowering, as flower size tends to reduce as temperatures increase.
Seed count approx. 700 per gram.
Sow the seed into trays or plugs, cover lightly with vermiculite, and keep the compost moist. Germinate at 18-20°C, shading to avoid excessive temperatures which can depress germination. Germination should be apparent in about 7-10 days.
After 4-5 weeks, prick out into 6-packs or 8cm pots. Use a slow-release fertilizer or commence liquid feeding after 2-3 weeks.
For early Spring sales, it is necessary to harden off the plants prior to sale, by gradually reducing the temperatures.
Pansies are very susceptible to stretching where temperatures are high for a significant period of time. Where reasonably low temperatures (i.e. temperatures not above 14°C) cannot be guaranteed, then growth retardant chemicals should be considered, virtually all are suitable for use on pansies, subject to the manufacturers’ guidelines. Side effects may include a reduction in flower and leaf size.

Grandifloras produce fewer, but larger, flowers than the multifloras.However, flower size is not the only difference between Grandifloras and Multifloras. Multifloras generally grow faster, have more branches and flowers, hence providing more masses of colour. Other differences are smaller, thinner leaves, and flowers are usually not as ruffled or fringed. They also have greater disease resistance and weather tolerance.

Potato Acoustic (2.5Kg pack) (VPT038N)
New for 2026
A high yielding second early variety that has shown strong resistance to blight. Produces round, pale skinned tubers. When lifted early the texture is waxy making the tubers ideal for salads and boiling. Later in the season the texture is more floury making the tubers ideal for chips, baking, mashing and roasting.
Our seed potatoes are available for delivery around mid December or mid January, please specify your preferred delivery period when ordering.
Our seed potatoes are available for delivery around mid December or mid January, please specify your preferred delivery period when ordering.
Potatoes remain one of the most popular and productive crops grown by amateur and professional alike, and continue to be a staple part of most diets.
Potatoes can be grown in almost any soil type, and are ideal for ‘cleaning up’ previously uncropped land. Potatoes can also be grown in containers.
Potato types:
First Earlies: chitting essential; plant mid to late March at a depth of 10cm, spaced 30cm in row and 45cm between rows; harvest as ‘new’ potatoes in June and July when the first flowers appear.
Second Earlies: chitting essential; plant early to mid April, space as per First Earlies; harvest as ‘new’ potatoes in July and August when the first flowers appear.
Salad: treat as per First Earlies.
Maincrop: chitting beneficial but not essential; plant mid to late April at a depth of 10cm, spaced 38cm in row and 68cm between rows; harvest between August and October when the foliage dies back; can be stored.
Cultivation terms:
Chitting: when delivered lay tubers out in tray with rose end (most eyes) uppermost. Keep in frost free, light room until sprouts form (normally after 6 weeks).
Earthing-up: when the haulm (foliage) is approximately 20cm tall draw up soil around stem to form a flat ridge. Earthing-up improves drainage and growing environment for the plant giving a much improved yield. Earthing-up is also essential for reducing greening.
All our tubers are produced in Scotland and are certified by DEFRA as reaching the high quality standards required to be classified as 'Certified Seed Potatoes'.
Please note that due to marketing and trade agreements not all varieties of potato can be shipped outside of the UK, please contact us for further details.

Sunflower F1 Pro Cut Red (SUN84)
New for 2026
Deep burgundy red with dark centre. It gives a great return by having a high preportion of usable plants per square metre. The post harvest performance is very reliable. Excellent for cutting be it in mass commercial production or in the border at home. Very uniform to come into flower. 120-180cm.
Pot Plant Varieties
Sow Spring/Summer, direct into 10-15cm pot. Rapid growth, so requires feeding with each watering. Sell with main bud in flower, and lateral buds developing.
Cut Flower Varieties
Sow April-mid June, direct into the flowering position. Row width depends on variety (up to 40cm for largest varieties); spacing between plants around 12-15cm. Lightly cover seeds, and keep moist. Germination optimum 20°C, minimum 5°C. From sowing to first cutting is approximately 60 days in mid Summer - plants flower July-September. Denser plantings or excess nitrogen can lead to smaller flowerheads with less robust stems. Cut flowers just before first ray petals open. Treatment of stems with holding solution can prolong vase life. Seed count varies greatly from one variety to another.
Pollen-free Varieties
Pollen-free types can be sown under glass September to March, and outdoors April to August. Sow directly, cover with soil and maintain temperature around 10°C. Approx. 10 days after emergence, thin out to leave the best seedlings, spaced at around 10-12cm in each direction. High density production suppresses the production of sideshoots. Minimum night temperature 8°C, with a maximum of 25°C in the daytime. Provide little or no fertilizer, and water sparingly.
