Annual, sow in March, do not cover. Germinates in 4-6 days at 20-22 deg C. Not frost hardy. Plug crop time 5-6 weeks. Transplant to finish 9-11 weeks. Long day plant. Keep on the dry side. Sell in 10-15cm pots. End use: baskets, containers.
Oriental & Unusual Komatsuna F1 Shoganyan (VOR102)
New for 2018..
Also known as Mustard Spinach. Komatsuna has a flavour that is often described as a mix of mustard and cabbage with a hint of spinach. Uniform, early maturing hybrid with dark green leaves, that are juicy and tender. 475sds/gram.
Oriental vegetables are becoming an important market for the producer as an increasingly culturally diverse population has led to the wider culinary use of such products. Speciality leaves are now an established sector of the salads market. The colour, texture, shape and flavour of these products adds interest to mixed salad packs and baby leaf mixes.
Osteospermum Akila Grand Canyon Mixed (OST10)
New for 2018..
This new mix is easy to produce with no pinching or cool period required. A very colourfull mix it contains yellows, rose reds, purple, lavender creams and whites. Grows best in full sun. 41-51 cm
Annual, sow Sept-Oct or Jan, germinates in 7-10 days at 18°C, prick out into 9cm pots, grow on at 12-15°C. Use growth retardant spray 50-60 days after sowing to encourage a compact habit (according to manufacturers’ guidelines). Plants require cool temperatures to encourage flowering. 80 seeds per gram.
Pansy F1 Inspire Lemon (PAF381)
New for 2018..
This modern series stays compact and resists stretching even under low light conditions. The colours are well matched across the series, and Inspire is equally suited to Autumn and Spring seeds.
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.
Sow June for sales Aug-Sept.
Sow July for sales Sept-Oct.
Sow Aug for sales Nov-Feb.
Sow Oct-Dec for sales March.
Sow Jan for sales in April.

Petunia F1 Grandi Blue (pellets) (PEG10P)
New for 2018..
The Grandi series has been developed over the last few years for performance in the plug, pack and garden. It is an excellent series of Grandiflora Petunias that is well matched in flowering times and plant habit.
Annual, sow on the compost surface from February-April, germinates in 7-10 days at 20°C. Prick out after 4 weeks into packs or pots as required. Grow on at 12-15°C; growth regulators can be used, according to the manufacturers’ guidelines. Sowing to flowering takes around 12 weeks. 9,000 seeds per gram.
Note-Star and Picotee types: Care must be taken when growing these types to avoid high temperatures, high light levels and high soil fertility, as this will increase the proportion of white. Conversely low temperatures, low light and low soil fertility will result in a decrease in the proportion of white.
Sell in: 6-packs (basket & ground cover varieties in 9-10cm pots).
End Use: Baskets, containers and borders.
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.

Annual, sow on the compost surface from February-April, germinates in 7-10 days at 20°C. Prick out after 4 weeks into packs or pots as required. Grow on at 12-15°C; growth regulators can be used, according to the manufacturers’ guidelines. Sowing to flowering takes around 12 weeks. 9,000 seeds per gram.
Note-Star and Picotee types: Care must be taken when growing these types to avoid high temperatures, high light levels and high soil fertility, as this will increase the proportion of white. Conversely low temperatures, low light and low soil fertility will result in a decrease in the proportion of white.
Sell in: 6-packs (basket & ground cover varieties in 9-10cm pots).
End Use: Baskets, containers and borders.
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.

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.
Note-Star and Picotee types: Care must be taken when growing these types to avoid high temperatures, high light levels and high soil fertility, as this will increase the proportion of white. Conversely low temperatures, low light and low soil fertility will result in a decrease in the proportion of white.

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 Waooh! (SUN29)
New for 2018..
Great garden performer, given the RHS garden merit award. We tested this multi headed variety and we were really impressed by the number of flowers produced. Great for borders and larger containers. 60cm.
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.

Sweetcorn F1 Lark (VSW084)
New for 2018..
A mid-season variety that produces cobs typically 20-21cm in length. Bright, golden kernels with exceptional and consistent eating qualities. 18 rows of grains per cob, with an average of 1.16 cobs per plant.
This is a versatile, popular crop for fresh market sales, P.Y.O., prepack and processing. Works very well as a roadside sales item. Sweetcorn is also suitable for use as young plant sales for the home gardener.
Germinates at between 18 and 30°C. Sow April to June, spacing 20-30cm x 75-95cm, drilling rate 45,000-65,000 per hectare (18,000-26,000 per acre). Harvest August to October.
There are five main classifications for sweetcorn varieties:
1) Normal sugar type (su): standard sweetcorn performance and flavour.
2) Sugar enhanced (se): sweeter, more tender kernel than standard types, also has longer shelf-life.
3) Super sweet (sh2): higher levels of complex sugars with a slower conversion to starch, resulting in a sweeter flavour and long shelf-life.
4) Extra tender (sh2): recent developments in breeding have produced grains with a tender pericarp combined with a very sweet taste.
5) SuperSeedWare (sh2): a naturally developed gene that dramatically improves the performance of the seed, especially with earlier sowings into wetter or colder soil. Other benefits include stronger, more uniform growth and enhanced flavour.
Note: sh2 varieties should be grown separately from other types to avoid cross pollination which can cause a reduction in quality and flavour. None of our sweetcorn varieties are genetically modified.
