Very, very rarely available, seeds of this exciting plant produce vigorous and erect black raspberry plants, which are versatile enough to be grown almost anywhere. The fruits have a unique colour with large, almost purple-black fruits full of anthocyanins, which are good for your health, and also have a special distinct 'perfumed' taste. They are less tart than blackberries, which they superficially resemble, and this makes them better for eating fresh, although they also make good jams. Black raspberries are the first raspberries to ripen in the spring - with a very concentrated period of ripeness - and can be harvested in two or three passes. This particular variety has attractive, blush-white canes and is less susceptible to cane diseases and root death than others types. We regret that we have obtained just a few fertile seeds this year, hence the extremely low packet count. ... Learn More

This new gem from our ongoing breeding programme possesses a full hand of aces! The seeds, collected individually as they ripen, should produce unique, enormous, hardy perennial plants which make strong stout stems, almost trunks, in their second year. Plant them out as small plants, they will not thrive in a small pot, and it is essential they are given room to grow unhindered in an open position, when they will spread out into a solid dome of branches clad in evergreen leaves. In the following late winter to early spring, (and ours flower earlier than all other perennial erysimums we grow,) they will produce an amazing, long-lasting display of fragrant flowers. They are predominantly orange, deeper-veined in red, but you will invariably discover plants with other colour shades. One of the distant parents was 'Erysimum Bowles' Mauve', but this new strain is far more vigorous, and being seedlings they are virus-free. ... Learn More
