Countless star-shaped lipstick-red flowers open over a very long season into late autumn on bushy, spreading plants. A new and very rare flower, it was only discovered as recently as 2007 in the remote jungles of Brazil.

This gorgeous species was under threat of extinction, with just 14 wild plants left in its native country. ... Learn More

These seeds have been collected from the queen of all dates, the famous, luscious, and very expensive Medjool. These large, soft, sweet fruits will only fruit in the ground in hotter countries, although the smaller specimens make attractive potted plants for a warm courtyard or conservatory. All true edible date palm trees are desert plants, originally from the Middle East, and where they are native they prefer to get 20 to 40 inches of rain per year in the winter, with summers preferably being hot and dry with low humidity. These seeds have been cleaned and stratified and are ready to plant ... Learn More

Upright fans of broad, robust, spear-like, grey-green leaves, glaucous on the reverse, just seem to explode out of the soil. Tubular, deepest red flowers open on strong upright stems in summer. Few plants offer such dramatic form or presence, and they offer a unique contrast to most plants that can be grown in the temperate garden, tolerating any soil, but being happiest in one that is moist, rich and free-draining. Found throughout New Zealand, Phormium was one of the first plants to be discovered when Captain Cook landed in 1773. ... Learn More

The Manila Tamarind, or Madras Thorn, is a rugged yet graceful tree native to Central and South America, now naturalized across tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Its spreading, umbrella-shaped canopy is supported by a trunk adorned with rough, grayish bark. The small, bipinnate leaves lend a soft, feathery texture to the tree, which is often complemented by clusters of greenish-white, fragrant flowers during the blooming season. These blossoms are a magnet for pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The tree’s standout feature, however, is its twisted, spiraling pods, which e ... Learn More

This quaint and beautiful oddity has been with us since medieval times. In place of the normally insignificant flowers, are neat posies of bracts constructed just like expanding emerald green rose flowers. Another 'expert baffler' and it makes a long-lived cut flower too! ... Learn More

This is a fabulous garden plant discovered here with bright blue flowers above dark purple foliage that deepens in bright sunshine. Our original seed was collected at altitude in Japan where it is already accepted as one of the largest flowered gems of the race, but in 1991, in one tray of seedlings, we were excited to see just one plant with darker foliage which was especially notable in spring when it developed a purple rosette. Subsequent generations retained this feature, a proportion being darker leaved with a few lighter. This new colour break in polemoniums makes this an extremely valu ... Learn More

Usually a pale green to yellow when ripe, this amazing fruit is much larger than a grapefruit, with sweet flesh and thick spongy rind. By far the largest citrus in the world, the pummelo can reach 12" in diameter. Similar in appearance to a large grapefruit, it is native to South and Southeast Asia and is a natural citrus fruit, not a hybrid, and is indeed one of the original citrus species from which the rest of cultivated citrus were produced by hybridisation. The pummelo tree itself bears most attractive white flowers and generally has a somewhat crooked trunk and low, irregular branches. ... Learn More

The Pongam Tree, or Indian Beech, is a majestic evergreen or semi-deciduous tree native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. It features a dense, spreading canopy of glossy, pinnate leaves that offer ample shade, making it a popular choice for streetscapes, gardens, and agroforestry systems. During late spring and early summer, the tree produces clusters of pale pink, lavender, or white pea-shaped flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding to its ecological value. Its flattened, brown seed pods contain oil-rich seeds that are highly valued for biodiesel pr ... Learn More
