Sometimes, in the middle of winter, gardeners yearn for a blast of colour out there.... I try to ensure that there is something or other out every month of the year - currently, lots of minature daffodils, and some Helebore (Christmas Rose), which of course are not roses at all. But when perusing those catalogues for temptation in January, I always find something bright and lovely that I haven't got yet. These arrived today - 100 bulbs of Sparaxis, and 5 plantlets of the Helenium
Sparaxis - a bulbous perennial with star shaped flowers of
orange, red, white, yellow and copper on a delicate stem in spring if grown in pots, Late Summer and Autumn if planted direct into borders. 1 foot high. Good for cutting.
Helenium 'Double Trouble'. Late Summer flowering hardy perenial, will grow to 3 feet high
