Take a look at our Inyanga Fireballs! 🔥 🥰
Inyanga Fireball or Scadoxus pole-evansii is a native to Zimbabwe. It was only named and discovered by science in 1960! And it makes the most fabulous potted or garden plant for shade to part sun. It grows from a bulb and puts on the most wonderful display of large flower heads across the Christmas period and through summer. Followed by a strong stem which supports gloriously large and lush leaves which grows to approx 1m in height. Easy to grow, and tough too. It is still rare in cultivation and seldomly seen in nurseries. Have you got a spot you could fit one?

Primula ‘Gold Lace’ are bursting forth with their bright little flowers. I love this primula. So dainty and delicate in comparison to the potted colour primulas you usually see.
