Ordered 60 Pearlwort plugs in mid-July as a low maintenance alternative to grass. Packaging and protection was excellent and plugs were in superb condition. I split each plug into 4 and planted directly into the soil which had been well prepared beforehand. The somewhat warmer summer meant more frequent watering to ensure the plugs settled into place. By next summer I anticipate the soil between the stepping stones in the garden to be completely filled with pearlwort. It is planted in direct sun and deeply shaded areas but all are growing and spreading well. Most of the plugs flowered and the spread has been quite amazing. Because of the layout, a lawnmower or strimmer would not fit so an alternative had to be found. Victoriana Nursery provided the perfect solution - a low maintenance grass alternative which also produces small white flowers. Everyone who sees it loves the look and the idea of no real maintenance. Victoriana Nursery has a range of unusual plants so I will definitely be after future purchases and spreading the word to those who are curious or are 'green fingered'. Great value for money. Keep the area weed free as the plants spread and weeds will be a thing of the past.

Supplied as a packet of 10 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.A real novelty both in shape and colour. Just like 'Eight Ball', this produces round fruits that are best eaten when they reach cricket ball proportions - only these are a gorgeous golden yellow in colour. The skin of this variety is very thin, the flesh extremely dense and meaty.
Eat these when around the size of a cricket ball or smaller for a lovely fresh flavour.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
