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.

Picked regularly this will produce an abundant crop of small cucumbers with a great flavour and crunch - ideal in salads or perfect for lunch boxes (school or 'grown-up').
If picked small enough these are also great for pickling, and that 'crunch' we've already mentioned remains.
Both powdery and downy mildew-tolerant, this 'all-female' variety also has excellent resistance to gummosis and cucumber mosaic virus.
Primarily for growing under protection this variety will also fare well in a sheltered spot outside.Being an all-female variety, it is best to remove the male flowers (identified by not having a tiny fruit behind the flower). If male flowers are left on these may pollinate the flowers causing the fruits to become bitter to the taste.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
