Our Feedback
I’d just like to say how delighted I was with the 10 Lobelia Queen Victoria plants I bought.
My experiences of buying plants through mail-order companies has been regrettable! After each experience I vowed never to do it again... - but where needs must I took another chance and I'm so glad I did!
Because I was only paying £12.00 (plus delivery) for 10 plants, I have to say that I wasn’t exactly expecting a great deal in the way of quality... but how wrong was I! I could not believe how healthy and well established the plants were!
Many thanks,
Pete

Supplied as a pot grown plant approximately1 - 2 feet (30 - 60 cm) tall including pot.
This Product is Available Now.More compact in habit than other varieties of Baby Kiwi, 'Issai' also has the added benefit of being self fertile.
After flowering in June, small green fruits dotted white mature over the Summer ready for harvest late September / October.
Whilst the fruits are fairly small yield can be prolific - with a mature plant producing literally hundreds of fruits, and up to 1000 is not unusual. Smooth skinned, the fruits do not need peeling either.
There has been some, limited research to indicate that even though the Issai is self fertile, having a Weiki can increase yield. This isn't something that we have tried and tested but may well do!
