Thank you. Very fast and safe delivery of samphire plants with a personal service. Plants are healthy and I have no doubt that I will buy off you again.

Supplied as compost block-grown plants.
This Product is Available Now.So named because the orange-red tubular flowers with their ashen end look like tiny lit cigars.
Whilst perennial, it is frost tender so either needs to be grown in the garden as an annual where it will flower almost continually until the first frosts knock it down - or lifted from the garden and grown on as a houseplant for the winter where it will continue to flower and please.
In the garden border it can easily produce a shrubby plant up to 3 feet (90 cm) tall within a couple of months. In a container or pot it can be pruned and maintained at around 8" (20 cm) tall or more.
Can easily be propagated from cuttings or by saving seed.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
