Our Feedback
Nu Mex Garnet is a fantastic pepper which is a "must have" for foodies. It makes a really deep flavoured paprika which is so popular with the family we will have to grow more next year. Its flavour used as a sweet pepper is outstanding and adds a new dimension to sweet pepper dishes. Easy to grow and a good cropper.

Mole Plant

Euphorbia lathyris

So called because these are known to have the property of deterring moles where planted.
Commonly known as Caper Spurge.
Moles are said not to like the scent exuded by the roots into the soil, or the taste it gives to worms

Supplied as a plant grown in a 7cm pot.

Available from APPROXIMATELY late March / early April 2020

1 or more £2.60GBP each. Group & quantity discounts

Commonly known as Caper Spurge, their use as a mole deterrent has been known of for many years. Amazingly there has been no formal research on this purported property, though we have to say that from our own experience they do indeed work!

It is thought that the roots exude a scent into the soil that the moles do not like (and may also taint the flavour of worms making them unpalatable) - and so the moles relocate elsewhere.

The plant itself is a highly ornamental architectural plant with erect stems of glaucous-green long thin leaves.

Biennial, but will self seed.
Grows to approximately 4 feet (120 cm) tall.
Plant at 10 feet (3 metre) spacings for best effect.
All parts of the plant, including the seeds and roots are poisonous. Handling may cause skin irritation as the plant produces latex.
While poisonous to humans and most livestock, goats sometimes eat it and are immune to the toxin. However, the toxin can be passed through the goat's milk.
