Thank you for my order which was received today.
I would like to congratulate you on both the speedy and efficient way in which my order was dealt with and the quality and excellent value for money in respect of the live plants ordered (tree lupins).
Over the last 30 years or so I have ordered plants from a large number of plant suppliers. However, none come anywhere near the quality of your plants in terms of their healthiness, robustness and readiness for planting-on.
Many thanks

A Dutch yellow variety of shallot that produces large bulbs with a lovely golden brown skin.
Whilst their flavour is mild enough for them to be used raw in salads, they are also wonderful in cooking - and of course pickling!
With its excellent resistance to bolting and good keeping qualities this heavy-yielding variety really is hard to beat.
- Set out 6-8" (15-20 cm) apart in rows 8" (20 cm).
- Take out a drill approximately 1" (2.5 cm) deep and push into the bottom of the drill (pointed side up) before covering with soil, leaving the tops just showing.
- Alternatively, take out shallow holes with a dibber and pop in - again leaving the tops just showing.
- Top Tips
- Recently planted sets may need to be protected with netting or similar to prevent birds pulling them out of the soil.
- Keep weed-free at all times.
- Avoid over-watering, but water thoroughly in warm dry spells.
