The peony collection is also growing and we hope Double Lament Lilium Friso to have sufficient to offer more varieties soon. Things never stand still and one of the consequences of not doing Chelsea is that we no longer need some of the large show plants so this year we are able to offer the evergreen Dianella tasmanica (page 12) with its extraordinary blue berries.

Some of our plants did not enjoy the wonderful summer as much as we did but the Schizostylis were an eye opener.

The main autumn catalogue, comprising our comprehensive range of Daffodils, Tulips, Crocus, bulbous Irises etc., is published in June each year and will continue to be sent out immediately before the Chelsea Flower Show in late May. The garden and nursery are open to view every weekday (9am - 4pm; £2) in aid of the St. Margaret’s Somerset Hospice. We have limited seasonal sales. We are a working mail order nursery but you may collect your orders in season (please give us advanced notice).

Due to the fragility of their stalks we prefer to despatch late in their growing season when they are naturally dying back. All tubers are dug daily for immediate despatch. All Cyclamen require a humus-rich soil that is well drained. They are summer dormant – an annual top dressing of bone meal and leaf mould or composted bark is beneficial. All varieties have distinctive leaves which are very variable and give great interest in the garden, both before and after the flowers appear. Except for (see description) they should be planted with the tops of the tubers one inch below the soil surface. They prefer to be planted as under:
