This week's Germination

Today the club germinated some seeds for the spring, and hopefully the shamlocks will grow by Saint Patrick's Day! Our Triumvrate decides to grow avacado pulps next week. More ideas soon to come!

Descriptions are from www.thompson-morgan.com

Aquilegia caerulea
Description:
Possibly the most beautiful Aquilegia of all. With glorious light to deep blue flowers 2-3in across sometimes fetching bi-coloured with white. An excellent border perennial, grand for cutting, in bloom for several weeks and will grow in sun or light shade. Flowers late spring/early summer.

Height: 30-35cm (12-14in)

ALyssum Snow Crystals
Description:Distinctly larger flowers than "Snowcloth" and "Carpet of Snow" which while still small, in their overall combined effect make for a whiter, cleaner appearance. Very neat, compact and uniform in growth.

Height: 8-10cm (3-4in)

Dephinium Hybrida "White Swan"
Description:
From T&M's own breeding comes this amazing dwarf delphinium. Pure white, tightly packed, short spikes, held well above deep green foliage, on dwarf, compact plants. Being early flowering, makes this ideal for planting in the front of a border or in containers.

Height: 30-38cm (12-15in)

Shamrocks
Description:
Great for little window displays! A Saint Patrick's Day Classic!
