This chard makes a stunning leafy green with stems of orange and magenta . ‘Magenta Sunset’ has its name from the showy coloration that ranges from bright pink over crimson to deep burgundy contrasting the dark green leaves typically growing to a height of 30-60 cm. It is versatile that adds ornamental and culinary value to gardens and container growing. It can be harvested throughout the growing season and makes a delicious and nutritious addition to salads, soups, and stir-fries.
Our favourite way of eating it is as a side dish steamed with melted butter and a pinch of pepper and salt.

Celosia – Vintage Rose (Organic)
£2.50 Add to basketCelosia – Vintage Rose (Organic)
Most beautiful tones of silvery blush pink and cream colours, great for fresh and dried bouquets. What a delight having these plumes growing in the garden. Very elegant as a cut flower and it goes in almost any bouquet with their silvery cream, warm pink and peachy palette against dark green foliage.
Celosia keeps its colours when dried. This variety lives up to its name when hung and dry, the colours fade ever so slightly and get even more of a vintage feel to them.

Lettuce – Red Salad Bowl (Organic)
£1.98 Add to basketLettuce – Red Salad Bowl (Organic)
Fast growing lettuce with long, burgundy red and deeply cut leaves.. This lettuce is known for its excellent taste and resistance to bolt. It has a non-heading growth habit with sweet, succulent oakleaf type leaves. We love it for its tenderness and cheerfulness in salads. As the name suggests one lettuce is usually enough to fill a whole salad bowl.
Best grown in spring, early summer and fall. However it can be grown in the hotter summer months too as it’s slow to bolt.
‘Red Salad Bowl’ was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit (AGM) in 1993.

California poppy – Appleblossom Chiffon (Organic)
£2.30 Add to basketCalifornia poppy – Appleblossom Chiffon (Organic)
A stunning and unique variety producing mainly double flowers of creamy rose and cranberry. This is a new variety for us and we really love it. It’s a real show stopper. It flowers over a very long season, especially if picked or dead-headed. California poppies are drought tolerant so very low maintenance.
If using as a cut flower it acts as both filler and thriller due to its delicate lacy foliage.

Chicory – Puntarelle (SM4.33) (Organic)
£2.50 Add to basketChicory – Puntarelle (SM4.33) (Organic)
An interesting chicory variety grown for its hollow bolting shoots. Unlike other chicory varieties which are grown for their leaves, Puntarelle is grown for its flowering shoots. The young shoots form a ‘head’ at the base of plant and are julienned into thin strips which are then soaked in cold water to removed some of their bitterness. In the water they twist and curl into elegant crisp and crunchy shapes which are then served with a punchy dressing to make a lovely late autumn salad.
Shoots usually appear between mid-October and November.

Lettuce – Devil’s Tongue (Organic)
£1.98 Add to basketLettuce – Devil’s Tongue (Organic)
A dark red spring lettuce with tapered cos-like leaves forming loose heads at maturity. Bred by lettuce breeding wizard Frank Morton, this variety has a very buttery texture and thick leaves.
This is not a pure-line variety, as evidenced by its black and white seeds, but a multiline “landrace” of similar looking (but genetically distinct) sub-lines. Most of our ancestors’ staple crops, their legumes and grains, were also multi-lines. The genetic diversity of these farmer-varieties was the original crop insurance against the vagaries of nature.
