Those edible flowers we still have left are also on offer at  £3.00 each

See below.

 

    Canadian Meadow Garlic (allium canadensis) This member of the onion tribe will thrive in sun or part shade, provide leaves for most of the year and tasty white flowers for the early summer.

    Cowslip ( primula veris)  Everyone knows the cowslip once so common in our meadows.  Given the chance it will naturalise in your lawn giving you a good excuse not to mow and the flowers, apart from making a traditional country wine, are great in a spring salad.

    Ladies Leek  (allium cernuum)  This is one for a dry sunny border where it will thrive and spread.  It has fair sized bulbs, provides leaves and has bright pink bell like flowers through most of the summer that are delicious.

    Ramson  (allium ursinum)  Our native wild garlic is at home in a woodland,  it loves the shade where it grows naturally often in large drifts.  It provides lots of large green leaves with a mild garlic flavour from early spring and lovely white flowers in May.

    Three Cornered Leek  (allium triquetrum)  Great for shade, lots of white flowers in spring.  All parts are edible, leaves available late winter early spring, flowers are delicious with a mild garlic flavour.
