Erythronium ‘Harvington Sunshine’ X

Erythronium 'Harvington Sunshine' Twelve Nunns

Erythronium ‘Harvington Sunshine’ is a bulbous perennial which grows up to 40cm in height.  This is our own selection by Hugh Nunn in Harvington, created from a cross of E. oregonum x tuolumnense in 2004.  Its flowers are a stunning citrus yellow, with fresh, bright, large green leaves. ‘Harvington Sunshine’  is a very vigorous, clump forming and tall growing Erythronium.

Erythronium ‘Harvington Sunshine’ flowers from late March into April. Their leaves die back in June and the bulbs become dormant over the summer. The best time to buy and plant Erythronium bulbs is in July/August/September, because they will root down in the autumn while the soil is still warm.  The attractive glossy leaves start to emerge towards the end of February. 

Please note:  We send these to you as dormant, freshly lifted, flowering size bulbs from July through to September  ready for potting up or planting directly into the garden. 

The species and cultivars of Erythronium that we offer are all selected because they are good garden plants.  They grow well in dappled shade and the bulbs should be kept damp and not dried out. 

Our collection has taken many years to develop. It takes at least 5 years to grow a flowering sized bulb from seed and propagation by division is slow. 

For Erythronium  ‘Harvington Sunshine’ planting advice see our Erythronium Planting Advice page.

Our Erythronium range has been reviewed in The Telegraph and provides further information and advise which is well worth reading:-

Our selection of Roscoea includes four with the prefix ‘Harvington‘.  These are a set of distinctive plants bred by Hugh Nunn in the Vale of Evesham and selected for their beauty, vigour and garden worthiness.  Several have been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit (AGM) in recognition of these characteristics.

They have also featured in the RHS publication ‘The Garden’ (January 2016). 

https://www.rhs.org.uk/about-the-rhs/publications/the-garden 

Roscoea are robust, herbaceous perennials in the ginger family.  They are suitable for the front of borders, in a rock garden or grown in a container.  With orchid-like flowers in the summer they can be found in colours ranging from white and cream through pinks, brick reds and purples.  They have tuberous, fleshy roots (similar in appearance to dahlia) that become dormant in late autumn, with strap shaped leaves from April onwards.  Some appearing above ground as late as June in the case of Roscoea ‘Red Gurkha’.  They are hardy throughout the British Isles. 

Roscoea grow well in light, dappled shade.  They grow in any moist, free draining soil.  They are frost hardy in the garden when planted at the right depth (10-15cm below surface).  They can also be grown successfully in pots and containers where some frost protection is recommended during severe frosts. 

We send out flowering-sized tubers (similar to dahlia). Water well after planting and as the plant establishes.  Ensure that they don’t suffer from drought in the summer or waterlogging in the winter.

Paeonia mlokosewitchii (1 litre pot)

paeonia-mlokosewitchii-peony-molly-the-witch

Paeonia mlokosewitchii , also known as Peony ‘Molly the Witch’, is an unique, beautiful and much sort after plant. It produces delightful lemon-yellow single flowers with golden anthers, along with generous divided green foliage. A clump-forming, hardy herbaceous perennial, it can grow up to 60 cm in height, and is one of the earliest Paeonias to flower, usually in April. 

It grows naturally in light woodland in the Caucasus Mountains and is therefore tolerant of light shade. However, in England, it seems to do well in almost full sun, although it prefers a moist, well-drained soil. 

We sell our Paeonias to you in a 1 litre pot. This will provide you with a strong, leafy and well-rooted plant that has been propagated for at least 4 years. This ensures it will flower in a couple of years after planting, and once established and left undisturbed, it will continue to produce beautiful clumps of yellow flower cups for years to come.
