Trillium kurabayashii (1L Pot)

trillium-kurabayashii

Trillium kurabayashii produces three large, upright dark purple-red flowers which are borne directly upon its distinctively mottled leaves. It flowers early from late March through April and is grown from seed. A clump-forming perennial, our strain of the Californian species originated at the Royal Horticultural Society’s garden at Rosemoor, Devon.  

We offer our full range of Trilliums for despatch in the dormant season which is from the end of July until November. They are sent as freshly lifted, healthy Trillium rhizomes with live roots in moist packing material.  Our rhizomes are at least 4 years old.  Given the right situation and soil they should flower after 1 year of planting.  

Trilliums enjoy light shade with well-drained soil. The varieties we offer make good garden plants in the UK. To find out more about planting your Trillium kurabayashii, please see our Trillium Planting Advice sheet.  

From December through to Spring, we offer a limited range of our Trilliums as pot plants.  

Our Trilliums are propagated and grown by Twelve Nunns Nursery, a specialist nursery based in South Lincolnshire. The parent plants have been either split to produce more plants or hand-pollinated to produce seeds and grown on.  None of the plants we supply are from wild stock. Our Trilliums have been featured in a couple of publications as follows: –

Roscoea ‘McBeath’s Pink’ AGM

roscoea-mcbeaths-pink

Roscoea ‘McBeath’s Pink’ is an outstanding early Roscoea, flowering in May with bold, orchid-like pink flowers and reddish-purple stems. It is a vigorous, clump-forming perennial. Named after Mr. Ron McBeath the plantsman, it was outstanding in the Royal Horticultural Society’s Roscoea Trial, where it was awarded an Award of Garden Merit  

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. 

To find out more about planting your Roscoea ‘McBeath’s Pink’ tuber please see our Roscoea Planting Advice page. 

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).

Helleborus x hybridus ‘Harvington Single Pink Speckled’ (9cm Pot)

helleborus-hybridus-harvington-single-pink-speckled

Helleborus x hybridus ‘Harvington Single Pink Speckled’ is just one variety of Harvington Hellebores® grown by Twelve Nunns. Harvington Hellebores® are excellent, easy to grow garden plants and flower at that time of year when there may be little or no other floral colour. They are winter flowering, frost hardy perennials, that reliably come back year after year, flowering from December through to the end of March. Their dark green, glossy, evergreen foliage also provides year-round interest.
