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 ourPaeoniasto you in a 2 litre pot. This will provide you with a strong, leafy and well-rooted plant that has been propagated for at least 5 years. This ensures it will flower in a couple of years after planting, and once established and left undisturbed, it will continue to produce delicious clumps of yellow flower cups for years to come.

Roscoea ‘Harvington Imperial’ has a highly distinctive brick red flower suffused with purple and strong red stems. This clump forming Roscoea flowers from July through August.
Our selection ofRoscoea 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).
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.

Just had to tell you that I purchased some plants from you about 3 or 4 years ago, one of which was Roscoea Harvington Imperial. It has been flowering for the last 2 months in a 12 inch pot, and is now one of my top plants, and I have had hundreds during my 80 years. I don’t know if you bred this plant, but what an absolute beauty it is. Right outside my garden door, first thing I look at each morning to remove any passed blossoms, and it seems to keep producing more without weakening.
Terry, Hereford
