World of opportunit­y with seeds to select

-

The Plant World Seeds offers have always been really popular – two free seed packets with my exclusive voucher code. Plant World Seeds will send you a packet of Agapanthus Headbourne Hybrids (worth £2.95) and runner bean Lady Di (£1.85) – if you place any order on its website, no matter how small, together worth £4.80.

Agapanthus Headbourne Hybrids (A. praecox) have huge true blue globular heads that flower freely on stout stems above robust clumps of strap-shaped leaves.

This virtually hardy variety forms thick establishe­d clumps which improve over the years and impress all who visit the Plant World Seeds gardens in Devon. However, unless you live right on the coast, you might be better off planting them in pots to overwinter in a cool greenhouse.

They grow to 60cm tall and the packet contains about 50 seeds.

Runner bean Lady Di bears long, slim, stringless and fleshy pods and tolerates heat well. They give a heavy crop of tender delicious dark green pods over a very long season and received the RHS 1999 Award of Garden Merit.

You can sow indoors, or outside after the last frost, using a cane structure or wigwam to support plants. Sow in rows 1-2” deep. Keep well watered and feed weekly.

To claim your seeds, when you get to the payment stage, fill in the promotion code box with SUND10, then the two packets will be automatica­lly added to your order free of charge.
