Kia ora koutou,
It’s the time of year again when we can pass on the surplus from our modest nursery. Stop by this Saturday the 20th of December 10 – 1pm.
This year we have a small selection of fruiting plants, plus a few herbaceous flowering perennials and grasses.
Here’s a list of the main plants available – I will have missed a few bits and pieces….
- 3 varieties of grapes: Niagara, Schuyler and Iona
- Blood peach seedlings, true to type and often precocious from year 3
- Rocoto Manzano chillis, a half-hardy perennial we grow outside
- Golden raspberry
- Sanguisorba menziesii (in full bloom in the orchard now)
- Salvia nemorosa ‘Violet Queen’ (the Caradonna and Amethyst strains are in full bloom)
- Calamagrostis brachytricha, a stunning deciduous clumping grass with dazzling, arching, late season seed heads and coppery golden autumn foliage.
- Microlaena avenacea aka bush rice grass, NZ native bunching grass for shade
- A few Agastache, Eryngium, Echinacea…
Entry is via 834 George Street. No pre-sales. Cash appreciated, bank transfer also. BYO bag/box.
If I don’t see you on the day, happy solstice, gardening and holidays!
Rory
