Availability time!
It has been a while since I mailed the list, because I know that there is a period in the autumn when most of you just aren't ready to commit for next year, and we are kept busy by the few of you who are. However, that time has passed and you should delay no longer; we have propagated and potted very hard this summer and the list is longer than it ever has been with a huge range to choose from, but it will reduce in length from now on.
You should also peruse the catalogue for some items never make it onto the availability list as the pre-orders exceed what we can propagate, but if you don't ask you definitely will not get! You do not need to wait for the new catalogue as the one you should still have (but I can send another) is the one to use (read what it says on the cover).

Ceratostigma abyssinicum

Abelia engleriana
Abelia engleriana is a hardy form growing about 1.5m like A. grandiflora, but with hairy rather than glossy leaves and soft pink flowers like A. schumannii, without the death wish. However botanists, helpfully, want to lump both A. schumannii and A. engleriana into A. uniflora, but these would then have to have cultivar names as they are distinct. They don't want to go that far, so we are sticking with the names we know.

Phormiums
We are now largely producing our own Phormiums, which means that we have stronger, larger plants, and the price has reduced over the last two years. The winters have not been kind to them, but we have some large plants in the ground which have survived, so they cannot be written off as tender, which some are trying to do.

Azara microphylla
Azara microphylla is a slow-growing, hardy evergreen tree ( we have one about 4m after 20 years) with very small shiny leaves. Its chief attraction is the chocolaty smell from its small inconspicuous yellow flowers which on a still spring day can spread over a considerable distance, causing mayhem among chocoholics. Actually the smell is vanilla, but that's what popular chocolate smells of; (the same problem exists with chocolate flavoured beers, but don't get me started). Although it is attractive in itself, it is a plant for the back of a border.
