Happy faces whatever the weather


Getting out in the garden this Easter? It is cold, too cold for tender bedding plants but there are plants that will stand the chill and keep on smiling. Violas love this weather and there are many varieties and colours to chose from. Pansies of course are equally cold resistant. Double daisies, Forget-me-nots, Wallflowers and the New Senetti are also ideal to keep the colour coming until it's time for the summer bedding.

Yorkshire comes to Stewarts

A UK made product that will stand whatever the weather sends. Some imported pots just don't seem to take our varied weather - Yorkshire flower pots do stand the test - they are fired long and hot to make sure they are tough as can be - the inside of the terracotta turns a bluish colour showing that maximum strength has been reached.
What's more the designs are both attractive and practical. Come and look - both Centres.

Crinum powelli

Now these are not the most inspiring bulbs around but they do turn into the most lovely plants. Sometimes called the outdoor Amaryllis they are easy to grow and give some welcome colour in the late summer and autumn - there are pink and white forms.
