Turnip Purple Top
This heirloom Turnip will be prized for its deliciously sweet and tender white roots. The turnips are often 100mm and sometimes 150mm across, handsomely blushed with pink to purple at the crown.
Turnip Snowball
Rapid growing white tender roots. A far superior strain to that used in agriculture for stock food.
Turnip Tokyo Cross F1 Hybrid
Early maturing (30-40 days) tangy turnip. Perfect for salads as a cooked vegetable or for an unusual yummy alternative... turnip chips!
Uncinia Uncinata
The blood red colour of this plant forms a stunning clump of fine foliage. With the strong colour it makes an excellent plant to use as a contrast. Prefers full sun and good drainage. Great landscaping plant. Juvenile foliage exhibits deeper shades of red.
Verbena Quartz Bordeaux
Intense, vivid rich-red Quartz Bordeaux is a real show stopper in the garden and in pot displays. Slightly spreading, mounding plants make brilliant beds and trail over the edges of mixed containers. Verbena enjoy hot dry conditions, watering underneath the foliage assists in keeping mildew and other diseases at bay.
Vigna Snail Creeper
Highly perfumed creamy-white flowers spread readily across pergolas or frames. Related to the scarlet runner bean. The flowers resemble curly snail shells hence the common name "Snail Vine". Sometimes called Phaseolus caracalla.
Viola Frizzle Sizzle Mini Mixed
Unique frilly flower form for viola. Great in containers, baskets or in a landscape setting. Frizzle Sizzle is at it's best in early spring or autumn as stronger ruffling occurs in the cool conditions. Best used in the cooler months, will grow in later spring and summer, but the ruffling will be very minimal and the flower size may reduce.
Viola Sorbet Delft Blue F1 Hybrid
The sorbet series is a stand out performer when stacked against any viola. We think violas are a grossly under estimated plant. They are really easy to grow from seed. Within 6 weeks of sowing they are flowering their hearts out. They perform magnificently through autumn and spring and even thrive throughout the coldest, darkest seasons. In addition they have weather (rain and wind) resistance that is just so far superior to pansies.
Viola Sorbet Duet Mix F1 Hybrid
The sorbet series is a stand out performer when stacked against any viola. We think violas are a grossly under estimated plant. They are really easy to grow from seed. Within 6 weeks of sowing they are flowering their hearts out. They perform magnificently through autumn and spring and even thrive throughout the coldest, darkest seasons. In addition they have weather (rain and wind) resistance that is just so far superior to pansies.
Viola Sorbet Marina
A long time favourite of the Sorbet Series. Prolific cute button-faced flowers on a low growing plant. Stands out amazingly in large displays and is perfect for long flowering baskets in the cooler months.
Viola Sorbet Mix F1 Hybrid
Over 17 colours in this mix of bright, cute violas. The sorbet series is a stand out performer when stacked against any viola. We think violas are a grossly under estimated plant.

Viola Sorbet Tiger Eyes Yellow F1 Hybrid
Unusual but interesting pattern of many black stripes upon yellow petals. Early flowering, nice tidy plant habit. Something different for your winter baskets.
Viola White with Purple Wing F1 Hybrid
Elegant, bright white viola with a rich yellow eye, flanked by purple wings. A really unusual colour break and sure to be a winner! Perfect for baskets.
Viscaria Angel Rose
Charming for beds, border and wild gardens. Very easy to grow. Intense, brilliant-rose flowers produced in profusion all summer long.
Water Spinach
A popular vegetable in Asian cuisine, Water Spinach grows very readily in ideal environments. As the Botanical name Ipomoea aquatica suggests, this plant likes to grow in wet soggy soil, which can be achieved in pots with minimal or no drainage holes. Both the leaves and hollow stems are edible, its mild taste is like a cross between spinach and watercress.
Watercress
Watercress grows in streams ditches springs and fast-flowing waters. It has been used as a salad plant since at least Roman times and the first records of it being grown commercially date back to 1750 in Germany. Besides being used in salads it can be put in sandwiches used in soups and oriental stir-fry dishes. It has a fresh, clean peppery taste.
Watermelon Sugar Belle
One of our most popular watermelons is back! For abundant, early maturing sweet watermelons choose Sugar Belle. Round, dark-skinned fruit that has bright red flesh... mouth wateringly delicious.  Sugar Belle's breeding allows for an improved disease resistance and vigorous growth. Suitable for warm climate areas only.
White Kaka Beak
Lush, green, wide-spreading shrub that produces stunning large white flowers which hang in clusters of 15-20 blooms in spring. Flowers are shaped like a parrots beak, hence the name. Caution: snails can strip masses of leaves overnight!

Wildflower Bee Attracting Mix [Standard Packet]
Beautiful, practical and beneficial. This mix will provide a nice wildflower display for you to admire along with pollen and nectar for our honey bees.

Wildflower Butterfly Mix

Beautiful, beneficial and practical. This wildflower mix will provide a nice wildflower display and provide nectar for the butterflies and bees.
Wildflower Half Tall Mix
Plant heights between 40-50cm. All our wildflower blends are custom made from separate varieties. As a by product of supplying many commercial vineyards with blends, we have made this not so tall an option available to you. Still a wide range of colours and species that will flower all spring and summer. Provides a lot of nectar and pollen sources for the beneficial insects.
Wildflower Mix
A glorious mix of wildflowers. There are 40-odd varieties in this packet that are predominantly spring and summer flowering annuals. You are best to re-sow or over-sow with fresh seeds each year. Guaranteed to bring colour and interest wherever spread. Coverage is based on 1/2 gram per square meter. Height of the flowers vary between 60cm-90cm. It is advisable to prepare the ground (till or soften the soil) and water regularly to begin with. There is a false belief that you can just throw wildflower seeds on hard ground and they will grow! Preparing the ground so that the seed can settle into the soil also reduces the risk of rodents and birds enjoying a free feed!
