Some Unusual Plants

been browsing the interent and came accross a USA site with some unusual plants that may be hardy enough for some areas of the UK:




Yucca rostrata Sapphire Skies, Blue Beaked Yucca, Summer-flo-Plant Delights Nursery, Inc.

----------------



Colocasia gigantea Thailand Giant Strain, Super-Sized Elepha-Plant Delights Nursery, Inc.

---------------------------


Canna Phasion, Tropicanna Lily, Summer-flowering, Perennial-Plant Delights Nursery, Inc.

-------------------------------


Syneilesis aconitifolia, Shredded Umbrella Plant, Perennial,-Plant Delights Nursery, Inc.

---------------------
loads more ... check the section of the top 25 plants ... not sure if all these are avail here

 

That colocasia and the canna are wonderful...

 

Canna Tropicanna is readily available here in the UK. It does well in the garden but must be given protection in the winter.

 

There are definitely some worth a go, I ordered some seed for this from the US and they came a few weeks ago;

BlueBell Nursery - BlueBell Nursery - Trees & Shrubs - Franklinia - Franklinia alatamaha

Needs a sheltered position which I have, so nothing ventured nothing gained :thumb:

 

We have bought from Plant Delights before, great service. Although well worth checking out UK sellers too as quite a lot of whatthey sell is available over here.
