  • AGM

  • Caution: TOXIC

  • Evergreen

  • Flowers attract bees

  • Plant for chalk soils

  • Plant for clay soil

Dark green, evergreen leaves give rise to bold heads of bell-shaped, lime green flowers, which are held for many weeks through late winter and into early spring. Easy to grow and useful for difficult places in the garden, as it tolerates dry shade and survives under the canopy of trees where it will gradually naturalise and self-seed. Flowers provide an important nectar source for early flying bees.

Prefers a well-drained soil in full or partial shade. CARE: Harmful if ingested. Handling may cause skin irritation.

Height: 18 - 30 inches / 45 - 75cm

Delivery Options

Our web shop is now open for you to browse and make your selection from. We only send plants out Monday (not Bank Holidays) to Wednesday.

As we care for the plants we sell we deliver them in a way that ensures they have enough to drink and enough protection between our nursery and your home.
