Crop Report - 9th July 2021
NEW! Glorious Gladioli
-
Perfect for teaming up with the Lilies and sunflowers! We have made the decision to sell the Gladiloli straight from the field so are in bundles of 50 - looking for a big enough box as they are a metre plus!
-
First to crop is yellow and strong pink (YAY!)
NEW! Agapanthus - Blue & White
-
Indoor crop is coming through steadily - will be followed by outdoor in a week or two.
Gypsophila
-
White still steady - pink varieties arrive at the end of July.
Peonies
-
Specialist storage conditions* are used to hold Peonies - we will have some 'northern' late crop in the next couple of weeks. For now though all our growers are sold out.
NEW! Eryngium Variety
-
Eryngium Purple Stars joins the Eryngium selection - fantastic filler. The first dried Anita is out of the dehydrator ready for your 'everlasting' bouquets. Green Globe will be along in a week or two.
Scabious 'Stafa'
-
Continues and now the second grower is harvesting too so more volume available.
Sunflowers
-
Outdoor harvesting is now in full swing and there is plenty to go at, there are acres and acres of sunflowers around this area - we have been sticking two wobbly eyes on one flower per bunch (just use glue-dots!) everyone loves a smiley sunflower and we sold out twice in outlets this week!! Treat with CVBN Gerbera pills and keep ambient - sunflowers hate being chilled.
Eremurus
-
A much more manageable size, the yellow are with 'tails' of approx 30cm and a stem length of 80-90cm. When they're gone that's it! Over for another year!
Scented Pinks
-
Lovely selection of varieties - Put more Pink in the World! Selling well in bundles for the consumer and now available as a box offer too :) White and Peach available too although in smaller volumes than the pink varieties.
Scented Stocks
-
The Premium grade is slowing right up as the stocks season draws to a close.
-
Standard Grade has approximately 3 weeks remaining and full colour range. Because of the hot weather we had a few weeks ago the crop is showing some size variations as it affected the growth.
Foliages
-
Irish Silver Sussex, BottleBrush, mixed green boxes and trailing Ivy - The Ivy has suddenly gone crazy and is really REALLY long! Sustainable Moss is on stock.
Iris
-
Blue Discovery
-
Yellow Apollo
-
Purple Tigris
Sweet Williams

Sweet Williams finished.
Limited Editions

Green Oats on special request.
Final Field Notes
-
Asters along around the end of July.
- Nigella & Delphiniums - there will be another flush later in the year - over for the moment.
- Crocosmia is coming through this week.
- Pumpkins and Squashes are greening-up and the damp humid weather that gets them going!
