 As seen on TV...Gardener's World June 1st, 2007.

I have a keen interest in unusual garden plants  (okay, okay, I’m obsessed with them!!).  I especially enjoy growing from seed as I am awed by the miraculous process of germination.  I love aquilegias (granny bonnets/ columbines), and I have the National Plant Collection® of the Aquilegia vulgaris cultivars and hybrids, here in Swansea. Perhaps you’ll be tempted by some of the seed, not just for singles, but also doubles, bicolours and scented forms.  

 TESTIMONIALS: "Your list of seeds is very impressive"  " Congratulations again on a wonderful seedlist" I M Miller, Galashiels "Order received safe and sound. I appreciated your generous choice of plant seeds  and the Aquilegia Connoisseur's Choice seeds included in my bumper bundle of Terrific Twenty* for £8, but I've noticed that Chiltern are selling them at £3.40/packet!" D Caldwell, Kent  2007.  "A pleasure to deal with, I feel like visiting your garden - and I would love to see pictures of it.  I hope to deal with you again very soon, kids, work, studying and of course - time permitting!  Once again, thanks, and I wish you continued success!" "Parfait ,Bon Produit Conforme Bien Emballé Envoi Rapide RECOM. à l'INTERNATIONAL"
 

SCROLL DOWN FOR  NON-AQUILEGIA SEED LISTS

• The bees have had their fun, and as all my plants are open pollinated, aquilegias and many other cultivars cannot to guaranteed to come true to type, I select seed from the correct seed parent, but do not know what pollen fertilised it. 
• Often, I may only have a few packets of seed of a certain type. I don’t say which are in short supply because, magically, everyone suddenly ‘must have’ that plant!  So please give plenty of alternatives, or ring/e-mail for availability.
• HOW MANY SEEDS IN A PACKET? Usually 'enough'! At least 20 seeds and sometimes even double that amount.

   PHOTOGRAPHS are great, but COLOURS aren't always perfect: eg understand that ordinary photos tend to make blues look more purple and digital photos make the blues look clearer! So please use the photos with this in mind and take the written description as more realistic.  However, MOST of the photos are taken of the actual plant from which the seed was harvested....that's good, isn't it?   

KEY: 'NEW for 20xx'' means new this year, either for the first time or after a time of unavailability on the seedlist, ~ means seed (or some of the seed) has been sourced elsewhere (I can't guarantee germination rates etc!).                     Carrie Thomas-

More payment details at bottom of this webpage.  Including OVERSEAS information.

ACONITUM	napellus	hp	Monkshood.  This species has beautiful new spring growth very early in the year, looking remarkably lovely near crocuses and other spring bulbs.  Soon the tall purple spires, choc-a-bloc full of strange ‘monkshood’ flowers create excitement.  I grow this as I can’t keep slugs away from delphiniums!  Poisonous.  Desirable.  Early flowers.
AQUILEGIA SEEDS TOUCHWOOD NATIONAL COLLECTION   Granny's Bonnets Columbines	Follow this link for a whole page!	hp
AGROSTEMMA	githago	ha	Corn cockle. great wild flower with pink flowers and 'black' lines. Sorry, no pic. Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets
AGROSTIS	nebulosa  'Fibre Optics'	ha	This is my 'find of the year 2008' and it shrugged off all the horrid 2010 'summer' weather and continued to look good until November, I've also harvested it for dried arrangements including to attach to gift tags.  Photo's don't do justice to the beauty of this plume of grass that could well have inspired scientists to create fibre optics.    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
+ALLIUM	schoenoprasum NEW FOR 2012	hblb	Chives.  Indispensable.  Edible leaf and purple flowers, which look smashing in a potato salad!
atriplex	hortensis rubra	ha	Purple Orache: a hardy annual that self-seeds each year.  Ornamental foliage plant to 1m or more with luscious deep purple-black leaves.  Luscious?  Yes, edible as a leaf to mix into salads, where the almost black leaves contrast fantastically with green salad leaves. The colour is rather darker than the camera shows.The seed-heads are fantastic in flower arrangements.
BORAGO	officinalis    'Alba'	ha	How about this? A pure, sparkling white form of Borage or Starflower.  Use like borage, including pulling off the flowers to use in drinks, or freeze within icecubes! Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets
BRIZA	maxima	ha	Growing to about 1 metre, this is the extraordinary giant quaking grass. Absolutely enormous quaking lockets, loads to each stem.  A hardy (naturalising) annual, great for fresh and dried flower arrangements.    article link
BRIZA	media		Junior relative of above? Perennial I believe.  NEW FOR 2012
CAREX	buchananii    Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets	hp	Eye-catching golden-russety grass foliage, good shape for containers
CAMPANULA	trachelium	hp	Blue-purple flowers. The nettle-leaved bellflower, 2-3', resplendent in early summer..  A good ‘doer’, which gently self-seeds. And is slug-proof.
chelidonium	majus fl.pl.	hp	Double form of the native greater celandine (absolutely no relation to, and nothing like the lesser celandine). Perky yellow flowers decorate a mound of great foliage over a long flowering season. Generously self-sows (if you let it!).
DACTYLICAPNOS	macrocapnos   Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets	hp	One of my favourite climbing plants. Maidenhair-ferny foliage draped with  bunches of typical yellow-locket dicentra flowers.  Can flower first year at just about a metre high, then you’ll think that this delicate beauty has died, but in May you’ll realise it’s sprouted again and will achieve greater heights (and widths), yet never smothering its support.  Try it over that boring summer shrub.  I can’t guarantee it’s hardy in colder counties…..please try it and report back.
DACTYLICAPNOS	torulosa	ha	Another climbing yellow Dicentra....except that we now have to call all these plants Dactylicapnos. Grown more for the strange terracotta seed pods, which break open to reveal strings of black-and-white seeds. Captivating! Although an annual, it will remain in your garden yearly through its self-seeding capabilities.  Pods stain hands yellow, so unwise garden guests will get more than they bargain for if they desire seed!
DACTYLICAPNOS	?roylei or ?lichiangensis	ha/p	Another climbing yellow Dicentra....except that we now have to call all these plants Dactylicapnos. Yellow flowers and attractive chunky seedpods that gently colour up in the autumn, Name to be confirmed, I had it as either lichiangensis or ex CC3806. climbing dicentras article (NB out of date generic-name-wise now)
DICENTRA	yellow, climbing		Now known as Dactylicapnos, see above
DIPSACUS	fullonum	hp 5-8'	The teasel.  A biennial whose first year rosette suddenly ‘takes off’ in the second year to create a candelabra of masses of purple flower heads.  Use fresh or dried in flower arrangements, or leave on the plant for dramatic winter interest, birds will be grateful for the feed of seeds. Self sows year-to-year.  Unusual for the way it traps insects in leafy, watery graves to ensure nitrogen for growth. The photo shows how the leaf bases are joined around the central stem to form a watery moat.
EUPHORBIA	x pasteurii  (10 seeds) Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets	hsh	How about this? An amazing shrubby, evergreen euphorbia. Yes, it's hardy, and the flowers are honey-scented (as its a cross of E. mellifera x E stygiana. Really good do-er in the garden. I HAVE to cut mine back as Touchwood is a small garden...but it doesnt seem to resent the hard treatment at all...in fact I think I'm more upset to loose such wonderful growth that it is!
DIANTHUS	armeria Deptford pink     NEW FOR 2012	hb	Deepest pink flowers open individually over a long period. Deptford Pink article
+DIGITALIS	purpurea cultivar NEW FOR 2012	hb	Foxglove.
~DIGITALIS	purpurea ex white form	hb	Select seedlings with no purple in the leaf stem.
FOENICULUM	vulgare, bronze form	hp	BRONZE FENNEL  The filamentous leaves are especially beautiful in the spring as they unfurl, darkly. Reaching head-height, all parts are edible, including the multiheaded flowerheads and the seeds. Oh, the roots, are they edible? Anyone know? But then you'd not want to eat them and loose a long season of interest: April 'til the frosts, and even then as seedheads for winter architectural interest and for feeding the birds.
Galtonia	candicans	hblb	‘Summer Hyacinth’ Flowering in spires at over a metre high, this summer flowering hardy bulb, with individual flowers reminiscent of a large snowdrop rather than a hyacinth! Will flower in 3 years from seed.
GERANIUM	‘Purple Haze’ (12)	hp	Beautiful purple-leaved  Meadow Cranesbill.  Easy to select the ones with PURPLE leaves just after germination.  Delightful and different!
+ GERANIUM	psilostemon (12) NEW FOR 2012	hp	Magenta flowers with black centres and veins. Need I say more?
GERANIUM	pyrenaicum (20)	hp	Pyrenean Cranesbill. Masses of small pink flowers, and a long season are the attractions of this shorter hardy geranium. Particularly good in a pot, and flowering first year from seed.  Does tend to seed itself though… ………..beautifully!
GERANIUM	pyrenaicum f. albiflorum (14)	hp	Cranesbill.Masses of white flowers, and as good as its standard pink brother in all other ways.  A must-have!
GERANIUM	pyrenaicum pink with white eye (15)	hp
GERANIUM	pyrenaicum ‘Isparta’ (15)	hp	Pyrenean Cranesbill.Masses of small and cheerful white-eyed purple flowers, very desirable! Flowers 1st year of sowing.
GERANIUM	pyrenaicum eyed mix	hp	Well the above is what I've always grown as 'Isparta', although I can't find a proper description of it. Here we have a mix of eyed forms from Touchwood.
GERANIUM	pyrenaicum large form (15)	hp	Cranesbill. Larger in all its parts, than the normal form, even the leaves are particularly beautiful. I bought the mother plant tin 2007 - at a rare plant sale and am thrilled to offer just a few seeds.
HESPERIS	matronalis	hb	Sweet Rocket. Cottage garden biennial: sweet rocket, with clove scented, edible flowers at 1m or more, will self seed gently if allowed.   Seed from purple form.
HESPERIS	matronalis alba	hb	Sweet Rocket. Cottage garden biennial: sweet rocket, with clove scented, edible flowers at 1m or more, will self seed gently if allowed.  Seed from white forms.

LYCHNIS	coronaria  alba	hp	Silvery, furry leaves, with white flowers, very cool.   Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets
Malva	moschata	hp	The musk mallow.  This perennial has pretty purpley-pink flowers over a long season.  Attractive spring growth. All the musk mallows flowers first year from seed. Edible flower and leaf (very tasty, reminiscent of the smell of nettles when you cut them down). NEW FOR 2012
Malva	moschata alba	hp	The beautiful white form of the musk mallow. Resplendent when smothered in blooms each year. gets bigger and bigger and better and better each year. NEW FOR 2012

Millium	effuseum var. aureum	hp	Bowles Golden Grass.  Brightest yellow springtime foliage, airy flower-heads.
~MIMOSA	pudica (10)   Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets	hha	The sensitive plant to delight children up to the age of 90 years old...and possibly older unless they've lost their zest for life by then! Fancy filigree foliage that responds to touch by rapidly folding up each leaflet, then, dropping the whole leaf stem and playing dead. Never fails to amaze me. Then again, I'm not yet in my nineties (I hereby squash any rumour to the contrary). The final act before seeding is a froth of pink fluffy flowers. Perfect! Follow this Mimosa pudica link to a whole page of its movement delights!
mirabilis	jalapa, ex white(10)	(h)hp	‘Marvel of Peru’ , or the ‘Four o’Clock Plant’.  A nearly hardy perennial which flowers first year from seed.  Its hardiness is similar to dahlias…..and the root thongs may be similarly stored over winter. My plants merrily takes over my cold greenhouse, so are perennial with just a bit of protection.  Flowers at over a metre high, in red, yellow or white. The trumpet flowers open in the evening and overnight with a most lovely penetrating fragrance, try one in your conservatory.
+ mirabilis	jalapa,  ex yellow (7)	(h)hp	Seed from the yellow  flowered form of ‘Marvel of Peru’. All colours of flowers are fragrant.    Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets
Myrrhis	odorata	h p	Sweet cicely: herb with lacy white flowers, aromatic leaves and tasty large seeds when they are still green. The pic shows white sweet cicely with Aquilegia No 13, black double. Look good together, don't they?
NICANDRA	physalodes	ha	Shoo-fly plant . Huge annuals at about 3' x 3', and even I can translate that to metric: 1m x 1m ! Shrubby growth with blue and white flowers, and some years it's up to 5' high and wide! Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets
NICANDRA	physalodes 'Violacea'	ha	Shoo-fly plant .  Shrubby growth with blue and white flowers, but it's the stupendous almost-black buds and Chinese lantern-shaped seedpods that makes this cultivar a real showstopper. Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets
nicotiana	sylvestris	hha	ENORMOUS trumpets that have a most beautiful scent....do grow some in your conservatory where it will scent the room, especially during the evening.  Pic not so good...doesn't show that these flowers are grouped together in HUGE heads..to 6'tall
~NIGELLA	White form	hp	Love in the mist (or when those lovely seed-pods are ready: Devil in the bush!     NEW FOR 2012
OENOTHERA	biennis	hb	Evening primrose.  Large, bright yellow scented flowers.
PAPAVER	somniferum  Light form	ha	Opium poppy. NEW FOR 2012 I love the blue (glaucus) foliage as much as the large flowers....and the seedpods too.
PAPAVER	somniferum  Plum form	ha	Opium poppy. NEW FOR 2012 Look what you can do with the seed-pods! Draw your own designs with a pencil or even just a stick.
PAPAVER	somniferum 'Giganteum' Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets	ha	Opium poppy. I'm growing this myself for the first time to get the most hugest seed-pods imaginable. Great decoration in the garden and also for dried use. And yes, of course, they also have decorative flowers!
polemonium	caeruleum	hp	Jacob’s ladder. Attractive, ladder-like leaves and heads of blue flowers during the summer months. About 18"-2' The flower really is lovely...yellow-centred blue blooms.
polemonium	caeruleum white form	hp
polemonium	pauciflorum	ha/p	Short (10-18"), flowering first year from seed, is this one with rather special flowers. Looks great filling a tub. If the plant doesn't survive until the next year...never mind, it should have self-seeded itself! Came through 2011's deep freeze.
POTENTILLA	recta	hp	Most potentillas creep but this is erect ('recta') to about 12-18", and so the flowers can better be appreciated. Has a quiet charm and is a perfect foil for other flowers over most of the summer months.
PRIMULA	elatior hybrids	hp	I find our native oxlip a very pleasing plant that easily thrives here. It flowers just after primrose starts and before cowslip begins. Natural hybrids have arisen which are sturdier and seem to flower even longer.....do try them
PRIMULA	capitata ssp mooreana	hp	Delightful toadstool-capped primula. Deepest coloured flowers offset by silvery-white powder.
PRIMULA	veris red form	hp	Cowslip. Did you know that our beloved native flower also comes in the red form
SILENE	'Ray's Golden Campion'	hp	I love this. Strong golden foliage and pink flowers over an amazingly long period. I cut mine back in June towards end of flowering and was rewarded by some more flowers in Aug-October.
schizostylis	coccinea	hp	The astounding and slug-proof Kaffir Lily, with crimson flowers in October when most plants are going to sleep for winter. Trouble-free, beautiful, and evergreen.
schizostylis	coccinea pink form	hp	Kaffir Lily with pink flowers, again, slug-proof. LATE MATURING seeds, about Dec/Jan!
silybum	marianum Seed pod	hp	One worth growing for the name alone!  That’s the common name, of course, which is Holy or Milk Thistle, in allusion to the leaves being liberally and beautifully laced with the silver-white of Mary’s milk. Gorgeously glamorous flowers offset by the ruff of spiky bracts. This is the plant that has everyone asking 'what's that!' when they see the beautiful large silver-variegated leaves.  And that's before  the flowering stem shoots up to produce a cascade of architectural blooms.  I love them!  Even then there's more to come with attractive seedpods and parachuted seeds that are beautifully mottled. Mind you the best bit is the visitors' faces when I reply to their 'What's that!' query, with the latin name 'Silybum!'	The seed is the source of an oil that's full of healthy constituents, and commercially known as 'silymarin' (a condensing of the name 'Silybum marianum' ...well who'd swallow silybum capsules let alone tell anyone that you're taking them???)
TANACETUM	parthenium  FEVERFEW syn Matricaria	hb	Aromatic foliage. Masses of yellow-centred daisy flowers in summer and autumn...and this year even now on December 12th 2012!	I
TELLIMA	grandiflora	hp	Fringecups.  Evergreen shade-lover that also does well in the sun!  Tall waving wands of tiny fringed flowers with a delicate scent that I liken to azaleas.
THALICTRUM	aquilegifolium	hp	A tall (5') hardy perennial that doesn’t usually need staking, it has amazing froths of purple fluffy flowers, as well as attractive seed heads.   Very reliable.
+THALICTRUM	species	hp	A tall hardy perennial pinky-purple puffs of fluffy flowers. Exquisite. Get any packet of seed free if you can correctly name this for me. Looks like aquilegiifolium but the leaves are different.
THALICTRUM	flavum poss subsp glaucum	hp	Tall -5-6' perennial. I love this with climbing /rambling roses...pic on left  shows it with Rosa 'Alchemyst'.
~THUNBERGIA	alata   MIXED	hhacl	Black-eyed Susie.  Fantastic annual  climber. Here you will get creamy, yellow and orange flowers, both with and without the dark eye.     Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets
?TRITICUM	Ornamenta	ha	Possibly an ornamental form of wheat. Anyway, great in the garden, fabulous for flower arrangements, delightful and long-lasting dried.....oh and brilliant for the birds too!
verbascum	chaixii or nigrum  yellow	hp	A perennial, steadily increasing clump, a verbascum with many spires of flowers with yellow petals, and purple centres. Each exquisite flower has a central tuft of furry (yes, furry) purple stamens. Why? I guess we'll never know, but the bees should appreciate the way they have a remarkable landing-platform during their sorties for nectar and pollen.
verbascum	chaixii or nigrum album	hp	In this version, the spires of flowers have white petals to offset the purple centres. Brilliant!
VERBENA	bonariensis	(h)h a/b/p	Sometimes perennial, or self-sowing each year, is this wonderful plant for attracting butterflies. 3-5' but 'airy' so you can place it towards the front of the border if you wish. Last year's seeds, so double-sized packets
VINCETOXICUM	nigrum (x 15) Black swallow-wort	hcl	Rare opportunity: exotic climber with good foliage, and oversized and very decorative pods compared to the small black flowers.	I've read that the flowers are unusual ...their pollen is contained in pollinaria  (like orchids' and araujia)...must get out my hand-lens and look sometime...
VIOLA	cornuta  Name means horned: see the horned spur?	hp	The delicately beautiful horned violet.  This splendid and robust perennial, flowers near ground level in the open, or will scramble to 30-40cms high in the perennial border. A purple-blue colour.
VIOLA	cornuta  alba (10)	hp	Highly desirable, this is the white form of the horned violet.  All forms of the horned violet are particularly floriferous and should give colour over six months. Position them where you can have all their faces looking towards the sun, ...and you!
VIOLA mix	mix	ha/b/p	A dazzling and joyful mix of all sorts of colours.  Flowers in a few weeks. Phenomenally good value in the garden or in containers. NB These are violas not large-flowered pansies.
