FOENICULUM vulgare ‘Smokey’. Bronze Fennel. A good deep bronze seed strain with a marked bloom to the young stems. £4.20

FUCHSIA. You may gather from the following list that we are rather fond of Fuchsias, particularly when they are as hardy and long flowering as the following. Prices from £4.75

F. magellanica ‘Floriade’. Brought back from the US by us in 2005 this has settled well here and with its admirable aubergine-purple and rich red flowers has made a worthy addition to our list. 1m+
