Squash ‘Disco’ germinated in 3 days! A week on and now into secondary leaves and over 10cm high. Shouldn’t be long before I can eat these lovely flying saucers! This is my favourite variety. Looks good and eats good. #wellworthgrowing #squash #disco #plants #seedlings #gyo #growyourown #slowfood #garden #plants #gardeningadvice #gardening #allotment #gardeningtips (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_5H1UOAtkw/?igshid=m5wrsoh1uo3f

Primula polyantha ‘Stella Neon Violet’ (Polyanthus). #oneadayplant The advantages of a polyanthus over a primrose is the fact that flowers are held up above the foliage on strong stems. I was really taken by this very bold colour (the camera doesn’t do it justice). Had to buy. Hard to beat for ease and colour range, species and cultivars of Primula are diverse and varied, generally very easy to propagate through division or seed and easy to grow. #wellworthgrowing Tempted to try partnering with a lime-green Euphorbia. #plants #primrose #primula #polyanthus #violet #neon #purple #colour #hardy #perennial #easy #garden #gardening #gardeningtips #landscape #planting #plantingdesign #flower #iplantsman (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9oLOENgBjg/?igshid=4h4zou0fqcxj

The underside of the leaves of Psuedowintera colorata ‘Marjorie Congreave’ (New Zealand Pepper Tree or Mountain horopito) are as interesting as the top side. Especially interesting when she has these tiny, spicy-scented flowers hidden beneath them. #oneadayplant I love this shrub. Very awkward colour to easily introduce with other plants, but a real beauty as a specimen. Prefers an acidic soil and I grow mine in a container, though only for convenience. Very unusual colours of olive-green, silver and maroon. A good evergreen shrub that is always a talking point. #wellworthgrowing #plants #garden #shrub #ericaceous #newzealand #plantingdesign #colour #landscape #pepper #flowers #winter #spring #evergreen #gardening #gardeningtips #red #maroon #silver #olive #green #iplantsman (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9jGerEAUIS/?igshid=m1drgon8z5yc

My favourite variety of Fuchsia magellanica, ‘Lady Bacon’ is instantly recognisable with her bicolour red and pink sepals. Perfectly hardy and very free flowering, it makes an impressive shrub given time. #wellworthgrowing #plants #plantsofinstagram #fuchsia #garden #hardy #shrub #subshrub #landscape #pollinator #beefriendly #deciduous #pink #red #flower (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzn0qS6AjaJ/?igshid=4pg2kygmyjal
