Your new plant find of 2013

And another seed grown favourite plant thats looked great this year Iris 'Chrysographes'

 

Did you get them from seed to flower in one year? Mine are still "young plants" :(

 

No Kristen, I was sent 10 seeds from a friend from which I got 4 plants one flowered in the second year and this will be the third year when all 4 have flowered, amazingly they're all as dark as this one!!!!

 

That's a relief, I was getting depressed that I was pants at this gardening marlarky!

Looking forward to that, thanks!

I've got some seed I harvested and sowed this Spring from Iris Caesar's Brother ... fingers crossed on the colour of that one too

 

*****BUMP*****
Some lovely new plants on this post , just thought we would have had a few more . Come on GC'ers what was your favourite plant of the year !

 

Another new plant that I bought from Harrogate spring show and I love it, much bigger flowers than the normal lamium and not so invasive apparently, its certainly behaving well so far in fact don't think I'd mind if this one did go a bit mad, planted in part shade in the wood.
Lamium 'Orvala'

 

My favourite new plant of this year is my Malus Royalty which has the most stunning purple leaves Looking forward to the bright pink blooms in spring.

 

Has to be these. Begonia 'Santa Cruz Sunset' (in the pots either side of the steps).
They're a new introduction from Ball Colegrave which we tried at work this year and they've put on a fantastic display.

 

Stunning plant Trunky Very similar to B. Bonfire which I can't find now. Brookside Nursery are selling the B. Santa Cruz £6 for 5 plugs . Its on the top of my 2014 shopping list now !

 

Never used them John , the prices and choice do look good for plugs. Plus you can pick your delivery week ! Wont everyone pick the same week ?
Has anyone used Brookside Nursery Staffs ?

 

I can't see the photograph, but I am sure it is stunning ...

 

Simbad that is beautiful - the flower is really fascinating.

 

Can't remember now JWK, they were planted up in early June and with my memory I can't remember stuff I did last week, let alone nearly 4 months ago!

They're still going strong, so I'll have a look at them tomorrow and let you know.

Victoria, I copied and pasted the picture from my post (#18) in the 'What's looking good in September 2013' thread, perhaps you can see it ok on there.
