Planting Out Period

Born to the purple! Although Strobilanthes dyeriana may appear to be an exotic hybrid, it is in fact a naturally occurring species native to the lush, humid jungles of Myanmar. Its iridescent purple and silver leaves have a metallic sheen that shifts magically with the light, offering tropical glamour that suits contemporary and eclectic interiors alike. A light prune reveals fuller, bushier growth that keeps the colour intense. This purple beauty well deserves its RHS Award of Garden Merit. Ultimate height and spread: 50cm (20in) to 1m (3.2ft).

Growing Information

Indoors - Grow in average room temperatures of 18C (65F) - 24C (75F). Do not allow temperatures to fall below 12C (55F). Position in bright, indirect light, well away from direct sunlight. Avoid positioning this plant close to cold draughts and radiators.

Pinch out young growth to encourage branching. Water regularly, allowing the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings and ensuring that the root ball does not become saturated. House plants should be fed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth.

Outdoors - Treat as a summer bedding plant. Grow in light free draining soil in full sun to part shade. Pinch out young growth to encourage branching. Move to a frost-free area indoors to overwinter.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

Large Non-standard items may incur a higher, lorry delivery charge. Charges will be calculated at checkout, but an example of the lorry charges are listed below.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
