We're back from Wales and while passing a florists in Lampeter I saw a tray
of these for sale. Having never seen anything like them before I went in to ask about them. The florist had no idea what they were but that he'd sold a lot. A customer said she didn't know what it was but that it grew on her rockery, in Lampeter, and spread. I bought one for the novelty - and to use for ground cover I hope. Someone here will know what it is - I hope. It looks like orange dress pins stuck into tiny cress! This picture is poor and I forgot to use something for scale. the whole of the plant is not more than 4" across. Mary http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6ga0ok3&s=1 |

Mary http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6ga0ok3&s=1 Orange Top Small but perfectly formed, Nertera granadensis (Bead plant) is a vibrant and fascinating addition to any room. Orange is the colour of creativity and optimism, always popular in eras of change, like the 60s. Originating from South America, bead plants have creeping stems and tiny green leaves which cover the whole surface of a pot, crowned with fleshy coral coloured berries after flowering. The bead plant should ideally not be watered from above, but take up water from below. Nowadays you can get bead plants in yellow, white and cream as well, and even combinations in the same pot. Click here for Nertera plant facts Requires a light well-drained soil in semi-shade and shelter from cold winds[200]. Plants are intolerant of excessive winter wet[200]. A prostrate mat-forming plant that forms roots at the nodes of stems, it grows well in a rock garden in areas where frosts are light and short- lived[200]. It is almost hardy in Britain, merely covering it with a pane of glass in the winter is usually ample protection[1]. A very ornamental plant.

David, I didn't see your post for some reason - you're not in my killfile. Orange Top Small but perfectly formed, Nertera granadensis (Bead plant) is a vibrant and fascinating addition to any room.

I would have thought Lampeter would be much to wet for it to do well David Hill Abacus Nurseries I really appreciate this information but I looked at other sites there seems to be disagreement about its hardiness. I'd like to plant it outside in a well-drained place but couldn't protect it during (rare) frost spells. Could I divide it so that I can try some in that place, some indoors and some in a position where I can cover it with glass when necessary? Lampeter IS wet (almost all of Wales is wet - but very fertile!). The woman who said she grew it said it was in a rockery which, presumably, is well drained. We're quite excited about this find and don't want to lose it :-) Thanks again, Mary |
