Auriculas are exquisite and endlessly fascinating. Grow some and see for yourself. They are easy to grow. Don’t starve them, put plenty grit in their compost, don’t keep them too hot or too wet. We grow most of them in pots as they are easier to display and admire that way. Keep them dry in winter and not too hot in summer. But, they are all hardy and some have done well in the open ground for many years. For the last few years we have arranged an Auricula theatre in late April This is our new list, several new and quite scarce varieties and the return of some old favourites. To get you going: 2 FANTASTIC VALUE STARTER COLLECTIONS 10 Auricula (our choice) £30(plus carriage) 5 Auricula (our choice) £15 (plus carriage) Several of the following varieties are in small numbers, but we like to offer them to those that have waited.
