Garden planters lead effect Wednesday, 20 January 2021 | Bill Great for what I am going to use them for,but i do find them a little flimsy after filling with soil and watering the bottom needs suport in the middle,if they are up on feet on the ends. Monday, 11 January 2021 | Nora As always these are well developed plants, with plenty of healthy leaf growth. After a couple of weeks they are starting to show flower buds and am sure they will provide a lovely spring display at our front door. Tuesday, 5 January 2021 | Heike Prompt delivery and excellent service . A very happy customer 😊 Thursday, 31 December 2020 | Sharon Highly delighted with my purchase. This was bought for a present and the recipient was very happy. Tuesday, 29 December 2020 | Linda I was pleased with the pot I ordered. I have not seen any like this before. The galvensied effect is very much like the real thing. It is very competetively priced. I would definitely buy one again. They have such a good selection, I always have difficulty making my mind up about which one to buy. Tuesday, 22 December 2020 | Roy An excellent response to an e-mail enquiry led to the purchase of Polyanthus plants and Alium Bulbs. They arrived on time, with the plants being well packed, in good condition and are already flowering. One Alium, 'Silver Spring', looked to be beyond help and Brookside immediately posted a free replacement. Can't improve on service like that! Now deprived of my favourite pastime, visiting gardens & nurseries, Brookside are the main contenders to fill that gap. | 
Kniphofia are robust, clump-forming, rhizomatous perennials, perhaps better known as red hot pokers. They prefer a sandy soil that has well-rotted organic matter dug into the area before planting. They will also grow in most garden soils in full sun or partial shade in a spot that is adequately well-drained and not waterlogged., especially in winter.
