Description
-
In this bumper collection, you’ll receive:
- 24 beetroots
- 6 ‘Lollo Rossa’ lettuces
- 8 ‘Korist F1’ kohlrabis
- 32 mixed radishes
- 10 ‘Cavolo Nero’ kale plants

- In an ideal world, we’d all like a fully sunkissed, unobscured veg patch (complete with a butler bringing us margaritas). We don’t live in an ideal world, however, and it’s not uncommon for our plots to be overshadowed by a tree or two.
- But should a towering trunk stop you from being able to grow your very own delicious veggies? Heck no! Everybody deserves their slice of the gardening good life, regardless of how much sun their garden gets.
- That’s why we created the Best Vegetables for Shade collection – an assortment of easy-to-grow vegetable plants that can flourish in even those semi-shady or dappled spots.
- These vegetables have a wide variety of flavours; from sweet and peppery kohlrabi, to bitter and earthy kale, and refreshing and nutty lettuce.
- Come to the dark side and get your exclusive collection of part shade tolerant vegetable plants, today!

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
