Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

"New" herbs don't come around all that often. But this one is a winner.

Quattro is a fantastic edible plant that just keeps on giving.

Why is it so good? 

  • The leaves of Quattro taste like ordinary onions with a very slight garlic taste bit with no garlic aftertaste!
  • This plant is hardy so can be grown outside all year round and produces stunning large lavender/purple flowers
  • The whole leaf is edible and so are the flowers!
  • Helps improve cardiovascular health and the reduction of cholesterol levels

 Alliums can be used in cooking for most any meal, making a lovely easy addition of onions and garlic. They can be eaten raw in salads too. 

Try it with an Omelette for a really great flavour. 

Rub over a chicken for a delicious taste.

Mix with Buttery sauce with prawns or mussels. 

Add to noodles, salads, pastas, it's incredibly versatile and oh so pretty !

 

Pot sizes explained

At Newlands Nursery we grow and sell plants in a variety of different sizes, from small starter plants up to planted containers. 

We know it can be tricky to picture the size of each plant. This page gives you an idea of the size of the plants we are sending out.

Please keep in mind that plants vary from one season to the next. The size of the plant refers to the pot or plug it is grown in, rather than the height of the plant, unless specifically mentioned on the plant page.

Starter Plant (Plug Plant)

Plug Size: 2cm by 4cm. Our most popular size. This is often the most economical way of buying plants and is a great way to get a head start on the season. Generally this size is best to be potted up before planting out.

Jumbo Plug

Plug Size: 6cm by 7cm. A fantastic alternative to a 9cm pot and saves on plastic too. The plants in this size are well established and give you a head start. This size is perfect for planting straight into containers and baskets as well as the garden.
