Perennial plants offer outstanding value as they live for many years in your garden. They are grown for both their colourful flowers, attractive foliage and provide interest for many months of the year. Their versatility adapts them to be grown in borders, planters or pots Perennials are available for most soils and aspects, be it sun, shade, rich or poor soil. Some are evergreen whilst others are deciduous and loose their foliage in winter, offering greater protection from cold and wind. Generally perennial plants provide an excellent food source for bees and pollinating insects. Read More
Bedding Plants
Seasonal bedding plants are used for impact and are generally easy to grow. In the winter and early Spring we use Pansies, violas and primulas as the are hardy to the cooler climate.
In the summer the range is amazing with plant for every aspect from tubs & hanging baskets, to boarders that will flower from April until the first frost of winter.
Shrubs
Shrubs form the framework of a garden. They create height and interesting focal points.
Their uses can be as specimen plants, hedges for wind break or to provide shade.
Some are evergreen whilst others are deciduous losing their leaves for winter, Deciduous varieties can have amazing foliage in the Autumn as they turn from green to yellows, oranges and reds, before leaving the skeleton of twigs and branches which can be as attractive as a plant with foliage.
Many shrubs flower, some have scented blooms, and some bear fruit that can be left as winter feed for birds and insects. Flowering varieties will also provide food for bees and pollinating insects.
