Some of our plants ranges
We grow on our nursery site 90% of the plants we sale including:-Ferns
Ferns are easy to grow and make ideal foliage plants for a shady spot. Their unfurling new growth can be delicate and feathery or large and lush,
ensuring there are ferns to suit every style and size of garden. Roses
Roses range from ground cover plants to ramblers that will cover fences, trees &
pergolas. With blooms that are generally scented, in a range of flower forms.
Roses need a light open area with good fertile soil to perform at their best.
Bearded iris
Bearded iris (Iris germanica), is one of the most popular irises to grow. With sword-like foliage and flamboyant blooms from May to June, it makes a striking addition to hot sunny borders. Each bloom is made up of large outer and inner petals, known as ruffs and falls, respectively. Bearded iris are so called because of the hairs growing along the centre of the falls. Salvia
Often used in large groups for bedding and are also a useful container plant with bold brash flowers have been a popular choice in formal gardens for many years however newer varieties of Salvia plants often contain more subtle colours. Savias can be very hardy although the summer flowering varieties can be tender, Agapanthus
Agapanthus, also known as the African lily, is herbaceous perennial. They flower during the summer, and have flowers in the common shades of blue and purple, and also white and pink. Agapanthus love to grown is well drained soil, and thrive in a sunny position. They thrive in any well-drained, sunny position in the garden, or grow these beauties in containers.
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.
