Home grown perennials aplenty
It’s one of our favourite times of year - when we can reveal row upon row of lovingly nurtured herbaceous perennials.
Every year we grow hundreds of varieties in our tunnels on site. Tried and tested favourites, award winners and lots of new varieties.
Our growing tunnels are unheated and our specialist team use peat reduced compost and slow release fertilisers to produce robust, healthy plants.
We only bring our plants up for sale once they’ve developed a strong root system, a good amount of top growth and are ready for planting out.
So far, this year’s relatively warm temperatures have resulted in many half-hardy perennials such as some Salvias & Agastache ready for sale earlier.
We are constantly topping up the benches as and when varieties are ready. We also sow and grow in succession, so popular varieties are available throughout the season.
If you’re after a specific variety and can’t see it, always ask as it may just be waiting in the wings!
Vegetable Plants
From aubergines through to squash, we grow almost 100 varieties of vegetables & herbs.
As always, we love a tomato plant - this year we’re growing 16 different varieties alone.
All of our edible plants are grown in peat-free compost with slow release fertiliser, using seeds from a leading British supplier with well over 100 years of expertise.
Many varieties are on sale now (some will need greenhouse protection for a while yet, but we’ve got signs out to remind you)!
