Plants

We pride ourselves on offering a far wider range of plants than is available in the average nursery or garden centre. We also stock a number of rare or unusual plants.

We have a wide selection of trees from decorative trees such as Acers to old favourites like oak. We also stock fruit trees which are mainly trained as bush or half standards, however some are available as cordons, espaliers, fans and stepovers. These are available throughout the year in sizes that will fit most types of car (delivery can  be arranged). Bare root plants can be supplied from November to February. 

We stock over one thousand varieties of shrubs. There are sections for evergreen shrubs (for year-round interest and structure), deciduous shrubs (grown for their flowers and foliage) and sun-loving shrubs (deciduous and evergreen plants for full sun and well drained soils) For those with acid soil, we have rhododendrons and azaleas but don't forget they make ideal plants for pots and containers.

We have an enormous choice of perennials, including currently fashionable grasses and Hostas. We stock cottage garden favourites, such as hardy Geranium, Hemerocallis and Penstemons, in many more forms than are normally available.  We also have an interesting selection of herbs and alpines.

We stock hundreds of roses, including many varieties of old-fashioned shrub and species roses (such as gallica, centifolia, moss and tea roses) as well as English (Austin) roses, Hybrid Teas, floribundas, climbing, rambling and standard roses. These are available in pots throughout the year, but can also be supplied as bare root plants from November to January. We can send most (except standards) by mail order during the dormant period.

We have a good selection of climbers with many varieties of clematis, as well as more unusual climbers such as Trachleospermum, Stauntonia, Akebia and a number of Wisteria varieties.

In our greenhouse, we sell an interesting selection of houseplants, citrus plants, climbers for the conservatory and bulbs in season.

In early summer, we offer more interesting bedding plants, such as Lantana, Bidens and Felicia in small pots suitable for hanging baskets and tubs as well as favourites like Pelargonium, Petunia, Nicotiana, Lobelia and masses of Impatiens.

We also stock a selection of conifers (ranging from dwarf varieties to giants such  Cedrus and Taxodium). 

Hedging plants and soft fruit are also available bare root in the autumn..
