Pan Global Plants

Pan Global Plants Founded by Nick Macer, Pan-Global Plants is a specialist plant nursery located in the Severn Valley of Gloucestershire

Pan-Global provides an inspiring selection of the finest, most desirable and often rarest plants capable of growing on these isles. Many nurseries use the words ‘rare’ and ‘unusual’, but here we mean it in it’s true sense. Rare does not necessarily mean hard to grow; some may be a challenge but many are perfectly easy and can be immensely satisfying and rewarding. If you can't manage a visit to the nursery, plants are available by mail order.

A self sown seedling species/species-hybrid rose that conveniently put itself right next to one of the walls here. It's turned out rather well with its first flowering this year, with huge heads of fragrant flower up to 40cm across and all new vegetative growth saturated deep maroon, which contrasts very nicely with the flowers and is pretty darned striking when it first wakes up in spring. Comments from rose experts welcome...

Whilst Quasimodo makes sure all the little kids can't get to sleep on a Monday evening, the magnificent Salvia candelabrum clump is also belting it out at home. Must get this propagated and out for sale.

Inspiring views out front yesterday evening, with the diminutive but highly desirable Ferula arrigonii flowering again after many years. This fully perennial species is definitely not an annual repeat flowerer and this particular specimen last flowered some years ago, though I grow it for its foliage alone. Flowering is merely a surprising bonus.

Sold out at present, but there are lots of babies coming on at the nursery.

Dominating one end of the Pan Global' garden, this Black Sea giant is always a highlight of May here..

Spring foliage on the rarely seen Chinese horse chestnut Aesculus chinensis var. wilsonii (aka A. wilsonii). Closely related to the Himalayan Indian horse chestnut, A. indica and similarly flowers in summer rather than spring; it is immune to the modern maladies associated with the common horse chestnut, A. hippocastanum. The foliage is also highly refined in comparison and particularly attractive.

Us plant nerds always have our eyes open for the next 'best thing' or an improvement on something we already know and love. I selected and named Tilia henryana 'Kerdalo' after a visit to the late Prince Wolkonski's beautiful garden on the north coast of Brittany, back in 2009. Finding such a good form of this most desirable linden, and it being such a contrast to the commonly grown poor clone, prompted me to request material and permission to name it after the garden. In contrast to the common clone in cultivation, 'Kerdalo' grows with an upright form and elegant branching, forming a far superior crown shape. The expanding spring foliage is as beautiful as ever.

Some of the Epimedium currently available on the website, and of course at the nursery.

Before Bram came blustering thru the other day, this is what my old specimen of Wilsonaria guanxianensis looked like. One of the very last things to colour in autumn, the intensity was better than ever this year on this rarely grown but tough and easy species. Previously known as Sorbus megalocarpa var. cuneata, my tree has a direct lineage back to an original Ernest Wilson introduction. I raised it from seed in 1993.

Common in NW Africa, but a great rarity elsewhere, is Tetraclinis articulata. A small wild Cypress only known elsewhere from two tiny populations; one on the island of Malta and the other near Cartagena in SE Spain. Hardly an ornamental gem for the garden but an absolute stalwart member of the hot dry landscapes of these areas.

More from Morocco. 1) I have never come across Quercus coccifera with leaves like this, anywhere in the Mediterranean! Other specimens in this local were in a gradation from this extreme length to fairly normal-ish. 2) this photo does not do justice to how uniformly glaucous this population of Cork Oak, Quercus suber, were. 3) a mountainside of dwarf, multistemmed Quercus rotundifolia; the grey-green leaved close relation of the Holm Oak, Quercus ilex. Making sizable trees at lower altitudes, the species was always found as dwarf scrub at higher elevations. 4) The Moroccan endemic Cistus laurifolius subsp. atlanticus, with smaller leaves than the species, and particularly waxy glaucous here, high and dry in the Tazekka National Park.
